| Perhaps the most exciting component of our services is installing an exhibit based on the designer's work. This is one of the most visible products available to a designer. We are directly involved with the exhibit from conception to development to installation. |

Conception
There is more to an exhibit than a good idea. The concept for the exhibit can be as strong as the garments being displayed. We design exhibits based on an intimate knowledge of the designer and their colleagues and clients and on our understanding of each garment. |

Development
Most exhibits require some kind of support to be successfully mounted. This support comes in material form as well as financial. The acquisition of physical resources such as mannequins and lighting is just as important as funding.
We negotiate museum and private loans, solicit donations from retail and private sources, work with publicity outlets and coordinate the administration.

Installation
This process consists more of coordination than physical labor. We orchestrate the arrival of materials with preparation of the gallery space for the exhibition.
Our respect for the garments and personal attention to detail assists the dressing the mannequins. From steaming garments to styling them before and after dressing, we bring out the personality of each garment.

Return
Of course, after the exhibit comes to a conclusion, meticulous handling, packing and return shipping of the garments and materials is just as important as it was acquiring them. |
