The atelier is built around the hands that make the work. Their craft sits on the inside of every gown.
The patternmaker draws the shape that a body will inhabit. A bodice that fits has been redrawn six or seven times before the toile is even cut.
The patternmakers in our atelier come from couture houses across the Gulf and South Asia, where the discipline is still taught hand to hand rather than at school.
Embroidery in this register is a slow art. A single bodice carries between forty and seventy thousand individual placements — crystal, bead, sequin, thread.
Each is set by hand by an embroiderer working close to the fabric, often in pairs, often through the night. The embroiderers are paid by the day, not by the placement — so no piece is rushed because the meter is running.
The founder cuts the silhouette, fits the toile, and signs the inner facing under the seal MG. Every commission passes through his hands at three distinct points: the sketch, the first fitting, and the final inspection.
