Zoya's Atelier

Zoya is an impassioned and creative designer who has 30 years of design experience that enables her to create stunning, custom made 'one of a kind' bridal and evening gowns. A graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and a one-time instructor at Parsons School of Design, Zoya creates original designs using hand-embroidery, hand-beading, crocheting and needlepoint. After graduating from FIT, Zoya opened her own design studio in New York City, concentrating on custom made couture wedding gowns, evening gowns, suits, dresses and accessories for all occasions. Zoya's desire and passion for fashion began as a child. Her mother's love of embroidery, beading and crocheting was passed down to Zoya and is displayed in her pieces of art. Now a mother of three and a grandmother of five, Zoya's Atelier culminates 30 years of sewing, designing, teaching and dressing women to look their absolute best. Amy, who has recently relocated with her family from London to Virginia, is both an interior designer and a business professional, bringing with her a decade of business experience at the BBC - in the News and Digital Divisions. Amy is passionate about family and women's empowerment. Her family owned a women's boutique in London, England for 30 years, and her fondest childhood memories were working in Alice as a child, picking up the pins on the shop floor as her great-grandmother designed wedding gowns.
