What makes you a "Divine Woman in Business? ✨What is your truth?
My journey into fashion design started at ripe age of 13, when l asked my mom to show how the sewing machine works. Years later a little project- stage costume for a prima ballerina turned into several costumes for the whole troupe.
That experience never left me, l see the fashion as creating a beautiful container for our bodies to live, dance and enjoy the life.
Having degrees in textile chemical engineering and textile as fine art allowed me to create outfits unique enough to be showcased during NYFE, LAFW, being published nationally and internationally.
My unique education led me to experience the devastating impact fashion and textile industries have on the environment.
Last year l published a book “Luxury of the new era: A New Vision of the Fashion World”
"What is a story of strength, survival or hardship you have overcome and what did that teach you?
I was born into occupied country. The resistance began very early. I learned how to keep your integrity,
moral values, fight for freedom, when even voicing all that could lend me in insane asylum or worse, when even smallest disobedience could ruin your life forever. My character was forged there.
I moved to US, l had nothing just a small suitcase with essential and very little knowledge of English. Very soon l found myself alone with 8-month baby on my hands. With no support from the father or anyone, l finished college without student loans or grants. Worked in Corporate America for years, taught in the same college l just graduated with a perfect GPA.
After layoff in 2010, l returned to my artistic roots and began building my skill set and business. From
painting, to jewelry to fashion.
"What advice would you give to other women to succeed as "Divine Women" in their lives?"
1. Find your strengths and build your skills around them
2. Build social capital
3. Be consistent, business is a marathon, not a sprint, watch for the signs of burnout
4. Take care of yourself
