A house devoted to creation, transmission and the exploration of the garment through fashion patternmaking.

A house born of an encounter

Founded by Dominique PELLEN, designer, stylist-patternmaker and teacher, the house was born of an encounter between long experience of creation, the technical standards of high-end garments and a deep desire to pass knowledge on.

(02) - The Vision

Technique does not limit creation.

It gives it power.

At dp studio, we stand for a simple idea: mastering patternmaking should open creation up, not constrain it.
