đ Details, the core of outstanding creations…
The details are essential in our business. Curves, symmetries, color shades, proportions… We spend hours studying and comparing patterns, shapes, in order to identify, analyse and understand the smallest element of each design.
The prestigious creations of the great fashion houses, like the ones we saw at the last FW, are an infinite blend of all these small details on which we are regularly brought to work.
The leading names in design call on us for our meticulous expertise in which every detail counts, just as they call on an embroidery workshop or a feather worker highly skilled .
