About Catharina Eden
I have always lived and breathed clothing and after studying at Central St Martins I started out hand sewing at Ben de Lisi. Then, I was lucky enough to work at Alexander McQueen where I drafted patterns, cut and sewed - an amazing experience. It gave me the confidence to set up my own bespoke evening wear company making cocktail dresses for private clients from my studio in South London. Soon after this I set up a garment manufacturing unit called Eden Studio primarily to manufacture my own orders, but word soon got out and eventually manufacturing took over and we made samples and small production for clients such as Allegra Hicks, Emilia Wickstead, Dunhill and Mary Katrantzou. We also made over 200 costumes for the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, which was my first experience in making costumes. I absolutely adore working with luxurious fabrics and apply the craft I have learnt over the years, but I also thrive on delivering show stopping dresses for clients on tight timescales, which is often the case for TV and stage. The Daily Mail fashion desk is probably my most time limited client though with generally a 24h turnaround from phone call to photoshoot! I also had the absolute pleasure of working in the costume department for hit TV series Bridgerton on season 2 and The Nevers.

I started learning with Catharina before going to University, and she really helped me gain confidence in my work. Catharina is not only easy to talk to, she answered questions patiently and helped to explain anything I was confused about. I learnt a range of skills from her, which I have been using throughout university, such as how to make a pattern from existing garments and little hacks like unpicking thread quickly and easily. Learning from her experience in setting up a business, and the work it takes to get your name out there has really benefitted me for the future!

To get the most out of the sessions I will give you a 30 minute introduction session for free, where you can tell me everything about you and what you wish to achieve. We will then come up with a plan during the free session so that we don't waste any time in the 1h slots and we can just crack on with working together.
