Maria was raised since the age of two at the atelier, playing with a piece of fabric, and watching the rehearsals. The involvement in fashion was the only way for her. She studied fashion design and theatrical costume creation and taught in fashion schools. Finally, she found herself creating an atelier like the one of her grandmother's, following her footsteps. There, she revived the fashion courses that now she can deliver online together with the design and the selling of the handmade clothes for each particular person that has the luck to wear these wonderful pieces of art. Together with her team have prepared two exhibitions and now they are preparing the third one, inaugurating "the dressmaker of the future"- my own term.
