Très Bien Utilizes Tailoring Techniques and Sportswear Silhouettes for FW21 ATELJÉ Collection

Très Bien has returned to its ATELJÉ concept for the third installment of the line. As with previous ATELJÉ collections, the new release looks at the meeting point of sportswear and tailoring, with sportswear-influenced silhouettes and items constructed using techniques more often associated with tailoring.

The ATELJÉ line takes its name from the Swedish word for atelier, and all pattern development, fittings and sampling takes place in house in Très Bien’s Malmö headquarters. The garments are then produced at small family-run factories in Italy that have been carefully sourced by the Très Bien team.

This season has a particular focus on pleats and folds, with the collection incorporating outerwear, suiting, shirting, knitwear and accessories. Launching the collection, Très Bien creative director said:

“We always start with a fit rather than a trend, and most often the shirt is the game jersey for ATELJÉ just because of how it allows us to try new things but also has a fairly strict framework. The boxy and oversized shapes from vintage sports are an obvious reference, and we add contemporary details to make them current and personal. We work closely with small family owned Italian factories. They are connoisseurs in classic sprezzatura but we have managed to move them a little out of their comfort zone. The result is good design with superior attention to detail and extremely well executed craftsmanship.”

The latest ATELJÉ collection is available from the Très Bien web store and its physical locations in Malmö and London.
