My name is Erica Kochi and I'm starting a bespoke couture brand.

Right now I'm making outfits for my friends for special occasions, such as a book launch on CBS News or their appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

I'm making these clothes in my backyard cottage in Berkeley, CA, and I'm in the process of figuring out how to scale this up.
