About
A New Kind of Luxury
FERN was founded during the pandemic by Allison "Fern" Clausius — a couture-trained maker with a BFA in Intimate Apparel from the Fashion Institute of Technology and experience at Saks Fifth Avenue and Kiki de Montparnasse.
What began as a personal mission to bridge couture craft with inclusive design has grown into a maison that dresses some of the world's most discerning clients — from Jared Leto to Joan Smalls — while remaining true to its founding principle: luxury should be for everyone.
Every FERN piece is handmade in our New York atelier using French couture techniques. We work with silk charmeuse, French lace, and deadstock fabrics. Our corsetry features steel boning and hand-finished construction. Nothing is mass-produced.
Gender Inclusive
Lingerie and eveningwear designed for all bodies. We use inclusive sizing and offer custom measurements for every client who walks through our door.
Couture Craft
French couture techniques applied with New York energy. Hand-finishing, 39-measurement fittings, and construction methods that honor the tradition while pushing it forward.
Sustainable
Small-batch production, deadstock and remnant fabrics through our FABSCRAP partnership, and local NYC manufacturing. We make pieces to last — heirloom, not disposable.
