The story of the brand MAZARINE is intricately intertwined with the life and passion of its charismatic Owner and Creative Director, Maryna Mazarine. From her early years, Maryna demonstrated an innate talent for creativity and design, which would later define her successful career in fashion.
Early Years: The Seeds of Passion
Maryna’s journey into the world of fashion began in her childhood when she was engaged in professional ballroom dancing. Not content with simply performing, she took it upon herself to design costumes for her competitions. This early exposure to the art of costume design not only honed her skills but also ignited a lifelong passion for creating beautiful and unique garments.
Academic Pursuits and Early Collaborations
As she grew older, Maryna’s talent continued to flourish. While studying at one of Switzerland’s most prestigious universities, her passion for design led her to collaborate with private ateliers. Here, suits and dresses were crafted according to her meticulous sketches, setting her apart from her peers. These early collaborations were a testament to her burgeoning talent and her commitment to her craft.
The Birth of a Brand
The pivotal moment for Maryna came in May 2021, with the creation of her first capsule collection made of linen fabrics. Handcrafted in a small local sewing workshop in Dubai, this collection quickly sold out upon its arrival in Geneva, Switzerland. The discerning audience in Geneva appreciated the collection’s feminine silhouettes, architectural cuts, high-quality natural fabrics, and the versatility of the pieces. This initial success was a clear indication that Maryna was destined for greater achievements in the fashion industry.
Establishing MAZARINE
Following this success, Maryna took the next logical step by establishing her own creative studio, MAZARINE Showroom & Atelier, in the heart of Dubai. The studio offers a bespoke approach to every client, emphasizing handcrafted tailoring, attention to detail, and the precise work of professional tailors and cutting masters. This commitment to quality and individual client needs quickly attracted a loyal clientele who valued time, elegance, and a personalized approach.
Expansion and Global Reach
In November 2021, MAZARINE launched small-scale production, and by early 2022, the first lines of models under the MAZARINE brand were introduced. Today, MAZARINE collections are available at the Mazarine Showroom & Atelier in Dubai, in Monaco at Eden Monte-Carlo, and online with worldwide delivery.
Maryna’s decision to name the brand after herself, choosing a deep shade of blue that is always present in her collections, symbolizes the brand’s core values. This color not only represents elegance but also connects every piece to the brand’s identity.
