Your Experience
What to Expect
Every session is private, unhurried, and entirely focused on you.

No pressure. Take what speaks to you. Leave knowing the piece was designed with intention - and that no one else will have it.
The Designer
Shernett Swaby
Shernett designs for women who lead demanding lives - women whose calendars are full and whose standards are high. Her pieces are built for real moments: the board meeting, the gala, the dinner where you need to feel like yourself at your best.
Every SWABY piece begins with her vision - an understanding of fit, proportion, and what makes a woman feel powerful in what she wears. The collection isn't trend-driven; it's designed with intention, produced in limited quantities, and made to last.
"I design pieces I believe in. When you come to the studio, you're not hiring me to dress you - you're seeing my work and deciding if it belongs in your life."
A session with Shernett is an opportunity to experience her collection directly, to understand how each piece was designed, and to find what works for you - your body, your calendar, your way of moving through the world.
Every Session Includes
What You'll Receive
Direct Access to the Designer

A Curated Selection

The Designer's Perspective on Fit
Honest guidance from someone who understands how each piece was designed to move and drape.
True Limited-Run Exclusivity
Most designs are produced in quantities of 10 or fewer. This is genuine distinction.
First Access to New Designs

Customization at No Extra Cost
Adjust sleeve length, hem, neckline, add a pocket - Shernett will modify any piece to fit your body and preferences.
Lifetime Alterations
Every SWABY piece includes lifetime alterations. Your fit is guaranteed - forever.
Zero Pressure
This is your time to experience the collection. Take what resonates - or nothing at all.
From Our Clients
Women Who've Experienced the Collection
Shernett understood exactly what I needed for my Q4 board calendar. Three pieces, done. No wasted time, no second-guessing - just a designer who knows her work and knows what works.
Managing Partner
I came in overwhelmed with a gala three days away. I left with a piece that felt like it was made for me - because, in a way, it was. The sleeve adjustment made all the difference.
Nonprofit Executive
This isn't shopping. It's sitting with the designer and seeing her collection. You understand why each piece exists. That changes how you think about what you're wearing.
