Season after season, Stratton’s design ethos demonstrates how forward yet timeless creations of graceful, structured pieces can become progressive, modern classics. He produces his luxurious made-to-measure clothing line and handbags in the United States. Superior both in design and fit compared to ordinary ready-to-wear, each made-to-measure garment is constructed to fit the client individually. After her measurements are taken, they are then paired with an existing base pattern of equivalent size and altered to create a new pattern from which to construct her custom garment; the result is a well-fitted product, created in the client's chosen textiles. The usual time frame for made-to-measure clothing is approximately three weeks.

Following his first collection’s sale to Barneys, Stratton worked for the international house of Carolina Herrera before landing a two-year stint at Albert Nipon as head design assistant. When the company folded, Stratton decided to once again venture out on his own. His Fall 1992 line of chic day dresses, in sumptuous wools and silks, earned him an article in WWD as a promising young talent. Henri Bendel and a few specialty boutiques carried the line. He then began generating a number of private clients who were seeking one-of-a-kind designs.

In 1998, Stratton was hired by Mary McFadden Suits to revamp their fall collection and to design their Spring 1999 line. He followed this experience with his first runway show at Boylan Studios during the Spring 1999 collections. The following season, in April 1999, Stratton was invited to participate in the South of Seventh shows, a venue for new talent, where he showed his Fall collection. Henri Bendel and several boutiques carried this well-received line. Stratton’s Fall 2001 collection received much positive attention and earned him another piece in WWD.

In October 2003, Stratton was invited to join the Soho concept shop 30 Vandam, a cooperative venue for designers to present and sell their collections each season with complete creative freedom. His seasonal collections at 30 Vandam have garnered attention in W, WWD, Paper, and The New York Times. He also appeared as the subject of an article about style and design in the Sunday edition of The New York Post. In 2008, he joined the faculty of FIT as a counselor to design students in their Career & Internship Center. Stratton continues to produce small seasonal collections and has a number of private clients, including a few high-profile names, for whom he regularly designs.
