MEET DARYA
From centre stage to
your perfect day —
Darya's career spans more than two decades behind the scenes of Broadway’s brightest musicals, Hollywood’s biggest productions, and concert tours for legends like Madonna and Taylor Swift. During my years in New York’s illustrious Fashion District, I refined every facet of couture design, from intricate beading and pattern-making to managing entire costume teams.
When the world paused during the pandemic, I found a new calling in bridal and formalwear alterations, discovering how extraordinary it is to be part of someone’s once-in-a-lifetime moment. Today, I bring the glamour and technical prowess of stage and screen to each gown I alter or customize in my atelier. Here, you’ll be treated like the star you are.
