A great fit and exquisite quality, are the two factors that she emphasize on when she makes   design decisions. “We also incorporate unexpected functional detailing at some of the designs” said Ardistia explaining how she is different from other designers.

Mostly she uses silk, crepe, and stretch techno. Mixing natural fibers with a pinch of synthetic and stretch fabrics. Natural fibers are comfortable and more user-friendly, while synthetic fabrics doesn’t wrinkle easily and it is long-lasting, thus, the two combination works.
