Atelier Lognon

Atelier Lognon is a Paris haute couture pleating workshop whose history goes back to Émilie Lognon, a linen maker in the era of Napoleon III; it is usually dated to 1853. Her great-grandson Gérard Lognon took over in 1945. Pleats are made by folding fabric into hand-cut cardboard moulds and setting them with heat, and the atelier keeps more than 3,000 patterns. It joined Chanel's Métiers d'art in 2013 and works at le19M in Paris.
