Where do the fabrics come from?

I still hunt materials from the stocks of big houses. I have always fully embraced the idea of making limited editions and selling to my clients, clothes that they will not find on everyone. We also work a lot with monitored materials to avoid creating frustrations on best-sellers.

Why did you choose the online sales?

Making in Paris, with quality materials, is very expensive. But without intermediaries and without a physical shop, we control our costs as much as possible and this allows us to offer our creations at fair prices. We do not make sales and we only sell directly to our customers on our website.

Your difference?

We are a real e-maison de couture ! Our customers often write to us to let us know how happy they are receiving a piece of such quality. A garment passed through the hands of a seamstress does not have the same touch as a garment that comes out of a factory. It’s a different feeling, you can feel the work of the hand.

The style of the house?

Very feminine, always chic and timeless. I like the idea that a woman feels beautiful in my clothes and that each piece coming out of our workshops accompanies her in time and gives her self-confidence.

How does the idea of a creation come to you?

Each piece I create is a piece I want to wear. The spirit of the collections closely follows my style and my personal evolution. I am inspired by everything I see every day, I keep everything that catches my eye. And to organize my ideas, I walk a lot. In the Luxembourg garden for example or on the banks of the Seine. The beauty of Paris is simply inspiring.

Why did “L’Atelier de Camille” become “Atelier Camille”?

This is a small and natural evolution of my company. In 2011, I was working alone and from home. Today I have a team behind me and even if we remain a small human and artisanal brand, the little workshop has become a brand. Atelier Camille suits us better now.

Your motto?

“Choose a job you love and you won’t have to work a single day of your life,” by Confucius.

Your favorite color?

I have two: black and white, sometimes together, often separately. It’s chic and timeless, everything I love.

Paris and you?

It’s forever! I was born in Paris, grew up there and only left for my studies. To love my city even more, I leave her every weekend to rediscover the calm and green of the countryside. This is essential for me and my little family. And I only ride by bike during the day, it makes everything easier.
