Flagship Store 2021 SW Main St. Ste 59, Portland OR

About the Designer:

Recognized continually in numerous local publications as well as televised media, Sophie has established a local standing as the go-to in bridal and evening wear fashions. Her gowns have been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides Magazine (USA and UK). A bridal gown is the most important garment a woman will wear in her lifetime. Sophie believes that every woman should feel like a true princess and have everything her heart desires on her special day.

Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Sunjin Lee studied architectural and urban design from the prestigious Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul. Sunjin got her first taste in bridal design back in 2010 when she designed two of her own wedding gowns. Sunjin believes that femininity does not always need to include frills and laces. A woman’s curve itself is most beautiful and romantic. Sunjin designs gowns that celebrate and enhance the natural beauty of the body, not distracting from it by adding too much.

Amrapali Boutique 2056 NW Aloclek Dr. Ste 305, Hillsboro OR

About the Designer:

A former fashion rep, she first started designing daywear for her Kimmi Designs line six years ago, but the romantic vibe of her body-conscious silhouettes and delicately draped, lacy embellishments naturally led to many requests for wedding dresses—and a new calling. Her vision and talent for reworking antique laces into modern designs earned her top honors in the bridal design category of Seattle magazine’s 2011 Seamless in Seattle fashion design competition. Her custom-made designs range from $350 to $2,000. Brides hoping to order custom gowns should place their order four months prior to the wedding.

AMRAPALI is a revered and sought after destination for all things related to Indian fashion. It is the result of a long-time dream to bring forth Handmade Designer Indian apparel, jewelry, accessories and handicrafts directly from India to US. Twice a year Sushmita travels personally to India from North to South, East to West to find local artists in various states of the country and handpicks each accessory, apparel, fabric and handicraft. AMRAPALI is a one stop shop for your Bollywood Inspired Wedding Theme or a Lifestyle inspired by Exotic India.

About the Designer:

Deyonte’ Weather Collection is described as being a mix between hip and glamorous.

Devon Yan-Berrong, the internationally acclaimed fashion designer and watercolorist, originally from Hong Kong and currently living in Seattle, is thriving in his life and inspiration. His 2013 fall/winter collection is his sixth in 3 years.

At Built for Man our vision is simple: Look. Feel. Know What You’re Wearing… We create garments that stand out for practicality, comfort and style, while tirelessly pursuing the code of ethical and socially responsible behavior. We are a small, fashion-forward company based in the Pacific Northwest.

Andres Pinedo started sewing in 2008 and infuses his Latin roots into every creation. After seeing the power of a gorgeous dress make his mother feel so confident, he knew that he wanted to make other women feel the same way. His collection features luxurious materials such as chiffon, lace, satin, and tulle also known as the stuff that makes every girls dream dress. In his current collection, he focuses on the shape and simplicity of the garments to the female body. “I am always trying to take risks and make dresses that are daring and fun; I see the perfect girl for my garments as someone who is fearless & strong yet soft & sensual,” says Andres.

Weather says he draws inspiration from life saying, “Fashion is Life.” After studying Fashion Design at the International Academy of Design of Technology, Deyonte’ decided to take his brand to Seattle in 2010. Deyonte’ Weather Collection has shown exquisite garments at Metropolitan Fashion Week for the last two years. Deyonte’ was also a contestant in 2013 on a local reality show called ‘The Look Seattle’.

Despite numerous requests to take part in reality shows, Devon has no interest to compromise his creative process to quickly achieve a wider audience. Remaining independent and true to his vision may take longer, but his diverse designs will bring him the acknowledgment and praise he deserves.

Let us introduce you to our collection of fashionable apparel that will complement and enhance your personal style. Filled with light yet stylish pieces made of natural fibers, our collection is designed specifically to provide you with the most comfortable layering items for this season and every season after.
