behind the works
Atelier Daguerre was created by two artists in 2003, who designed and diligently sold various goods until 2012.
Their son has undertaken their project in 2021.
Atelier Daguerre is a family heirloom art company from the the Puget Sound area, with the goal of making life timelessly classic. From the dawning decades of the 20th century, our designs draw inspiration from sporting, horseback riding, unspoken rules, and war. French and Anglo culture of the common man of yesterday ebb throughout the designs of our family history of arts.
Embarking on the journey through the School of Apparel Design & Development, Atelier Daguerre pivots from houseware company to lifelong passion project.
Now graduated, Avery Hotaling has released his SS23 graduate collection 'of The Valley'. This debut collection is a highlight of the stories of women throughout Christendom, and champion their significant historical roles. This collection is also a testament to collaboration and the efforts of many people who helped put this project together, whom it would be impossible to have completed without.
Namely, credits go out to the following artisans:
Richard Thompson - set design/display booth
Kate Yelkovan - photography
Evangeline Marcus - modeling
Tanya Knannlein - creative input
Scott Moy - technical input
Fauntleroy UCC - setting
Enrolled again in academia at L'Institut Superieur des Arts Appliques, Avery seeks to specialize in 3D fashion design using programs like CLO3D and blender to broaden his range of abilities and further his skillset in patternmaking. He is in his second of three years to achieve a bachelor's degree.
