Angelina Jolie recently commemorated her eponymous design atelier’s first year spent operating from Jean-Michel Basquiat’s former art studio at 57 Great Jones Street. In that time, Atelier Jolie has quietly emerged as a place where art- and design-obsessed New Yorkers can connect with makers whose work they might see only in magazine profiles or museum shows. The atelier’s textile and tailoring workshops, artist talks, and maker residencies have put intimate conversations with the likes of Mickalene Thomas and opportunities to collaborate on custom commissions with textile artist Simon Ungless and painter Chaz Guest within reach.
The space’s modus operandi seems to be as strong as ever considering that L’Enchanteur, the winners of the 2025 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, are headlining Atelier Jolie’s current residency. From now through the month of December, visitors will be able to peruse L’Enchanteur’s fine jewelry and accessories from the atelier, which is the label’s sole stockist.
For their Spring/Summer 2025 presentation at New York Fashion Week, sisters and co-founders Soull and Dynasty Ogun melded performance and high craft to showcase a collection of sculptural jewelry and metal-based ready-to-wear informed by their spirituality and roots everywhere from Lagos to Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood. That Thomas, a fellow Atelier Jolie collaborator, was the presentation’s star model seems to be kismet.
