Craft above all
If it cannot be made well, it does not get made. The cut and the finish come before everything else.
The house story
From a single atelier in the Marais.
Atelier Mode opened in 2009 in a two-room studio on the Rue des Archives, with a single pattern table, a half-finished toile, and a conviction that Paris still had room for a house that valued craft over noise.
What began as a made-to-measure practice for a handful of private clients grew, season by season, into a full design house. Today we show two ready-to-wear and two couture collections a year, dress clients across four continents, and keep every stage of design and construction under one roof.
We have stayed deliberately small. The house takes on only the work it can finish by hand, because the alternative — growth at the expense of the cut — has never interested us.
The creative director
Camille Aurèle Devereux.
Trained on the Chambre Syndicale benches and seasoned through a decade in the ateliers of two grand Paris houses, Camille founded Atelier Mode to design clothes the way she had been taught to build them — from the inside out.
Her work is defined by restraint: a refusal to add a seam, a button, or a flourish that the silhouette does not require. “A garment should be quiet,” she says, “so the woman wearing it can be heard.”
She remains hands-on with every collection, draping the first toile of each look herself before it passes to the atelier.
What we hold to
The values behind the label.
Five principles that govern every decision, from the first sketch to the final pressing.
Considered restraint
We earn a detail before we add it. Nothing on a garment is there by accident.
Cloth with conscience
Certified mills, natural fibres, and deadstock — we choose materials we can stand behind.
Made to last
Our pieces are built to be worn, repaired, and handed on — the opposite of the seasonal churn.
The client’s body
Every fitting begins and ends with how the garment lives on a real person in motion.
A house, not a factory
We protect the scale that lets us know every artisan and every client by name.
