The Story

 

Designed with love, cut with passion from delicate materials, exquisite embroidery and sheer emotion, a beautiful dream was born in 2014. The ANILU story, however, began much earlier, in the magic place of childhood, where almost every grandmother, mother or daughter knows how to sew by hand amazing traditional embroideries. It was there that the fascination for couture, art of tailoring and fine embroideries was firstly revealed and uncovered. 

In the quest of the ideal cut that highlights the silhouette and masks defects, through obsession for perfection and desire to make unique and timeless pieces, ANILU passionately masters the techniques of luxury tailoring, creating distinctive designs and celebrating femininity and sensuality. Every piece of clothing goes through the laborious stages required for creation: from the idea that evolves into a concept, the pattern draw and fabric selection, to manufacturing the first prototype, so that the final product is proudly worn by women all over the world.

With handcrafted statement garments, hand embroidered decorations, hand made embroideries and crochet lace adormnents, all ANILU designs are made using couture techniques and highly skilled manual work. The result is a unique and exquisite piece of clothing, that transcends styles and cultures, becoming a manifesto for the flawless couture products.

 

The Designer 

 

"Fashion has always been my first love. As a child, I could spend all my time drawing sketches, painting, sewing or mending clothes. I was lucky to grow up in the same magic place where the great sculptor Constantin Brancusi was born and created most of his iconic art. It's the place with one of the richest traditions and cultural heritages in Romania, where amazing etnhic embroideries are being made by hand for centuries.

I always knew I was born to design one of a kind outfits. But, at 19, I had another dream, which took me to the media scene, pursuing my tv and magazine editor career. It was my job to attend galas, fashion shows or high-class events and I couldn't find a gown that suited my age or style. That's when I began to create my own dresses and receive compliments for my unique designs. At first, I started out of necesity, drawing, cutting the patterns and sawing all dresses by myself, and the result amazed me too. Therefore, I decided to put all my heart and soul into growing my own fashion brand. 

My mantra is to create quality garments that can last years or even a lifetime. Slow fashion is about my personal relationship with fashion. One where trends and seasons don’t matter, where I can wear the same dress for more than one occasion, because it makes me feel so special and beautiful.

ANILU creations are founded on the idea that fashion is for life. That's why I always design timeless pieces that never go out of style."
