Dear community, I hope you all made it back home safely and that travel went smoothly. NY is quite a hectic place and NYers are quite intense as well! Shopping for a season with so many shows and options must be quite a challenge. Seeing you all and listening to your choices was very important and educational. Thank you so much for coming to work with us at Studio Atelier NYC! Working in a show with no walls separating booths made the difference for me. Designers and buyers feel free to share buying information and walking through the show is easy and not intimidating. To us vendors, as well as buyers. Wishing you all a very healthy and strong season....
Azzedine Alaia trained as a young man, as a sculptor yet his medium was not clay or stone but cloth. One saw the sculptor in the way he adapted fabrics to women's bodies. The subtle curve of peplum; the gentle sway of a translucent skirt - one forgot clothes could be so beautiful. No gimmicks, no vulgarity, no instagrammable moments. He was the undeniable King of superb clothes, superbly made to flatter & enhance the women he loved. There was nobody like him & nobody with his distinct understanding of cut & proportions. From the early days of his career, Azzedine celebrated women's natural assets, rather than suppressed them. Here is a broad-shouldered leather jacket miraculously worked into a complex...
When I first started this business, the term "Road Rep" was just a phrase that meant to me that my sales people sometimes travel to see our customers. I did not fully understand what it meant. The amount of effort it takes to take one showroom on the road is astounding but also, a privilege to the buyers and stores given this service. This month as the season starts again, I want to highlight this fact and introduce each of the members of our sales team who goes on the road and their stories. I get car sick in a car and cranky and lonely and even a bit depressed when I am away from home for just a few...
It’s January 1st again.
This year, more then previous years, I feel that there is no time to waste .
Insisting that you, my dear colleagues, as well as myself live fully and more real.
From the heart!
To notice, to see what’s in front of me, to pay more attention to my feelings and not to my thoughts and to my stories, to pause more, not to react immediately.
To stay calm so my reaction later will be balanced, fair and not harmful.
We had too many reactions during 2017.
Let’s try something different.
Starting today. Now.
Love to all of you,
Yael
More than ever, the inter-relationship between Fashion & Art is within designer's daily work. More & more designers are getting direct inspiration from the Art world & thus build up an identity for their brand. From Japanese classic Florals to Jackson Pollock, Rothko, Mondrian, Yayoi Kusama & Vasarely - all varieties exist in complete harmony. Alembika & Japanese Florals Alembika & Japanese Florals Grizas & Jackson Pollock Grizas & Jackson Pollock Alembika & Rothko Kedziorek & Mondrian Alembika & Yayoi Kusama Kedziorek & Vasarely Fashion infiltrated the Museums.
