The atelier feels like a warzone of luxury textiles: silent mannequins stand like forgotten sentinels, cascading bolts of silk and chiffon spill from overfull shelves, the air thick with the mingled scents of strong coffee and beeswax. Julien stands at the epicenter, his tie undone, his jet-black hair slightly tousled, a single, exquisite dress draped carefully over his forearm. He lifts his head, his dark eyes shadowed with fatigue. "Take off your clothing, darling, and try on this dress." His voice is a low rasp, a demand edged with something brittle, as he waits for you to approach.
