She added, “Atelier Jolie is a place for creative people to collaborate with a skilled and diverse family of expert tailors, pattern makers, and artisans from around the world.”

“It stems from my appreciation and deep respect for the many tailors and makers I’ve worked with over the years, a desire to make use of the high-quality vintage material and deadstock fabric already available, and also to be part of a movement to cultivate more self-expression.”

“There will also be an inclusive online resource for finding garment makers, making use of curated dead stock and vintage materials to create one-of-a-kind pieces that embody personal creativity and purpose.”

And a statement on the company website emphasizes diversity.

“We will bring together a diverse team, including apprenticeships for refugees and other talented, underappreciated groups, with positions of dignity based on skill,” it reads.

“And as we work with global artisans and creators, we hope to help share the richness of their cultural heritage and support the development of their own businesses.”

Jolie is well known for her interest in humanitarian and human rights issues. She has also worked with the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR for more than two decades and served as a special envoy from 2012 until December 2022.
