We fell in love with it and brought it home, where it rested for years at the studio, waiting. At last, we’ve reimagined the design and the silhouette—preserving its romance while weaving in a little story of our own.\u2028\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs a little girl, wildflowers grew in the woods near our house here on the West Coast. White fawn lilies nodded in the shade of trees, and vines of trumpet honeysuckle glowed like lanterns. I used to believe they were fairy skirts, left behind after midnight dances in the forest. (My mother told me never to pick them or the fairies wouldn't come back. I took that very seriously. I still do ;)) Our Atelier Skirt’s flowing lower panel is finished with a soft flounce inspired by those wild blooms, designed to move with you like petals in the breeze. The little ties along the flounce can be left loose for a more bohemian, undone look, or tied into small bows for a touch of old-world French charm. \u2028\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe’ve added an easy elastic waistband with adjustable drawstring to make it as comfortable as it is flattering, and it’s designed to suit a wide range of shapes and sizes. And yes—there are pockets (because fairies need pockets)! Crafted from our signature custom-woven fabric, it drapes beautifully and feels as lovely as it looks—light, flowy, and endlessly wearable.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eA skirt for everyday adventures, daydreams, and moonlit wandering— and perhaps even for dancing, if the fairies happen to be near :)\u2028\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003exo,\u003cbr\u003eDanielle\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Print:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Market of Stars, we are fierce believers in art — \u003ci\u003ereal art \u003c\/i\u003e— 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. It’s why we choose not to use AI art in our work. Why would we ever give away the best of who we are?\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLabour of Love is 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, \u003ci\u003ecreating\u003c\/i\u003e — are represented here in a glorious collage of art from the past four centuries. The open book at the bottom of our design reads: \u003ci\u003eanima in opere, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich translates from latin as \u003ci\u003ethe soul in the work, \u003c\/i\u003eor \u003ci\u003ethe work of the soul. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eThe 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.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as bamboo and wood).
