From Sketch to Stitch: Inside BUJII’s Design Process

Every BUJII piece begins as a vision — a spark of creativity that takes shape through texture, movement, and detail. Founder and designer Lisa Larian has always believed that fashion is an art form meant to be felt, not just seen. The journey from sketch to finished garment is a reflection of that philosophy, blending imagination with precision every step of the way.

The Vision

Each design starts in Lisa’s sketchbook, where ideas come to life through pencil, fabric swatches, and instinct. Inspiration can come from anywhere — the curve of architecture, the flow of water, or the effortless beauty of the women around her. The goal is always the same: to create pieces that feel alive.

The Fabric Story

Once a design takes shape, the search for the perfect fabric begins. BUJII’s materials are sourced locally in Los Angeles, chosen for their tactile quality and ability to drape beautifully on the body. Texture plays a vital role in every decision — from airy chiffons and sculptural tulles to bold metallics and hand-beaded silks. Each fabric is tested not only for its look, but for how it moves, breathes, and feels against the skin.

Craftsmanship in Motion

Next comes the construction process, where artistry meets technique. BUJII’s small team of local artisans meticulously bring each design to life, hand-finishing every seam and embellishment. This stage is where Lisa’s signature details — like the adjustable suspender clips and architectural draping — are carefully integrated, transforming a concept into a statement. Every stitch is deliberate. Every detail is intentional.

The Fit and the Finish

No BUJII piece leaves the studio without passing Lisa’s meticulous eye. Each garment is fitted, refined, and adjusted to ensure movement, comfort, and structure are perfectly balanced. It’s a process of patience and passion — one that honors the craftsmanship behind slow fashion and celebrates the individuality of the women who wear it.

The Final Touch

From that first sketch to the final stitch, BUJII’s process is rooted in artistry, authenticity, and emotion. Every collection tells a story — of creativity, of evolution, and of the beauty that comes from taking time to create something meaningful.
