ART OF SILK
SPRING / SUMMER 2019 ATELIER
ICICLE invited photographer Tom Ordoyno to present the most exquisite dresses of this season with traditional film photography.
From toile, plissés, ironing to trimming, an atelier dress is not only a work of craft, but also a work of art.
After hours and hours of craftwork, a perfect atelier dress is born.
As timeless as sculpture, yet as fleeting as the play of light.

An evening dress requires the talents of the most experienced head seamstresses.
The detailed sketch comes to life beneath their expert fingers.
The sample of an evening dress is tailored and adjusted repeatedly.
The first interpretation of the design is a cotton toile that materializes a silhouette.
To create long-lasting silk pleats, we make an additional stitch under every pleat for fixation.
