Last week, our office had a session with an organizational psychologist. We talked about office life and how it mirrors our family lives and how we each bring our roles from home into the office. For example, how many siblings we each have. Are we the oldest, youngest, middle child? How does this affect us and how do we carry these roles into the workplace every day? I have one sister. I am the little sister, the "baby". The one not asked to do much growing up and the less "responsible " one. It took me years to fill up the "boss" shoes or to feel comfortable running a business as the "baby girl " in me wasn't sure she...
Prevailing rule for Fall 2017 is Diversity! Diversity is also spurred by a political climate: travel bans, intolerance; all these are enforcing diversity in Fashion, promoting tolerance & acceptance. This in turn qualifies the mix of all trends: return to the 80's, ultra modern shiny/puffy rocket launching outfits, fuzzy to cuddle up, Japonica meets countryside, Romance from Berlin in the 40's, from Athleisure to the Color Block mechanical doll, Prints, from Romantic flowers to Retro graphics & calligraphy of ancient scriptures.

Work can get overwhelming and the news these days doesn't help ....
Do you remember to take a break?
Happy Monday!

These were the 1980's and the fashion world was not ready for the big revolution that was already spilling out of Japan into the West. The creative adult is the child who survived (Ursule le Guin). This is always what comes to my mind when I watch new collections that we receive from Japan. The Japanese design changed dramatically the relation between Fashion & Body. No more exact fitting & tailoring. No more garments that look perfect on the hanger. Yes to garments with beauty that is enhanced by movement & perfect tailoring. Outfits that are enhanced...
Hi Everyone,
We are still hearing from a few people that they aren't sure where and who we are going to be showing with at the September Shows.
I agree, it can be slightly puzzling with all the new shows.
There is a lot of change and many locations to shop this season. Exciting but also confusing!
So to make it really easy for you, we made a list of designers that we are showing with at Studio Atelier NYC, which is the show Roni Rabl will participate in with another 50+ great designers and brands. See below for the lineup! Hope you are as excited as we are!
