Atelier long ago established itself as a finely curated men’s boutique. With a strong, avant-garde aesthetic of dark minimalism, the store has championed new designers like Damir Doma and Julius, as well as icons like Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, and Ann Demeulemeester. Now their boutique on Hudson houses a new fashion hero: Yves Saint Laurent. Stefano Pilati has personally designed a capsule collection for Atelier. Though it might seem surprising that a luxury brand would partner with an independent retailer, the aesthetics and design concept of both houses have much in common: both are committed to building a wardrobe based on elegant classics with modern innovation. The 17 piece collection, made in Italy, adheres to the Atelier color scheme of grey and black and offers oversized tailored jackets, drop crotch pants, and cashmere knits. Sick as we all may be of collaborations, this one is worth pulling out the plastic for.
