About Lordana
Our Vision
Lordana is more than a fashion house — it is a sanctuary of haute couture and technical mastery, where fashion is more than fabric, it's a lifelong relationship. Alongside signature bespoke bridal and evening gowns, Lordana offers custom couture creations, resort ready-to-wear, made-to-order and curated pieces that inspire women to express their unique style with confidence and grace.
Through this space, Guerda continues four decades of artistry — from the high-pressure runways of New York and South Florida to her serene studios in Miami and Punta Cana — creating designs that celebrate strength, elegance, and self-love in every woman who wears them.
Our Heritage
The foundation of Lordana was laid long before the first stitch was sewn. It began with the wisdom passed down by Guerda's grandmother, Madeleine, and her mother, Altagrace — who taught that a woman of substance clothes herself in strength and honor. That philosophy still guides every bespoke gown and custom creation made today.
What began as a spark in New York in 1976 — inspired by a high school sewing project by Guerda's late sister, Michelle — grew into a lifetime of academic and professional devotion. Lordana stands on a "Golden Thread" of resilience, education, and joy.
Meet the Founder
Guerda Pierre is a fashion designer, educator, and mentor with over 40 years of experience in fashion design and instruction. Her journey took her from teaching fashion design to building Lordana — a space where elegance, creativity, and mentorship come together.
She is the designer behind Lordana (www.lordana.com), creating exclusive haute couture, bespoke bridal gowns, and resort wear crafted with elevated artistry and refined craftsmanship. She is also the founder of the Lordana Fashion Academy, where she mentors and trains the next generation of designers — teaching not just how to sew, but the "Whole 9 Yards" of design.
