Agapi Zaruba
„I was born and raised in Telenesti, a small town in Moldova. There, my journey in the fashion industry began with acquiring specialized knowledge in Apparel Design and Technology from the Technological College of Chisinau. My love for the art of high-end tailoring led me to Greece, where I specialized in creating bridal gowns as a modelist. In 2004, I opened the doors to my own atelier, Atelier Zaruba, with the firm belief that every woman deserves to feel unique and incomparably beautiful.
Throughout my 20-year professional journey, I have participated in various exhibitions, taken on the costume design for different theatrical performances, and my work has been recognized and featured in reputable magazines.
Each my garment reflects exclusivity, professionalism, respect, and love for my work.”
