About

Hi, I’m Oriane.

I’ve spent eleven years helping people get dressed for the lives they actually lead, not the ones in magazines.

I started in costume rooms, where clothes have to tell a story in three seconds and survive a two-hour show. Real wardrobes ask for the same things: clarity, comfort and a little bit of character.

The story

From costume rooms to real wardrobes

After design school I worked backstage for theatre and film, fitting actors at speed and learning how a hem or a shoulder line changes the way someone walks into a room.

Friends started asking for help before job interviews and weddings. Then their colleagues did. In 2015 I took my first private clients, and in 2021 I opened a small studio in Lisbon.

Today I work with lawyers and chefs, teachers and founders, in person and online. The brief is always the same: fewer, better clothes that fit the week you really have.

Principles

Three rules I work by

01

Wear what you own first

Every session begins in your wardrobe. Most people are three pieces away from twenty outfits.

02

Fit before fashion

A good tailor beats a new trend. Proportion is what makes clothes look expensive.

03

Budgets are a brief

A clear number tells me where to invest and where a cheaper piece will do the job.

The studio

A small room with very good light

Colour sessions and fittings happen in the studio at Linden Yard, a quiet courtyard ten minutes from the river. Wardrobe edits happen at your place. Everything is by appointment.
