Straight answers before the brief

It depends on cloth lead times, fittings, and how clear the brief is. A single personalized garment and a full collection calendar are not the same length of thread. Dates are locked in writing after direction is agreed — not guessed from a homepage number.

If you already have a hard date (wedding, season, trip), put it in the first note. That is how we know whether the work is realistic.

The first conversation can start by email from anywhere. Fittings for made pieces are strongest in person at the atelier in Bollullos Par del Condado; sourcing and collection direction can move with clear photos, measurements, and written decisions.

How each stage is held is written on Studio.

Collection Development — a capsule or season that has to hold together.

Personalized Design & Sale — one piece designed, fitted, made, and sold for one wearer.

Luxury Sourcing — finding a piece that may already exist, with a written shortlist and clear reasons for what we set aside.

Those three names are the full list — open each service page for scope and pace, or see them together on All Services.

No. Collections is look direction — capsules and silhouette notes so a brief can start from something concrete. Ready-to-buy stock is not listed here. Building a full set is Collection Development.

Clothing and accessories — when the accessory belongs to the same piece or the same look. A belt, bag, or trim chosen against the cloth sits under Personalized Design & Sale; a hunt for an existing accessory sits under Luxury Sourcing.

As many as the line needs. Corrections happen on the body, not only on a drawing. For Personalized Design & Sale that is part of the offer; for a collection, development samples carry the same discipline before handover.

On a rail, the larger size and a tailor is often the honest answer. In a brief for a made piece, the pattern follows your numbers — not a chart compromise. Use the Size & Fit Guide for Spain / EU before you write; it will also flag when readings disagree.

Intent, occasion or wardrobe gap, rough timing, and any references you already keep. Measurements help when you have them. Photos of cloth or a garment you like are useful; three clear references beat a long mood board of near-misses.

The checklist on Studio is written for that first note.

No. We work by email so briefs and decisions stay written and easy to revisit. Write to orders@northstarmedia-sl.com.

In writing, after the path and scope are clear — before development spends money. Exact terms depend on the offer (make, search, or collection).
