CONG TRI STUDIO
The artisans in CONG TRI’s ateliers interpret the designer’s wishes, understanding his ambitions and what he wants to achieve. They recognise the subtleties of his art and express them. Haute Couture is divided into two ateliers: tailoring (working with the shape and structure of jackets, trousers, and coats) and fine soft dressmaking (creating light and supple silhouettes for fluid dresses and evanescent petticoats). The functions and processes of both ateliers are the same.
