Inside Stills

A place of concentration and collaboration, the in-house atelier in Amsterdam is the softly beating heart of Stills. Here our creative visions for the season unfold and are subsequently formed, one detail at the time.

At Stills we seek sophistication through novel combinations and delicate contrasts. In fits, in styles, in looks, in feels. It begins with the materials we choose. The softness, the roughness, the shine, the weave. We work them, treat them, combine them. And thus, with every material, a new potential arises.

Our longlasting team of artisan patternmakers, seamstresses and embroidery specialists are crucial participants in our design process. Their keen eyes and expert hands are vital in establishing the subtleties and nuances that make up Stills. Everyone partakes, everyone adds, everything matters. We listen, we talk, we look, we try, we try something different, we make. Together. And then we get to this certain point. When the materials have manifested themselves into new forms and we all know we are done. Nothing more to add, nothing more to reduce. This is how it is.
