Part sculptor, architect and painter, nationally-renowned couturière Colleen Quen’s designs are made of fantastical dreams. Inspired by nature’s motifs, Impressionist art and modern architecture, Quen passionately creates gowns that are glamorous, feminine and dramatically chic.Practicing authentic, centuries-old French couture techniques, Quen can create anything one’s heart desires - her talent is as broad as one’s imagination. Think spectacular full ball skirts in duchesse silk satins or creamy chiffons. Think romantic bias-cut sheaths in gauzy, flowy silks. Each dress uniquely divine, Quen’s artisan skills shine through with carefully-chosen fabrics. With the precision of an engineer, she expertly calculates a “body print” for each client, ensuring absolute perfection in each piece.

For this very reason, her enviable clientele flourishes exponentially with each performing arts season.
With an overflowing abundance of media coverage in recent years, Quen’s star has quickly soared to magnificent heights. International fashion and film celebrities such as Tyra Banks, Paris Hilton and Bai Ling have been gracefully adorned with Quen’s masterpieces. Featured in InStyle, Town & Country, WWD and Modern Bride, her sophisticated approach has also led to numerous commissions by the famed Alonzo King’s Lines Ballet Company...
