Fall 2024 Collection: Fashion Meets the Cosmos

Drawing inspiration from the great cosmic players the sun, the moon, and the stars the collection felt like a fresh breath of interstellar air. One of the most interesting aspects of The Atelier’s presentation was how they utilized the idea that we are all composed of approximately 89.5% star elements. The truth is that we all contain a little bit of cosmic dust. The collection was an elegant reminder of the connection between fashion and this concept.
