In a charming Parisian atelier where historic corsets, stage silhouettes and Haute Couture prototypes meet, Atelier Caraco has been cultivating a rare savoir-faire for almost forty years, on the frontier between runway shows and the performing arts. Theater, opera, ballet, cinema, batches, museums or store windows: here, the garment is a living construction, designed for a body, a role, a movement.

In mid-February, Les Ateliers de Paris launched a new call for projects to select fifteen fashion, design and arts and crafts incubators.

In the heart of Épernay, the emblematic city of Champagne, lies another jewel of French heritage: the Chantelle workshop. For over sixty years, it has embodied the excellence of corsetry, supported by the group's fine mastery of materials, gestures and product development. As Chantelle approaches its 150th anniversary, the atelier is a place where technical heritage is turned to production versatility.

In this workshop, home to textile activities since the XIXᵉ century, feathers are worked like a lively, rare and demanding material. Now a place of design, the Marcy Feather Worker workshop perpetuates an exceptional art profession, at the crossroads of Haute Couture, performing arts and craftsmanship of excellence.

While the other two establishments of the former La Fabrique have closed, the École Supérieure de l'Industrie du Vêtement (ESIV) is as lively as ever, still popular with companies and students alike, and with new courses!
