The Private Commission

An original garment conceived by Jared Nanke for one client, one body, and one occasion.

Bridal · Evening · Ceremony · Occasion

Each commission begins with an introduction to the Maison. From that first meeting, Mr. Nanke develops an original design in response to the client, the occasion, and how she wishes to feel in the garment.

Jared Nanke

Every Private Commission is personally conceived and directed by Jared Nanke.

Mr. Nanke works directly with each client, from the first introduction and initial drawings through development, fittings, and the completed garment.

His approach is founded on proportion, structure, movement, and an understanding of the woman for whom the garment is being created.

The Process

THE INTRODUCTION

Mr. Nanke and the client meet privately to discuss the occasion, the client, and the possibilities of the commission.

THE DESIGN

Mr. Nanke develops the initial concept and presents the proposed design personally to the client.

THE ATELIER

With the design agreed, pattern development, material decisions, and preparation for the first fitting begin.

THE TOILE

The first form of the garment is fitted to establish line, proportion, balance, and volume.

THE FITTINGS

Through private fittings, the garment is progressively resolved on the body.

THE PRESENTATION

The completed Private Commission is formally presented to the client by the Maison.
