The Elena Jacket
Couture Suit

Your tailor will craft the Elena Jacket with the traditional sartorial details of that time such as the notched collar and kimono sleeves.

Antonella Skirt
Couture Skirt
Virgin Wool Mohair | Piemonte, Italy | Soft Sweeping Pleats

The nipped-waist sits high and flows effortlessly into a voluminous profile. Its A-line silhouette is fitted with discreet pockets and adorned with an 18K gold-plated stud featuring the signet of the house - woven thread and white lilies as an homage to the Atelier’s family heritage.

Antonella Skirt

Future Commissions
Proposed pieces for future commission as you build your Atelier Wardrobe.
Bespoke
Create One-of-One
For those who wish to move beyond the existing wardrobe, the Atelier offers the opportunity to create a singular piece - conceived and crafted exclusively for you. Each commission begins in conversation with Stacey, where silhouette, proportion and purpose are carefully defined before sketches are drawn and toiles refined by hand.
-
This is not simply made-to-measure. It is one of one - developed from first line to final stitch within the discipline of Italian craft, and created to exist nowhere else but in your wardrobe.
Custom Bella & Giulia Noir
A sharply tailored short-sleeve Bella jacket, cinched with a slender belt, paired with the dramatic Giulia flared trouser in tonal embroidered noir. The line is elongated and architectural, the volume controlled through the hip before sweeping into a fluid hem. An evening commission grounded in restraint and power.
Custom Blouse &
Fiorella Skirt
A high-necked blouse in sheer Ivory Silk, softly gathered through the sleeve and cuff, worn with a sweeping Fiorella Skirt tied delicately at the waist. Lightness and movement define the composition - a study in transparency, drape and quiet romance.
Isabella Longline Coat &
Emi Dress
A tailored longline coat in blush rose, cut with structured lapels and a defined waist, worn open to reveal the refined line of the Emi dress beneath. The coat elongates the silhouette while maintaining softness through its gentle flare. Underneath, the Emi dress provides a clean, uninterrupted foundation - precise, feminine, and composed.
Valentina Jacket &
Gina Miniskirt
The Valentina Jacket, tailored with its rounded collar and precise single-breasted line, is reimagined in a custom blush rose. Paired with the Gina mini skirt, the silhouette balances structured refinement with youthful proportion.
Custom Couture Suit
A bespoke jacket merging the disciplined structure of Isabella with the softer curvature of Carolina, cut with precise waist definition and sculpted lapel line. Paired with the Alicia trouser, elongated through the hip and falling into a fluid wide leg, the silhouette creates uninterrupted verticality.

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.
