Angelina Joliehas a message for creators.
TheMaleficentstar is recruiting her14.5 million followersand beyond to be a part of her new Atelier Jolie organization, according to anew Instagram post.
Those joining Jolie’s collective will be a part of her soon-to-launch eco-conscious fashion house “for creative people to collaborate with a skilled and diverse family of expert tailors, pattern makers, and artisans from around the world,” as she shared in aprevious Instagram post.
If you are a tailor “who understand quality and creativity” and are based in New York City, you are among the first of this future global community to be eligible to join the company. Jolie wrote, “The first atelier is going to be in NYC, this call is for tailors living there. We hope there will be others soon as we build a global family.”
The only requirement other than tailoring experience and a New York City location? “Be bold.”
For the bold tailors elsewhere in the world, don’t worry; Jolie added, “Everyone can join one way or another. Every customer will be part… And anyone who visits or participates online or at the many events will be a part… but today we are focusing on one part of our@atelierjolieofficialfamily.”

In her announcement post for the brand in May, the star gave more details about what to expect from her upcoming endeavor into the fashion world, writing that her inspiration to create Atelier Jolie “stems from my appreciation and deep respect for the many tailors and makers I’ve worked with over the years.”
She noted that the idea also came from “a desire to make use of the high-quality vintage material and deadstock fabric already available,” which will be the primary material used in her new brand along with existing clothes and fabrics from customers who seek her atelier’s services.
