My creations are carefully crafted, hand-embroidered one-of-a-kind pieces, inspired by all kinds of eras and styles. What unites them is a love of detail and the courage to embrace colour and extravagance – in a social climate that keeps growing greyer, browner and more monotonous, expressive fashion means to me the courage to be diverse and an act of protest against the disenchantment of our world.
My pieces are meant to encourage breaking free from gender norms, and they are made for everyone who likes a little sparkle. Go on, dare ;-)
Yes — the Cabaret Collection at the top of this page shows pieces that are available; anything marked “Sold” has already found a new home. Write to Ley if something catches your eye — some pieces can also be remade in your size.
Every piece is designed, sewn, embroidered and finished with rhinestones in Ley's Berlin studio. The corsets and shoulder pieces are built on a special high-quality corset mesh that looks sheer and delicate while staying highly stable. The harnesses are made of genuine leather.
Yes, commissions are possible — for stage, walking act or photo production. Tell Ley your idea, your deadline and your budget, and they will tell you what is realistic.
