Labour of Love - Atelier Skirt
Our Atelier Skirt: inspired by memory, made for daydreams. This piece was inspired by an antique French skirt we discovered in a sunlit flea market—reimagined with our own signature details and story woven in.
The flowing silhouette features a soft flounce inspired by wildflowers from childhood—white fawn lilies, trumpet honeysuckle, and chocolate lilies—designed to move like petals in the breeze. Delicate ties along the hem can be worn loose for a bohemian feel or tied into bows for a touch of French romance.
An elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring offers an easy, flattering fit across a range of sizes. And yes—there are pockets. Crafted from our signature custom-woven wood/bamboo viscose, it drapes beautifully and feels light, soft, and effortless to wear.
About the Print: At Market of Stars, we are fierce believers in art — real art — made by human hands. To us, the arts in all their beautiful, riotous forms, represent the very best of who we are, and the depth of emotion, imagination, and empathy we are capable of as human beings.
Labour of Love is our answer to this. It’s a heartfelt reaction against AI art, and our joyful celebration of the arts in all their marvellous and imperfect beauty. Music, literature, painting, cooking, crafting, creating — are represented here in a glorious collage of art from the past four centuries. The open book at the bottom of our design reads: anima in opere, which translates from latin as the soul in the work, or the work of the soul. The trim is a stunning and resonant quote from Rumi: “Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth.” This is our way: to support and celebrate real artists, and make a promise to you that we will never use AI art in our pieces at Market of Stars. The beauty of what we love… will always be what we do.
