Welcome to the Studio
Learn how your dream dress is made, from the first idea to the final gown.
Inspiration
At the beginning of a new collection there is an inspiration board with hundreds of ideas, themes and dozens of beautiful fabrics and laces.
Design
Our designer, Kerstin Karges, draws her drafts from the inspirations. With these, the appropriate materials are chosen, cuttings created and prototypes sewn. During the whole design process the blueprints are constantly altered and improved, until a dream dress has been made.
Silk Fabrics
We use only the most valuable, best quality silk for the production of kisui gowns. These include duchesse satin, taffeta, chiffon, georgette and organza. These raw materials come from Italy and England, countries with the tradition of silk-weaving of the highest haute-couture.
Fine Lace
The lace used comes directly from France and Belgium, where delicate lacemaking has been perfected for centuries. Intricate embroidery and enchanting appliqués add highlights.
Modern Materials
There are exciting innovations every year with the kisui creations. These can be innovative fabrics, special applications or prints, modern laser-cut patterns or pockets on the wedding gown, which has been internationally imitated many times in recent years. Also, casual new combinations of kid-mohair, woven delicately into jerseys, tops and cardigans have set trends.
Tailoring
Before being used in a dress, the quality of every material is tested. Then, every dress is meticulously tailored with paper cut-out patterns.
Handcraft
The exceptional details of a kisui wedding gown come about through huge amounts of handcraft. The brilliant craftsmanship skill displays real feeling for material, design and fit to make a truly amazing gown.
Production
kisui gowns are only rarely available ready-made. We would love to make your chosen dress especially for you. Our dress sizes range from 32 to 46 but we also make extra-sizes or pregnancy dresses on request.
Made in Berlin
Your dress is made in Germany with much love and attention to detail. All kisui designs are made in Berlin, from the first sketch to the last stitch on the gown. This way, we can guarantee the highest quality of every part of the dress.
