How We Move
Life doesn’t move in straight lines.
Neither does the knight.
ATELIER A.TÁLIB is built on the idea that power is not always loud, and strength is not always obvious. It moves with intention. With pause. With strategy.
Founded by Sadia Khawaja Aboutalib, designer, creative director, and storyteller, A.TÁLIB emerges from two decades spent shaping ideas behind the scenes in media, technology, and design. Years of working at the intersection of strategy and storytelling revealed a quiet truth. How something is presented often matters as much as what it is. Clothing, like ideas, is a form of communication.
Each collection is designed as a move.
Not sequential. Strategic.
Each season is named after a chess move, chosen not for popularity, but for purpose.
NA1: Knight to A1.
The opening POWER MOVES. An unconventional beginning.ND2: Knight to D2.
The opening LOVE LANGUAGE. Adaptive. Considered.EN PASSANT.
In passing. The silent move that houses the accessories that move with you between moments.
The knight is the only piece that does not move in straight lines.
It leaps. It repositions. It changes the game quietly.
So do we.
So do you.
This is clothing for those who move differently through rooms, through roles, through life. Designed with restraint. Crafted with intention. Made to be worn your way.
The board is infinite.
The moves are yours.
