Fashion designer Maria Gan talks about The Signature Edit, her new space, and the bespoke experience she wishes to create for her clientele.

In a moment where countless fashion trends tend to come and go, up-and-coming fashion designer Maria Gan likes to keep things classic and timeless, and her brand Maria Gan Couture is a true testament to that.&nbsp;
Last August, the Filipino designer celebrated a new milestone in her career with the unveiling of her new atelier and debut ready-to-wear collection titled &ldquo;The Signature Edit&rdquo;.

Launched in 2021, Maria Gan Couture leans into a sensibility so romantic, strikingly feminine, and incredibly alluring.&nbsp;Each design a reflection of her artistry, Maria&rsquo;s works come alive through a sophisticated interplay of clean silhouettes and intricate embellishments.
&ldquo;I believe in creating pieces that honor individuality, craftsmanship, and purpose. Design should be intentional, not just aesthetically pleasing, but also emotionally resonant.&rdquo; Maria shares with L'Officiel Philippines. From ethereal bridal gowns to incredibly crafted bespoke ensembles, Maria likes to make sure that each piece she creates stays true to her design philosophy while also staying attuned to the distinct style and personality of those who wear them.

Her new atelier, conveniently nestled right in Quezon City, looks just as refined as her pieces are meticulously crafted. For Maria, having a dedicated space where she can create connections with her clients signifies not just a new chapter for her brand, but also for her journey as a designer. &ldquo;This atelier represents hard work, sleepless nights, and unwavering passion. From dreaming about creating custom pieces in a small corner of my home to finally opening a dedicated space, it feels surreal. It's a physical reflection of my growth, both personally and professionally.&rdquo; Maria shares.
Stepping into her atelier, you&rsquo;re greeted with calming minimalist interiors that strike a balance between sophistication and warmth. The combination of clean lines, soft lighting, and intimate spaces for both seating and fittings ensures that the attention stays where it rightfully belongs: on her work and the people she creates them for. &ldquo;I wanted the space to feel warm, inspiring, and intimate. A blend of minimalist elegance and comfort&mdash;where clients see the beauty in the designs and also feel relaxed and at home. The atmosphere mirrors the essence of my pieces: refined, personal, and full of character.&rdquo; Maria notes. &ldquo;Whether they&rsquo;re here for a fitting or just browsing, I want each person to feel like the space and the designs were made with them in mind.&rdquo; the designer adds.

The new atelier elegantly displays beautiful pieces from her collections&mdash;from dramatic statement sets to graceful full-length gowns&mdash;carefully curated for clients to browse and try on. Here, you&rsquo;ll also find The Signature Edit&mdash;a capsule collection that thoughtfully translates Maria&rsquo;s couture sensibilities into an everyday wear format.&nbsp;
This collection marks the beginning of her vision for ready-to-wear, as she sets out to make her signature style more accessible through versatile pieces designed to move with you seamlessly from day to night. &ldquo;The RTW line is for those who love the craftsmanship of custom pieces but are looking for something they can wear more frequently. It&rsquo;s an extension of my creativity, offered in a more versatile and mindful way.&rdquo; Maria shares.&nbsp;
The Signature Edit is all about going back to the basics with a refined touch. Maria shares, &ldquo;In this collection, we strip away the excess and focus on the essentials, reimagining smart casual wear with clean lines, asymmetrical cuts, and elevated finishes.&rdquo; But even with the collection&rsquo;s ready-to-wear tag, the bespoke experience still remains at its core, as the collection is created through pre-orders and limited productions to welcome adjustments and customizations&mdash;ensuring the same attention to detail found in her couture work.&nbsp;
In an industry fueled by fleeting trends, Maria Gan chooses to move with intention through slow fashion. &ldquo;We're also conscious of our environmental footprint, which is why we work with natural fabrics, reduce overproduction, and champion mindful consumption.&rdquo; Maria expresses. &ldquo;We believe in designing and producing with purpose.&rdquo;
