The inception of ATELIER ANICA
Atelier Anica´s fashion line is a partnership between Anica and her daughter Tamara which began in 2020 during Covid. Together they have realized Anica’s dream of turning her work into wearable art during a moment when people needed something beautiful in their lives to help get through such a difficult time. Anica & Tamara work together hand in hand creating unique pieces and making it available to the world.
