atelier

His swanky West Hollywood atelier had colorful wallpaper and African masks on the walls, a huge potbelly stove and a full bar, where customers could indulge throughout a fitting.

Featuring a fantastical garden of creatures lining the windows, all created using upcycled fabrics by the atelier, I had to pause on the sidewalk to whip out my phone and capture the scene before me.

The logo suggests that Viktor and Rolf are sending us messages, not with words on a page but through sculptural creations that push out of the atelier and into visual culture.

Nicola later said she had wanted to, telling the Times Victoria realised her atelier couldn't make it in time so she had to pick a different designer.

"She wasn't the person toiling away with pattern-making back in the atelier, but she really did prove herself, and more credit to her."
