From entertaining clients from the comfort of her own home, the young fashion designer took a leap of faith to build her atelier, an inspiring space that welcomes creativity, connection, and collaboration. </p><p>“Opening the atelier is more than just a career milestone; it’s a deeply personal one. It’s a space built with so much love, intention, and courage—not only for myself, but for all the brides who’ve trusted us to be part of one of the most meaningful moments of their lives. This is for them, too,” Maria says.</p><p>The window display, a sexy and classy wedding gown, encapsulates what Maria would like to be known for: designs that feature minimalist lacework, polished hemlines, and are embellished to perfection. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756419572472maria gan quezon city atelier 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756419654649maria gan quezon city atelier 4.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756419691431maria gan quezon city atelier 5.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Beyond being a beautiful space, the atelier was designed to be a home for meaningful moments as brides and fashionistas alike try on their dream dresses and gowns. The interior&#x27;s hues are subdued in white, cream, and beige, which make for a stunning backdrop for camera-worthy moments, such as the much-awaited fittings with the entourage. The draped fitting space itself is dramatic, with floor-to-ceiling curtains. A spacious lounge area is perfect for the bride&#x27;s family and friends waiting to celebrate with her as she emerges wearing her bridal ensemble. </p><p>Maria shares, “The moment a client walks into our atelier, I want them to feel at ease, inspired, and seen. It’s more than just a fitting space. It’s a place where dreams start to take shape. The energy is calm yet creative, and our goal is to make every bride feel celebrated and understood from the very beginning.”</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756420166930maria gan quezon city atelier 7.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756420229671maria gan quezon city atelier 6.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Along with this new milestone, Maria unveiled her first ready-to-wear collection, “<strong>The Signature Edit</strong>.” This array of wearable fashion statements ventures away from the tailored couture pieces for which she has been known throughout her career. With cuts meticulously streamlined and designed for comfort, it’s a perfect choice for our daily errands. Moreover, this collection focuses on the essentials by reimagining casual wear on asymmetrical cuts and elevated finishes. It&#x27;s a more relaxed form of Maria’s thoughtful design expertise, exuding quiet confidence, yet it offers a versatility from day’s silent hustles. </p><p>Maria’s knowledge of the creative process presents an edge, inviting brides-to-be and women in general to collaborate with her on customized pieces, whether through color or preferred trims. She warmly welcomes personal preferences as they enter her atelier, offering ideas that sophisticatedly marry a wearer&#x27;s personality with her signature style. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756420450629DSCF6897.JPG" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756420481489DSCF6949.JPG" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756420517809DSCF6958.JPG" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Maria Gan has a rich background in both fashion and international studies, an immersive educational foundation that has nourished her innovative vision in her current profession. She began her formal training in fashion at the SoFa Design Institute.</p><p>Today, Maria is recognized by brides and engaged couples for her soft approach to wedding attire. And with her “The Signature Edit” collection, her designs extended into creations with modern sophistication, bringing delicate patterns and silhouettes not only to bridalwear but also to special occasion-appropriate ensembles for the stylish Manila set.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Browse through the gallery below for more of Maria Gan&#x27;s designs:</strong></div><div>[[PHOTO ALBUM]]</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Photos courtesy of <strong>Maria Gan</strong></p>
