The atelier at MYA ROYAL functions as a space of inquiry, making, and refinement.

Work is developed through direct engagement with materials and form, allowing process to guide outcome. Time, repetition, and adjustment are integral to the practice, shaping garments through attention rather than acceleration.

The atelier prioritizes material intelligence, proportion, and restraint—approaching dressmaking as a dialogue between body, structure, and movement.

PRACTICE

The work unfolds through an iterative process that values exploration and revision.

Ideas are tested through sketching, pattern development, and physical construction. Materials are handled, adjusted, and reconsidered as forms emerge, with decisions made in response to behavior rather than prescription.

This approach supports continuity between concept and execution, allowing garments to evolve through use, refinement, and time.

MATERIALS & FORM

Materials are selected for their capacity to respond—to light, to motion, and to wear.

Form is shaped through balance rather than excess, with attention to how garments occupy space and interact with the body. The resulting work emphasizes presence, clarity, and longevity.

CONTINUITY

The atelier sustains both bespoke couture commissions and related explorations in form and material.

These parallel practices inform one another, maintaining a shared language across the body of work without collapsing distinctions between commission and inquiry.

The atelier also gives rise to iñi, a separate lifestyle studio dedicated to functional and wearable objects designed for everyday life.
