I'm Yanique, and I'm 6 feet tall.
I spent six years at Chanel. Not designing — serving. Learning what happens when a woman who knows exactly what she wants meets a garment that meets her standard completely. The fit, the fabric, the way a sleeve breaks at exactly the right point on the wrist. I watched that moment hundreds of times. It changes how a woman carries herself. Not because the clothes gave her something new. Because they finally matched what she already knew about herself.
That experience shaped everything I understand about quality. And it's why I eventually left to build my own.
I founded Dreamers & Lovers, a bohemian bridal atelier, from my California studio. I designed and produced lace wedding dresses with the same obsession over materials and construction I learned in luxury retail. That brand taught me how to build: how to source, how to cut, how to run a production studio where every seam is deliberate.
Through all of it, I lived the same frustration you have. I'm a woman who spent her career inside the world's most exacting fashion house, and I couldn't find a cashmere sweater with sleeves that reached my wrists. I couldn't find a blazer that sat correctly on my shoulders. I couldn't find trousers that broke properly at the shoe.
I didn't need another "tall brand." I needed someone who understood both luxury construction and tall proportions. So I built it.
Atallier is an elevated wardrobe for accomplished tall women. Every piece is designed from a tall frame first. Not graded up from standard sizing. Cashmere, wool, leather, tailored denim. Investment pieces from a California atelier, made in small batches, with the precision I learned at Chanel and the production expertise I built over a decade of running my own studio.
I design for the woman I spent years dressing: someone with exacting taste, a life she's built with intention, and a height that the fashion industry has never properly served.
Until now.
