Meet Our Designer
DOREN ERISMEN
The founder of the brand, Doren Erismen was born
and raised in Cyprus island where she started her
fashion journey by dressing Barbie dolls and
inevitably designing for them.
She was influenced by the contrast between
limitations of ready to wear market and the
limitlessness of manufacturing, therefore, she
eventually found that fashion design is essentially
associated with the definition of limitlessness for
her.
“To me fashion is a way that people can express
themselves without speaking. It is a nonverbal form
of communication showing a lot about someone’s
personality. Fashion is a form of art and a concept
that can be interpreted in various forms for
everyone"
