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.
