CMJ ATELIER

Craft at the heart of creation

At CMJ ATELIER, the garment, like the accessory, is considered a construction in its own right.

Everything starts with an idea, a silhouette, a material or a detail. Then come the study of volumes, the development of patterns, the making of prototypes and the adjustments needed to reach the intended result.

The workshop combines traditional sewing and pattern-making techniques with contemporary design tools, in an approach where experimentation accompanies the precision of the gesture.

This approach makes it possible to explore different expressions of clothing, from the classic wardrobe to more contemporary creations, without limiting itself to a particular style.

Making garments and accessories

CMJ ATELIER develops and makes garments and accessories with particular attention to the quality of manufacture and the coherence of each creation.

From the choice of materials to the last finishing touch, every step contributes to building a piece made to last.

The workshop favours considered production, notably through small series and made-to-order manufacture, so as to control the quantities produced and give each piece the time it needs.

This approach reflects a desire to value artisanal work, knowledge of materials and the precision of making techniques.

Semi-bespoke and bespoke

Because every silhouette and every project has its own particularities, CMJ ATELIER also offers semi-bespoke and bespoke services.

Semi-bespoke adapts an existing model to the client’s measurements and preferences, while keeping the essential characteristics of its design.

Bespoke offers a more personalised approach, in which a piece can be developed from a specific request, from the study of the project to its making.

Each request is preceded by a discussion to assess feasibility, materials, technical constraints and making times.

These services are offered on request only, subject to the workshop’s availability.

An approach between tradition and innovation

The work of CMJ ATELIER is part of a permanent exploration of clothing, its structure and its evolution.

Inspired notably by architecture, design and artisanal skills, the workshop explores the possibilities offered by materials, volumes and construction techniques.

Traditional methods meet contemporary tools there, not to replace the artisanal gesture, but to enrich the possibilities of creation.

Beyond manufacture, CMJ ATELIER stands for a certain vision of the craft: that of a skill that is cultivated, questioned and refined through each new piece.
