We are strong supporters of women supporting women in some of the most important moments of their lives.

 

At Zoya’s Atelier, when we say we want to help every bride, we mean every bride. We are committed to all brides in our community without regard to race, color, size, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

 

Our brides come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes Zoya’s Atelier and our community stronger.

 

We cannot wait to help you find the perfect dress!

ZOYA

 

Zoya is an impassioned and creative designer who has 30 years of design experience that enables her to assist brides, and mothers of the bride and groom to choose the perfect gowns for their body shape and style. A graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and a one-time instructor at Parsons School of Design, Zoya can also create original ‘one of a kind’ designs using hand-embroidery, hand-beading, crocheting and needlepoint.

 

After graduating from FIT, Zoya opened her own design studio in New York City, concentrating on custom made couture wedding gowns, evening gowns, suits, dresses and accessories for all occasions. Zoya’s desire and passion for fashion began as a child. Her mother’s love of embroidery, beading and crocheting was passed down to Zoya and is displayed in her pieces of art. Now a mother of three and a grandmother of five, Zoya’s Atelier culminates 30 years of sewing, designing, teaching and dressing women to look their absolute best.

 

 

AMY

 

Amy is a British entrepreneur, who relocated with her family from London to Virginia to collaborate with her mother-in-law and create Zoya’s Atelier.

 

Amy is both an interior designer, fashion stylist and a business professional, bringing with her a decade of business experience at the BBC.

 

Amy is passionate about family and women’s empowerment. Now a mom of three young children herself, her grandmother Sydney and great-grandmother Bebe owned a women’s boutique in London, England for 30 years, and her fondest childhood memories were working in Alice as a child, picking up the pins on the shop floor as her great-grandmother designed wedding gowns.
