The Collector's Archive - Agathe Derieux

-

The Atelier presents your personal archive — a private record of your collection with the House.

The Collector’s Archive holds your commissions, patterns, and silhouettes, developed uniquely for you and composed in continuity over time.

Each piece is crafted using inherited couture techniques and becomes part of your evolving collection.

A note from Stacey:

Agathe, it was a pleasure to meet you and explore how we can compose your wardrobe through jackets that complement your existing collection- to make it effortless to dress and to be worn across day and evening.

I have reviewed a further selection of colours for you, and thought of introducing a contrast lining to bring depth when the jacket is worn open or draped — for example, dusty rose wool crepe with a burgundy satin lining.

I look forward to seeing you again.

You may commission a piece in Standard Sizing or through the Couture Service (Made-to-Measure).

-

Standard Sizing
Your piece is tailored to the closest fit, informed by your measurements and realised in the House materials.

Couture Service (Made-to-Measure)
A custom pattern is developed to your proportions and refined through a series of fittings.

You may select from the House materials, colours, and linings to shape the piece to your preference.

Further bespoke elements — including custom-dyed colours beyond the House selection or modifications to the silhouette — may be considered as part of a bespoke commission.

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 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.
