ABOUT JAMES FERRIERA
James Ferreira’s design philosophy is instantaneously recognizable in his flowing garments; from a weave to a drape, to a cut, and finally a silhouette, which remains nothing but one single piece of cloth. A master draper, James begins his design process by draping on a mannequin, until perfection of form, flow and drape is achieved, from which the first samples are born. His clothes sensually fit around the human body, epitomizing simplicity, feminity, drape and beauty.
