The celeste ss26 collection is the first collection that Ross worked on as a design assistant, as well as hand-sewing the lace and draping throughout the whole collection. Ross worked directly with Jess throughout, contributing brand research, trend forecasting, as well as sketching, communicating with our patternmaker and machinists on the design, toiling, fitting, and hand-sewing the embellishment of the collection.
This collection looks beyond current trends to set new silhouettes and anticipate how the bridal market will change. The collection is layered with references to icons of versace and cavalli in the late 90’s + early 00’s pulled into a feminine, edgy, sexy woman.

Ross was very honoured to design and pattern-make a mens capsule collection as part of the dreamers collection at J. Andreatta. It was looking at subverting the classic dinner suit with beautiful silk fabrics, offering something a bit softer, more delicate than the classic mens’ bridal look. Ross did the designs and patternmaking for these two looks, working on toiles in fittings until the perfect look was achieved.
It consists of an unstructured silk suit with accented satin lapel, pockets, buttons etc; silk organza shirt with floral gazar bib, cuffs, and buttons; silk chiffon wrap shirt in pink rose print.

I have hand-sewn the beaded embellishment on all of these dresses for clients through my time at J. Andreatta. It’s a true privilege to work on such beautiful pieces, and the craft that goes into every one is incredible. For more than two years, I’ve been developing these hand-sewing skills, working on lace placements, and focusing on the hand-craft of fashion.
Some pieces take as little as two days, some more than two weeks, each requiring dedication, patience, and a sharp eye for detail. These involve hand-sewing, beading, embroidery, lace, draping, and motifs onto blank dresses.
