Based in the Chicagoland area, Alyce is a highly respected and much loved family-owned manufacturer and marketer of prom, evening, pageant, and bridal gowns. Alyce Hamm, a native of Alsace-Lorraine, France, opened Alyce Designs in 1967 with her brother Jean-Paul Hamm, the company's President and CEO. In 1955, Alyce emigrated to the United States from France, where she trained in Parisian couture and costume design at the prestigious Paris Ecole de Couture. It was her dream that the company become internationally successful; within a short time, her designs were worn by women worldwide. Alyce is still remembered for the dignity, elegance and integrity she brought to the industry for over 30 years. The baton has passed to her nieces, Claudine Hamm, Chief Operating Officer, Creative Director and Principal Designer, and Nathalie Lambert, Senior Designer.
OUR MISSION Alyce's mission is to design and market consistently innovative and fresh styles in evening wear that inspire and endow a unique look and personal feel for girls and women experiencing such momentous occasions as the milestone rites of passage of prom, marriage, graduation and other special life events. To that end, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of design, construction, and production. We value our heritage and the vision of Alyce Hamm, our founder. We strive to reflect in our fashions the renowned French aesthetic and European sense of beauty for which she stood. Alyce also portrays the hospitality and warmth in our company culture that Alyce herself instilled during her many years of leadership. |
