Not only is he a brilliant fashion designer with an impeccable eye for detail, but he’s also become a dear friend whose warmth, generosity, and creativity inspire everyone around him. His ability to truly listen and translate vision into style is a rare gift. Every piece he designs feels deeply personal and beautifully crafted—effortlessly blending innovation with timeless elegance. Stephen brings heart, soul, and magic to everything he creates, and I feel lucky to know and work with him. Five stars aren’t enough! Jordan van der VyverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Stephen van Eeden for over five years, and I can say with absolute certainty: he doesn’t just design garments, he makes dreams come true. Whether it was my wedding dress made in under a week or jumpsuits for a special trip, every piece Stephen has created for me has been nothing short of extraordinary. His aesthetic is the epitome of timeless elegance- classic, curated, tailored. Every time I wear his creations, people are in awe. And so am I; not just of the design, but of how perfectly it fits, how beautifully it moves, and the quality of the feel. His work rivals the craftsmanship of the most iconic fashion houses. The atelier could sit comfortably on any luxury high street, and rightfully so. Stephen has an intuitive ability to design the perfect garment on the first go. Wearing a piece by Stephen van Eeden doesn’t just make you feel beautiful, it makes you feel like the best version of yourself. I’m so grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to work with him, it’s a true creative partnership and one I deeply treasure. Leandie du RandtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen and his team is just phenomenal and everything is made with so much skill and love. Beautiful garments that will make heads turn and you feel like your best self! Madel Du ToitTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you will never be enough to express how incredibly grateful & happy I was to have Stephen design and make my wedding dress. I always knew that I wanted him to be my wedding dress designer but Stephen and his team exceeded all of my expectations and created the most beautiful dress I have ever laid eyes on. Stephen also made "Getting ready gown" and designed my reception dress and each look was just perfect. The effort and time that went into perfecting every detail was clearly visible and I have the world of respect for him, as I also got to know him personally during this journey and he is just the best person to work with leading up to your special event. It was a dream to walk down the isle in a one of a kind Stephen van Eeden design and I would highly recommend Stephen and his team as he really is the best in the business. He made all of my wedding dress dreams come true! Liesl Laurie-MthombeniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best ever! I always feel like a queen in any dress Stephen creates for me. He has created a few custom dresses for me and we have never physically met. I send him my measurements, we brainstorm ideas and he sends me a perfect fitting dress - like magic! Thanks team! Colleen MurrayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen is a genius! What an honour it was to wear one of his creations. Thank you for your artistry Stephen, you are an inspiration! Jana MarnewickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I got married and it came to finding the perfect dress, I didn't have to look far. Stephen and I met at a coffee shop, he asked all the right questions and he nailed the sketch of the dress of my dreams (I didn't have one picture to show him as a reference of what I liked). If I could do it all over again I will choose him a million times over. He made the process effortless, made my dress so unique and made me feel like I could walk on the red carpet all day. Chantal BothaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having Stephen make my wedding dress was one of the best decisions I could have made. I came to him quite last minute and was torn between a few different directions. He was patient and professional throughout the process and I couldn’t have been happier with the end result! A 5 star experience with a 5 star team. Wanzel BoshoffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Most amazing service! I felt so special with the care they took to try and assist me with the best option for my occasion. Jané & Stephen, you are truly a blessing! zamie relateTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
