Boston-based Melissa Baldino had a dream to design a collection inspired by her Austrian grandmother. After working together for a year, I was Paris based, Melissa flew over and we worked with the Paris fabric agents, and my collective atelier http://www.collectif9.paris/ to create the first prototypes & fittings. To a perfect sample, launched her first collection of “Hauskleids”.
From the initial idea to sourcing fabric, pattern making, fitting, and production – every step led to this moment! Here are some images of the results! http://rikeandco.com
