S/S 10
For S/S 10 my main inspiration came from the shape of animal's especially the owl. This had led me to juxtapose leather, suede and delicate lace in the shape of the bird's eye for a tight and constructed silhouette, which has voluminous skirts with the use of layered and ruffled chiffons. The collection also features summer coats in fine cotton drill complimented with leg-mutton sleeves and lace bib applications. Another crucial component is floaty dresses that cling to the body, featuring cut out sections and hand sewn bias bidding strips. A consistent palette of olive greens, woodland browns, soft dusty burgundies, beige, ecru, black and white prevail and give continuity to the brand ethos.

A/W 07
For A/W07 my aim was to continue with my love affair, the feminine silhouette.
A/W07 comprises three themes:
Femininity, Creative Tailoring and Vintage attire.
S/S 07
Inspired by the romantic side of
a more innocent time, this collection brings modernity to traditional femininity, combining tough leathers and floaty chiffons, contemporary structured bodices and Victorian empire lines.

A/W 08
Greatly inspired by the beautiful music of band ‘Beirut’, A/W 08 is a truly intuitively romantic collection

S/S 08
A harmonious fusion of different textures and materials, aimelessly pursuing the aesthetic balance in silhouette and beauty. Vintage lace is sewn by hand to compliment the delicacy of the material, chiffon is forbiddingly added to it and leather is masterly cut to achieve what is surely a beautiful, feminine and eclectic look.

“the harmonious fusion of different textures and materials, aimlessly pursuing beauty”. Leather, chiffon and lace are the prime tools of the craftsmanship.

Bernd Ott
I have been collaborating with the German photographer Bernd Ott for quite some time now. Bernd is this incredibly proffessional photographer i've ever worked with, to the point that even if we are only taking one photo for a preview or test he insists he has to bring his assistant and his crew along!

SHOP-LDG BY LOUIS DE GAMA
'Modern Vintage'
The first and only boutique in London opened on the 2nd of February 2009. The idea behind opening my own boutique, was to have a space where I could display my collections, a place where Louis de Gama fans can find all of my beautiful creations and be inspired by them. The shop atmosphere and decor blends in with the garments, a little romantic, a little bohemian, fresh flowers,lots of flowers!! candles,coffee and tea on offer and beautifully hand made dresses with a touch of real vintage roughed up with some constructed leather coats and jackets with some gothic and victorian references. Come along for tea!
