María, Vanessa, and Soad are the creative mind and soul that gives life to the idea of Atelier 17-56. Each of the collections is born from the nostalgic origin that they share. 

María, the mother and creator of the romantic, feminine idea behind every garment, holds in her hands the intention to create, stitch by stitch, with patience and love for the fabric. Vanessa and Soad, her daughters, inherited their mother’s love for the atelier, where time has always seemed to slow down, since they can remember. 

Atelier 17-56 is a blend of the three, of their intertwined lives, of the joy and the sadness, the light and the darkness, of what could have been and what was. This was how this homage to the past was knit, a tribute to the surreal Caribbean where they grew up, to its mysterious characters, its distinctive colors, and its profound culture, which they want to set forth into the world through each of their garments. 

The romantic, femininie silhouettes, the flow of the fabric, the tactful flares, the textures of the fibers, the delicate, timeless pieces that result from a combination of details and colors, define Atelier 17-56.
