This multi-disciplinary atelier moulds fabrics and shapes materials with craftsmanship and virtuosity.
At the crossroads of the House’s savoir-faire, the Couture sewing atelier stands out for its ability to skilfully orchestrate all our activities.
It’s on the looms of our seamstresses and seamsters that flowers and feathers meet, ruffles and ribbons are inlaid, smocks and ruffles are created, ruching and quilting are sculpted.
Couture sewing is both a laboratory of textures and an art studio where the nimblest of fairy fingers work, employing techniques that are as ancestral as they are experimental. These expert gestures allow each collection or project to take shape, to create volume, bringing to life sophisticated relief effects according to the inspirations of the design studios.
