A Tentative Atelier’s Spring/Summer ’23 line exudes a subtle confidence.
The pieces are unexpected and intricate — a dynamic forever at play within the brand’s presentations.
Within each piece lies a central juxtaposition.
Light and dark, austerity and imagination, softness and structure.
This is a collection unafraid of the romantic tension of opposites.
Design duo Nam Tsang and Pauline Yuen employ a small team of Hong Kong’s finest artisans and craftspeople.
They utilize old techniques to infuse a sense of history into their work.
Through the union of asymmetrical lines, feminine ruching, classic silhouettes and natural fabrics, A Tentative Atelier’s distinct character is achieved.
The studio delivers meticulous handiwork: whipstitched ribbon peeks out from a silk trench coat, delicate pleats embellish a suit coat and classic lines sublimate raw, natural linen.
The cream and white color palette shines light on the collection, contrasting against dark silk and jacquard patchwork.
There’s a sense of wholeness, where contradiction is welcomed and rendered into beauty.
