When it comes to style and fashion Asians have always had a great taste. Our today’s recommendation for you is a coming of age drama that is all about style and also makes you feel good.
We are talking about ‘Atelier’ that is developed by Japan’s Fuji Television for Netflix. Created by Daisuke Sekiguchi, the show is a 13 episode drama and takes a very different and fresh approach towards the fashion industry that is otherwise characterised by unbearable pressure and ego clashes.
‘Atelier’ is a Japanese drama about an unsophisticated young woman Mayuko Tokita with a sincere passion for textiles who gets a job at an upscale lingerie boutique called Emotion in Tokyo’s tony Ginza district.
The show is all about how she struggles to find her place at Emotion and her relationship with the owner, who resembles, both in demeanor and haircut, to one of America’s most powerful editors. While there is a lot of high fashion drama in ‘Atelier’ there is no dash of cynicism that tales of the cutthroat industry so often display.
‘Atelier’ stars Mirei Kiritani, Mao Daichi, Wakana Sakai, Mayuko Kawakita, Ken Kaito, Maiko, Masako Chiba, Dori Sakurada and Nicole Ishida among others.
If you are a fashion lover or like watching shows that leave a warm feeling in your heart then ‘Atelier’ is that rare find you should not miss, it’s one inspiring, heartfelt and feel good drama. ‘Atelier’ is available to stream on Netflix.
