The language

The atelier's vocabulary

La toile
The garment's first draft, cut in plain cotton: where a couture piece learns its shape.
La première
The head of the atelier: the hands that translate a sketch into a construction.
Le bâti
Temporary basting stitches, placed by hand and removed once the piece holds its line.
La mousseline
The lightest of silks, and the most demanding: it forgives nothing.
The archive
Pieces of significance, rested and conserved: a wardrobe's memory.
The rotation
The seasonal movement of the wardrobe: what advances, what rests.

A word

On discretion

No client is ever named. No wardrobe is ever photographed for publication. References are shared verbally, and only with consent. This discretion is not a limitation of our references: it is the first of them.

Every enquiry is handled personally, and in confidence.
