- [The Day I Met Vivienne Westwood, and What it Taught Me](https://jocelynbanksdesigner.co.uk/the-day-i-met-vivienne-westwood-and-what-it-taught-me/): People often ask me where my obsession with the ‘perfect fit’ comes from. While 35 years in the industry teaches you a lot, one particular afternoon in 1991 stands out as a defining moment. At the time, I was the Head Designer for a specialist denim manufacturer. We received a call that changed everything: Vivienne Westwood’s office. They were looking for a technical partner to help realise the vision for her very first menswear collection, the now iconic ‘Cut and Slash’.
- [The Couture Compendium: A Guide to the Ingredients](https://jocelynbanksdesigner.co.uk/the-couture-compendium-a-guide-to-the-ingredients/): When we work together, you will hear me speak about specific materials and techniques. These aren't just industry terms; they are the premium ingredients that make your gown a masterpiece.
- [What is Couture: A Love Story Told Through Fabric, Hands and Time](https://jocelynbanksdesigner.co.uk/what-is-couture-a-love-story-told-through-fabric-hands-and-time/): To many, the word 'couture' evokes images of runways and untouchable glamour. But as a designer, I believe couture is something far more intimate. To me, it is a lot like baking the most exquisite cake. It requires the finest ingredients, techniques perfected over a lifetime and then that essential sprinkling of fairy dust.
- [Behind the Seams: The Making of a Couture Dream](https://jocelynbanksdesigner.co.uk/behind-the-seams-the-making-of-a-couture-dream/): Every couture wedding dress begins with a spark of inspiration. I listen to my bride as she shares her dreams with me: her story, her hopes, her vision. She might want boho vibes or vintage elegance, a particular silhouette, a style or simply a feeling. Each handmade gown is a reflection of a bride’s personality, and together we transform these ideas into a dress that is uniquely hers. Read on as I take you behind the seams of one such piece, from the first sketch to the final creation.
