About
ICI is an initiative by Julie Tieleman, a Franco-Belgian designer residing in Mexico City. Formerly a human rights lawyer across diverse countries, Julie's journey has transformed her view of clothing.
In today's world, we've lost connection with our garments—uncertain of their origins, craftsmanship, and materials. Just as we savor a fine wine, understanding its terroir, grape variety, and winemaker, shouldn't we approach our clothing with the same curiosity? Through our capsule collections, we seek to forge a meaningful bond between weavers, seamstresses, designers, and you—the conscious consumer.
At ICI, each piece is a celebration of "ici" (here), crafted using local natural materials and techniques, embracing the rich artisanal traditions of Mexico while incorporating a global sensibility. Our collections blend a touch of Belgian wit, French elegance, Mexican tropical modernism, and a reverence for both tradition and innovation.
ICI offers a deliberate, intentional approach to dressing, where each garment symbolizes a thoughtful choice. We create made-to-order pieces and maintain a maximum of two items per model in stock, reducing waste and ensuring exclusivity for you. By prioritizing sustainable practices, we aim to minimize our environmental footprint. We appreciate your understanding that quality clothing takes time to craft, and we thank you for your patience in receiving your favorite piece.
At ICI, we believe true luxury lies in exclusivity, fine craftsmanship, and respect—for you, for our artisans, and for the environment.
