Atelier and Sample Room functions remain the backbone of craft, quality and innovation within contemporary and luxury fashion. Seamstresses and sample machinists, embroiderers, pattern cutters and studio and atelier managers bring highly specialised construction knowledge that transforms creative vision into exceptional product.

These roles sit at the intersection of craftsmanship and modern production realities. Success in the atelier relies on technical excellence, precision and speed, alongside the ability to collaborate closely with design, product development and production teams. Increasingly, ateliers are expected to operate with agility, supporting rapid sampling cycles, complex developments and evolving material and sustainability requirements.

Strong atelier leadership ensures standards are upheld while workflows remain efficient and commercially viable. The most effective teams balance heritage techniques with modern processes, enabling brands to innovate while protecting quality, fit and finish. We support contemporary and luxury fashion brands, as well as a small number of specialist suppliers, with both freelance and permanent atelier talent who bring discipline, creativity and deep technical expertise to the heart of the product.
