About Me
​Hi, I’m Mariam Anna Barska — originally from Armenia, I moved to New York City as a teenager in late 1990, chasing a dream I didn’t yet know would turn into a lifelong career in fashion.
​
After studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), I began designing professionally and spent over 20 years working with top brands, building, leading, and launching women’s collections across contemporary, luxury, and runway categories.
​
Fashion has taken me from New York to Los Angeles, from creative studios to global runways — and today, I use that experience to help others find their own path in this ever-evolving industry.
Mission
"My idea for any design is to reach a woman who desires clothing that will carry her through every aspect of her life, from the more formal, go to work occasions, workouts, travels and also for the more informal aspects of her life. It really reflects the style and sensibilities which I see all around me, whether it be right out my window, in Los Angeles or Dallas. I try to design with my core design principles: Clothing of value and integrity of the design."
​
Vision
What is unique about me is my intelligent sense of style combined with surprising twists that make each design look and feel special for each brand. I enjoy designing collections of modern silhouettes and touches of feminine appeal, while also embracing the relaxed sensibility of a contemporary lifestyle.
