Designer Profile: Dreamcatcher Studio

February 24, 2010

Dreamcatcher Studio is a Brooklyn based design team of best friends Lucyna and Kasia. Both designers have a fashion and textile design background (and are both FIT alumni).

Kasia from Dreamcatcher Studio writes about how she and Lucyna began their line:

“Our journey began with Lucyna’s preparations for her own wedding (she got married in Oct 2009). She always wanted a vintage looking wedding gown and accessories that will  have romantic feel with a bit of modern twist. We realized that there are not too many options for brides who like quality and originality, yet don’t have the budget to buy couture.

We collaborated on Lucy’s Dream wedding gown (that Kasia made) and spent a lot of time searching for  inspirations and perfect lace, fabrics and trims and fell really enamored with the whole process. We ended up with many ideas and obviously couldn’t use them all on one dress…so we started our bridal accessories line. We tend to gravitate towards vintage and things that we personally like.”

“Our design style gravitates towards vintage, girlie, Hollywood glam accessories that will help brides shine on that very special day.  We try to incorporate vintage re-purposed items such as brooches,  beading, appliques along fine contemporary materials to achieve this special antique look that many brides are searching for. We enjoy working on custom orders and have completed many for special brides all over the world.”
