A new casual shiek dress collection for everyday or special occasions is on the horizon, exemplifying the unforgettable woman. Who is the person behind this exceptional talent?
Russian born, Zhanna Kens with dreams of becoming a Fashion Designer, started at the age of five. Her fashion sense became apparent when she began making clothes for her dolls, then herself and later for her friends. She moved from the small Eastern town of Magadan to Moscow. There her abilities and artistry excelled and evolved into an established clientele in the fashion industry before immigrating to the United States in 1994.
Her passion and aspirations in the field of Fashion Design were reignited while here in Florida. Original, excellent in quality and craftsmanship, and transcendent in the design and time process, describes this industrious designer. She delivers prompt and exceptional service. Presently, she uses mostly fabrics that stretch and drape, along with chiffon and silks. The embellishments on her dresses are hand crafted using Swarovski crystals, unique beads, silk flowers, and hand-made appliqués or anything else that enhances her creation.
Currently, her cutting edge designs include: custom crafted ballroom/Latin dancewear, figure skating designs with total freedom in movement, and unique evening dresses which are created for personal style. In the past six years, she has established her own distinct unique brand. Her compressive professional experience as a master designer, both National and International includes:
  • Winner of 2009 Prestige Award and Favorite Dress Designer in Cleveland Dance
Sport Championships
  • 2009, her costumes shine on ice in Tokyo, Japan
  • 2009, World Figure Skating Championships in LA on NBC (her clients came in 9th in the World)
