No performance.
No rush.
No expectation to be anything other than yourself.
A considered experience that lingers long after the day has passed — one that gently draws you beyond the ordinary into something that cannot be dismissed as insignificant.
A couture garment created with intention. Light that honours rather than merely flatters. A setting chosen with care — whether the intimacy of familiar spaces or destinations of quiet luxury.
And in that moment, something within you settles.
A meaningful chapter does not require spectacle. It requires presence. Sometimes, the most powerful act is simply allowing yourself to be seen — deliberately. A Legacy Couture Portrait is created for that purpose: to mark a life chapter with clarity, restraint, and enduring significance.
If you are considering commissioning a Legacy Couture Portrait, I invite you to read the Couture & Fine Art Portraiture Commission Guide — a thoughtful introduction to the philosophy, process, and depth of the experience.
The Guide is available to subscribers of the Couture Concierge Privé.
HELLO, I'M OLIVIA TORMA
Based in Brisbane, Australia. Available internationally.
Authorship in Cloth and Light
I am a couturière and fine art portrait artist based in Brisbane, Australia, working with clients internationally.
The Vintage Couturière has evolved from an aspiring couture label into a new atelier + portraiture concept founded on a simple belief: some chapters of a woman’s life deserve to be preserved with intention. Not rushed. Not compromised. Not performed.
My work sits at the intersection of couture and portraiture — shaping fabric into form and moments into memory.
I work with women who understand the value of presence, memory and handcrafted couture — who wish to honour who they are becoming as much as who they have been.
I craft and guide a legacy couture portrait experience shaped around a client's story.
I take the time to understand who my client is in this chapter of their life, what this moment represents, and how they wish to be remembered.
From there, we create something beautiful - a couture garment and legacy couture portrait that honour them and their story with calm clarity and intention.
A limited number of private commissions are accepted each year.
If this resonates, I invite you to begin a conversation.
