CONSULTATIONS

Consultations at the House of Deola are held to ensure that the design team gets all necessary details from the client and guide the client towards choosing a befitting design and colour for the client. In the case where a new design is to be created for the client, the consultation helps the design to properly understand the wants and needs of the client. This will help the designer to translate these wants and needs into custom designs and outfits for the client.

Consultations are usually between the client and the design team. Clients should refrain from bringing more than one person as company to a consultation.

In a situation where the client is a couple and wish to wear matching outfits, they are advised to come together for the consultation.
