Atelier Notes

Pieter Mulier's first public look for Versace, worn by Nicole Kidman on the Practical Magic 2 red carpet, swaps the house's usual color and print for a single black lace gown built directly over a nude base.

Les acheteurs ne font pas confiance aux photos produit générées par IA. Pour la lingerie sur mesure, l'enjeu est plus grand.

Atelier Notes

A new survey finds most shoppers can't detect AI-generated product images — and that's exactly why they want them labelled. For made-to-order lingerie, where fit and fabric can't be faked, the trust gap is sharper than anywhere else.
