From blue color to white collar: the redesign of the French workersuit

My name is Lotte and I am the founder and designer of Atelier Charlie. After finishing my studies at ArtEZ Fashion Design in Arnhem, the Netherlands, I gained work experience in different companies in Paris, France (Isabel Marant, Lemaire) and in the Netherlands (Humanoid). A never-ending interest in clothes and the way people dress, a passion for design, textiles and colours, together with a big support from my inspiring friends and family, made me start my own design studio since January 2017.

The name Charlie originates from the Germanic word for ‘free man’. By offering instant classics, made from meticulously sourced and specially developed materials with surprising detail and colour, Atelier Charlie sets its wearer free to tell his own distinctive story. I want to go back to the core of clothing. Fits are effortless to let the beauty and quality of materials, the high-end production of Atelier Charlie is entirely carried in Italy and Portugal, with full respect of working ethic.
