A PLACE TO DREAM

A multidisciplinary design house in Brooklyn creating transformation through object, dress, and atmosphere.

What is The Collection?

The Collection is a multidisciplinary design house guided by tradition, self-expression, and meaningful memory.

Our work moves between The Atelier, the Charm Bar, and Atmospheric Design—three practices shaped through a guided creative process and the hands of our Brooklyn studio.Brooklyn, New York · Available worldwide

I never felt pressured to make a certain decision - the end goal was to just make it “me” and choose what was in my heart. For anyone who knows me, knows I’m overtly analytical - I want all the answers and possibilities before I make a decision, and this process was anything but that. I am seriously amazed by Ashley’s ability to quell any nerve or fear I felt throughout the process and constantly remind me, that is’ just about me. It has truly been one of the biggest joys to work with Ashley to create this, to get to bring friends and family together, and seriously just have so much fun.

From the sketches sent to me, to the outline, to the first mockup, to the final product, I was able to visualize every aspect of it.

I felt listened to. We took a simple idea to pay homage to my Italian and British heritages and turned it into something that is nostalgic yet modern at the same time. From completing a mood board all the way through final fitting, my input and ideas were not only asked for but encouraged.
