DISCRIPTION

We are currently seeking an atelier intern. We create all of our designs in our atelier based in De Wasserij, the new Rotterdam based fashion hub. The atelier is a big open space, so you will see and experience the whole process. In our atelier the custom fit lingerie are created directly by Lidewij and our production team. We perform fittings, design and technical adjustments, pattern making and final garment creation.

Our PR and marketing team is creating and translating the concept into stories, making the campaign, lookbook, and collaborations. We arrange shoots, manage sales, press, and branding all under one roof.

The couture custom fit lingerie is handmade in our own atelier. We only use the best materials that we design ourselves or source personally. We are rapidly growing and have sound ethical values in sustainability, environmental issues, creating equal opportunities and a positive working environment.
