THE ATELIER · NEWSLETTER
New collections, research notes, and objects worth knowing about, sent occasionally. Each letter includes something from the studio: a reference that informed a collection, a textile tradition we've been studying, a new piece before it goes live. It is not a newsletter in the conventional sense. It is correspondence.
