Every season brings with it a new wave of inspiration, and this fall’s HudCo Atelier is no exception. On Friday, September 19, from 11am–3pm, the HudCo Atrium will transform into a curated marketplace of artistry, craft, and creativity.
From collections born out of years of training in Florence to designs rooted in heritage and family, each maker is unveiling work that tells a story—about tradition, transformation, and the power of design to connect us. Think of this guide as your personal preview: a closer look at the makers, their inspirations, and the one-of-a-kind treasures you’ll discover at the HudCo Atelier.
AOB Shoes
This first independent collection by Addicus Ostendorf Bagwell marks a pivotal moment in his evolution as a shoemaker. Each pair is a testament to the technical precision and classical discipline he mastered over the last four years of training in Florence, Italy—first as an apprentice and later as a bespoke shoemaker at the esteemed Stefano Bemer atelier.
But this collection is not just about tradition. It’s about tension. Fusion. Bagwell challenges the boundaries of what handmade footwear can be, drawing from the structured elegance of classic shoemaking and injecting it with the bold energy and visual language of modern sneaker culture and trends.
This work doesn’t aim to quietly follow tradition—it engages in a dialogue with it, sometimes reverent, sometimes rebellious. From patternmaking to hand-welting, every detail is executed with intention, yet nothing is sacred. His debut collection speaks to the future of shoemaking—where classical craft intersects with cultural momentum.
Delgado New York
The Delgado New York International Colors of Fashion T-shirts celebrate unity, diversity, and the transformative power of style. Each shirt showcases freehand sketches created by our models under the coaching of designer Juan Delgado Martínez, turning every piece into a collaboration of art and empowerment.
With every purchase, 20% of proceeds are donated to the Sleepy Coffee Too Foundation, supporting programs that uplift and empower the differently abled community. These T-shirts go beyond fashion — they are wearable art that connects creativity, inclusion, and global impact.
Jessica Miller Paintings
Originally from northern Michigan, Jessica now makes her home in the Hudson River Valley. Her work became widely known as the vibrant, expressionist portrait on the cover of the wildly popular novel Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano (available at Picture Book).
After graduating from the University of Michigan, Jessica studied at the School of Visual Arts and at the Art Students League in New York with legendary painter Hananiah Harari, later continuing her studies with acclaimed portrait and landscape artist Andrew Lattimore. Her work is shown regularly in galleries in New York and hangs in private collections throughout the world.
“Every unique, incredible face that I paint is a continuing challenge and inspiration,” Miller said. “Each one teaches me something and satisfies what I see as an intrinsically human need to create.”
Particularly popular are her half-hour portraits, small paintings done in one quick sitting, which effectively capture likeness as well as mood. Sign up to get your very own 30-minute portrait by Jessica Miller this Thursday, September 19.
Wornout Jewelry
Artisan Cappi Macsherry runs this small-batch studio located in South Nyack, where she transforms vintage, heirloom, and estate jewelry relics into modernized one-of-a-kind delightful designs. Adorned with 18 karat findings, Wornout’s creations are rare, timeless, signature pieces made from what was, and will be again, enjoyed for generations.
“My latest collection of one-of-a-kind link bracelets is inspired by the masculine and feminine when intertwined,” Macsherry said. “Made from antique Victorian and Edwardian Bodice Brooches—of silver and rolled gold, dating back from the 1840s to the early 1900s—each piece is carefully paired, designed and handcrafted to suit the eye and wrist of its future admirer.”
Wooden Sleepers
Wooden Sleepers is a menswear brand, founded in 2010 by New York native Brian M. Davis, that specializes in vintage American workwear, outdoors, military, and Ivy Style clothing—“a greatest hits of vintage American menswear,” as he said in an Esquire interview. The brand, now based in Tuckahoe, traces its roots to Davis’s upbringing on Long Island’s North Fork.
Wooden Sleepers has worked on special projects and collaborations with iconic menswear companies including Ralph Lauren, J. Crew, Todd Snyder, and Best Made Co., and more. We just cannot wait to see what he brings to the Atelier!
