Ferdinand Atelier
Ferdinand Atelier is a couture bridal house in San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, at the foot of Vesuvius near Naples, where every gown is cut, embroidered and fitted by hand in the designer's own workroom.
Ferdinand Atelier
Ferdinando Borrelli, who works under the name Ferdinand, is a stylist, tailor and designer who says every creation is born in his own atelier. He trained at the State Institute of Art, began at eighteen in bridal make-up, then designed costumes for dancers and spent some twelve years making ball gowns before opening the atelier in 2010 for brides alone.
Everything is made by hand, by Ferdinand and a large team of seamstresses. The embroidery is rich and precious, worked stitch by stitch, and the clothes are proudly Made in Italy, worn by Italian and international clients alike.
“Stylist, tailor, designer, look maker.”
Ferdinand Concept
He dresses the whole bride, not the gown alone. Ferdinand advises on the ideal dress and the right accessories, and does the hair and make-up himself, so one hand finishes the look.
In Milan he received a couture award from Mario Boselli, honorary president of the Camera Nazionale della Moda, presented alongside Adriana di Lello of Elle Italia and Myra Postolache of Vogue Talent. In 2021 he was named best bridal designer at the Italian Wedding Awards.
Ferdinand has twelve collections, with Eva and I Love Marrakech at the front, followed by Magnetica, One Collection, Luxury Bridal, Bride Resort, New Bridal, Butterfly, Dynamic, The Harmony of Values, Flight and Vintage.
