In fashion, some brands emerge with a unique blend of elegance, creativity, and a powerful vision. Maison d’Angelann is one such brand, founded in 2014 by two friends, Anna and Angelika, whose passion for fashion, coupled with their drive to make women feel beautiful and empowered, gave birth to this iconic label.
The story of Maison d’Angelann began when Anna, hailing from Kharkiv, Ukraine, and Angelika, a native of Tbilisi, Georgia, crossed paths at university. They shared a love for fashion that would later become the cornerstone of their joint venture. In 2011, Anna embarked on a career as a notary public, which still thrives today. Simultaneously, she delved into the fashion world, focusing on producing high-quality cashmere and wool garments.
Fast forward to 2014, and Anna, now business partners with Angelika, gave birth to Maison d’Angelann. This brand quickly rose to become one of Ukraine’s most successful labels. In 2015, their influence expanded with the opening of mono-brand boutiques in Moscow and Kyiv. Simultaneously, their brand gained popularity in France and found its place in a multi-brand boutique in Saint-Tropez. The journey continued in 2017 with the establishment of corners in Galleries Lafayette and Dubai Mall, making Angelann an internationally recognized luxury brand with a modern, elegant, and sought-after design, supported by a global network of concept stores and international delivery.
In an exclusive interview, they share the fascinating journey of their brand, from its inception to its philanthropic endeavors, and what the future holds for Maison d’Angelann.
Anna: The name Angelann is a fusion of our names, Anna and Angelika. We wanted a name that would encapsulate our shared vision and philosophy. It signifies the delicate beauty and strength that every woman possesses. We believe that modern women should be firm and elegant, and our dresses are designed to bring out this duality, making women feel beautiful and empowered.
Angelika: We believe in giving back to society. Our journey with the Tony Garrn Foundation began with a unique dress created exclusively for their charity auction. The proceeds from selling this dress were directed toward girls’ education in African countries. We are passionate about supporting initiatives that empower women and allow them to shine.
Anna: Our dresses are more than just garments; they are transformative. Women who wear our designs stand taller, exuding grace and elegance. It’s about unveiling the inner beauty and strength that every woman possesses. Maison d’Angelann’s dresses have the power to turn heads, receive compliments, and leave a lasting impression.
Angelika: While we are known for our dresses, we have diversified our collections. For example, we introduced a classic smoking suit this season, a style not traditionally associated with our brand. It’s a nod to those who want to maintain their favorite brand’s style in more formal settings or adhere to a strict dress code.
“Our brand is available in over 10 countries worldwide. We have concept stores in iconic locations across France, Greece, Monaco, the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, among others.”
As we approach our 10th anniversary in 2024, we are preparing something truly special. Our SS24 collection will be the most beautiful yet, featuring exclusive natural fabrics. We are committed to making luxury accessible to all women. So, keep an eye out for the incredible beauty and strength we will bring to women worldwide.
In the ever-evolving fashion world, Maison d’Angelann stands as a beacon of elegance, strength, and creativity. Through their iconic brand, Anna and Angelika continue to inspire, making women feel beautiful, powerful, and empowered.
