Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Archive represent?

This space collects visual documentation of Marie-Louise’s creative output. From editorial shoots to lookbooks and published features, the Archive serves as both a portfolio and a reflection — a way to experience the evolution of the work beyond the limitations of season or sale.

Why isn’t this look available for purchase?

Garments in the archive are crafted as one-of-a-kind couture pieces, often designed for lookbooks, exhibitions, or artistic collaborations. While not available for direct sale, inquiries from collectors or institutions are considered thoughtfully.

What does the “Time Estimation” represent?

Time Estimation offers a glimpse into the hours behind the garment. It serves as a quiet record of handcraft, including techniques such as knitting, crocheting, embroidery, sewing, and finishing. We see this as part of rewriting how garments are presented to the end consumer. The goal is to move away from transactional habits and toward emotional connection and deeper appreciation.

Can I request this look for a shoot or exhibition?

Creative collaboration is always welcomed. If you are a stylist, curator, or creative interested in working with this look, feel free to connect via the contact page or Instagram.

Are all materials natural?

Simple answer: Yes. Marie-Louise works only with natural fibers. We acknowledge, however, that sustainability is not always binary and that the impact of a material depends on context and sourcing.
