“Fashion without fit is like icing without the cake.” - Elizabeth Oliveira
Elizabeth Oliveira, a Contemporary Modiste, is a rarity in the fashion world. Not only is she a superlative designer, she is also an expert seamstress. Trained in famed Porto Portugal before importing her European inspired design philosophy of “custom clothing” to Toronto in 2002 with “Labl Studio,” Oliveira expanded her one-of-a-kind service with “Style Lab” in 2010.
The success of Labl services is a result of the simple fact that industry standard sizes just don’t fit people. Clothing is cut for an imagined “average” or “ideal” client and often constructed without a nuanced understanding of the way in which it will be worn. Rarely will a customer be able to buy an off-the-rack item without needing adjustments made for their unique shape. So, whether a clothing item is custom made, or amended from your existing wardrobe, Labl is there to make your beloved items more beloved because they look good on you.
Labl Studio continues to provide “by-appointment only” specialized clothing services for the individual client: custom design and tailoring for women and men (seasonal, leisure, business, bridal, costume), closet consultation, wardrobe restoration & redesign, and professional event styling.
Labl Style Lab serves customers with short-term alteration needs by providing walk-in express custom tailoring, alterations, and fabric & textile repair expertise on-site at our Queen Street West location, nestled in Toronto’s Fashion District.
Welcome to your perfect fit!
