Haute couture garments are primarily handmade, sometimes requiring hundreds of hours of hand sewing, embroidery, fittings, and finishing techniques.

Every stitch is intentional. Every detail is considered. Couture is not fast fashion. It is craftsmanship at its highest level.

Registration for the Haute Couture Intensive closes tonight at midnight. 🧵

Good thing Rachel Ford is leading the Haute Couture Intensive. With 20+ years in fashion, costume design, and couture construction, she’s bringing real industry experience and craftsmanship into the studio.

💎 Began her fashion career as a designer at Free People before transitioning into costume design and couture-focused garment construction.

💎 Worked across Broadway, dance, films, and music performances, including projects featuring Madonna, Rihanna, and The Last Airbender directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

💎 Spent a decade in the Opera Company of Philadelphia’s costume department, where she refined her couture techniques while contributing to productions including Madame Butterfly and Carmen.
