who i am

The designer behind the wedding

I started my journey in 2008, when the passion for designing my own clothes, my intuition to feel fabrics, the childhood joy for painting, and geometry, all crowned as a great gift from God, were all set like a puzzle. The seeds of my childhood dreams, my faith in God’s plan, painting and sewing clothes for dolls began to sprout.

At the age of 23, without any capital, with no suitable location for a sewing atelier, in my bedroom apartment, I started to create clothes. My best friend, my help, my unique “colleague” for 2 and a half years was a household sewing machine, bought in 6 bank installments. During that time, I was often working by late night, on low speed, so the sewing machine sound would not bother my neighbors.

my passion

Feels like a barefoot walk on a grassy carpet

Years followed, my personal life was dedicated only to this passion. Day and night. It was not easy at all: hours of work by morning with sunrise in my window, pattern experiments, time management situations, fabrics purchases, home delivery dresses, even fittings at the client’s office. I was all in one: designer, tailor, modeler, seamstress, client advisor.

Looking back, now, at 37, that period was hard, but that was the most important lesson for becoming a professional now, in my field of work, together with my team. Knowing all my team operations, empathize with my employers, finding solutions, make our best we can. I remember doing 3 or 4 fittings for an item, I had insomnia every night, finding solution for every dress, leaving from my “atelier”. And what energy pill I was receiving after a happy embrace of a client? Was my battery to continue!

Now our client is visiting us, only once, for any custom dress we have in our collection. My body was tired, very tired, but I remember my mind and heart sooo fresh, like a barefoot walk on a grassy carpet with dew in the morning. And this is not a metaphor phrase, is the feeling I have felt those times. Later, at 32, when my daughter came on this world, I felt the same. I consider my self a person blessed by God with invaluable gifts, like this kind state of mind, soul and body.
