Claire La Faye is the kind of designer you discover and immediately wonder how you hadn't found her sooner. Handmade in Portland, Oregon, her gowns are rooted in fine arts and built for the bride who wants something that feels genuinely hers. Romantic without being precious, sexy without trying too hard. She pulls from old Hollywood glamour and recuts it for the way women actually want to look and move today.

Every piece is handmade to order in the United States in limited quantities, silk charmeuse, silk organza, sequin lace and tulle, cut and sewn in her studio. Slow fashion in practice: nothing is made until it is ordered.

Handmade to order in limited quantities in the designer's Portland studio, a celebration of slow fashion and artisanal design. Estimated production lead time is 3-6 months.
