Atelier Amante

Everything About Fashion & Design

Currently based in Rotterdam, I continue to build and lead Atelier Amante while working closely with global clients. Whether you’re looking to develop a collection that makes an impact or curate a wardrobe that speaks to your individuality, I’m here to help you craft something extraordinary.

I help clients to achieve their dream collections with expertise for fashion design, trend forecasting and creative direction. Commercial or elevated luxury, depending on the target market, supporting clients from the very early beginning to finished product; storyline, mood boards, colors & print direction, sketches, technical pages, fitting and styling. Actively working internationally for established retailers and entrepreneur brands.

Crafting innovative and market-driven fashion collections that bring your brand's vision to life, from concept to creation.

In my role as Design & Development Director, I oversee the entire creative and production process for the brand's womenswear collections. My responsibilities include:

  • Creating Collection Identity: I collaborate closely with the La Familia team to develop a distinct brand identity, ensuring that each collection reflects the company's vision and resonates with its target audience.

  • Trend Research & Mood Boards: I conduct extensive research into global trends, fabric innovations, and market demands. I then translate these insights into mood boards that define the direction of each season—focusing on colors, prints, fabrics, and silhouettes.

  • International Inspiration Trips & Material Research: I organize and lead shopping trips to international fashion capitals, sourcing fabrics, trims, and accessories that align with the brand's vision. This includes visiting fabric mills, accessory suppliers, and textile fairs like Premier Vision Paris and Texworld Shanghai.

  • Design Development & Technical Oversight: I create detailed design sheets that guide the sampling process, ensuring that each piece is crafted to the highest standards. I lead fittings, oversee quality control, and ensure that the design vision is preserved throughout production.

  • Styling & Presentation: I also play a key role in styling the collections, presenting each piece to buyers and the creative team to guarantee the final product reflects the brand's ethos.

  • Supplier & Factory Relations: I work closely with manufacturers, visiting factories to oversee the production process and guarantee that the final product meets both aesthetic and technical specifications.

Atelier Amante & Entrepreneurial Journey

In 2020, after moving to the Netherlands, I embraced my entrepreneurial spirit and founded Atelier Amante, a design office focused on helping brands develop their unique collections and identities. Through my consultancy, I offer services such as trend forecasting, fabric research, product development, and styling, working with clients globally to bring their creative visions to life.

In addition to my work with corporate clients, I have expanded my passion for personal styling, helping individuals discover and express their unique style. Whether it’s creating a capsule wardrobe or preparing for a special event, I work with clients to enhance their confidence and personal expression through fashion.

Currently based in Rotterdam, I continue to build and lead Atelier Amante, combining my design consultancy and personal styling services to offer comprehensive fashion solutions.
