A workshop or studio, especially one where a famous artist, designer, or fashion designer creates and teaches their craft.
From French 'atelier,' derived from Old French 'astelier' (from 'aste,' a piece of wood). Originally referred to a craftsman's workshop; adopted into English during the 19th century.
Fashion ateliers in Paris and Milan became legendary because they weren't just shops—they were schools where apprentices learned the tiny, precise techniques that took decades to master, turning fabric into haute couture masterpieces.
