Growing up in Peru in a affluent family our social life was extremely active and if you have visited South America women there are really well out together. I guess this is due to the large European influence in certain sectors. However, looking the part took a lot of work. Our family had a seamstress that would make our especial occasion clothes. So most of our wardrobe was bespoke. We had no acc

ess to fashion what so ever, even fabrics were hard to come by. So I learned to design my clothes since and early age. Later on while studying for my Master's degree I worked as a runway model for 6 years. This is what catapulted my decision to become a designer when I was faced with the decision to stay in California and get married or go to Washington to pursue my PHD. So I chose love and fashion. I enrolled for 3 more years in FIDM to pursue a degree in Fashion Design and finished my studies in Paris. There I was taken under the wings of an amazing couturier who had a boutique 2 doors down from Chanel in Rue Cambon. From there I worked with a knitwear company in Peru and later I started my own brand. In 2007 I decided to start my dress line called Jessica Barkley. Since then I have been creating dresses for the most demanding clientele in the OC and LA. I have a real passion for my clients and what I do. My duties go beyond creating the dresses for my clients I help them style the whole look more often than not. It is really extremely rewarding when my clients see me and mentioned how many compliments they got when they wore dress I made for them. That really is my reward.

Custom made is true luxury. When a piece of clothing is made expressively for you, your silhouette, your preferences, your style, etc. There is no more exclusive than bespoke. N’est ce pas?

What is Bespoke?
Bespoke is the process of making a custom garment. From design to final piece the process is tailored exclusively to the client's desires and needs. Therefore it takes a very special kind of designer who can put their own vision in a perfect match to the client's vision. Also the process requires time and willingness to keep an open mind. Having a designer's guidance in the custom process is invaluable as only a designer will be prepared to make decisions about which fabrics that best suit the design as well as how to work with it. We usually go through 3 to 4 fittings sometimes if we are creating from 0 or adjusting designs to new ones. No matter how similar the design might be to something already made, it is very important to keep in mind that some changes can affect the overall fit. It is good to know about this before going into the process. That is why an experienced an honest designer is key. If you have been looking for that perfect dress that would fit you like a glove and also be in the right fabric and color for you and for you alone then the Bespoke process might be just what you are looking for.

The making of a beautiful dress. Sometimes we just let the fabric tell us what it wants to do. As a designer is important to "listen" to the fabric. This is beautiful embroidered tulle I got for one of my private clients. It just drapes on the body like a charm!
