Our Couturier Heritage

Inspired by pieces left as family heirlooms to Stacey Gallello, the house unpicks the fond memories he wove into the seams of his
garments, and entwines them into the modern day. Dominic Gallello was couturier pattern cutter to Monsieur Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. The Atelier is committed to preserving the integrity of traditional craft by practicing his techniques today.

The Atelier

The Atelier is based between Venice and Milan, specialising in couture tailoring and safeguarding the craft of traditional atelier artisans. Every element is executed by hand — from artisanal tailoring to embroidery, beadwork and corsetry, with traditional boning techniques, never machine-led construction.
