Anna Pazhava


ABOUT THE DESIGNER


Anna Pazhava’s love for high fashion blossomed in her early teenage years. She honed her craft at London’s Central Saint Martins College, where she specialized in haute couture embroidery, millinery techniques, and patternmaking. She then dove into the magical world of theatrical costuming and gained even more skills and insights into the industry. She quickly realized that these two passions can not only co-exist but symbiotically flourish in her own designs. Thus, the idea for Anna’s own brand was born. Because of her vast technical experience and an eye for harmony and balance, Anna is now known for intricate and unique pieces that will wow the toughest crowd. This led her to establishing a considerable clientele among “Burners” (Burning Man attendees). In 2022, Anna was invited to participate in Brampton Fashion Week with her collection Mediterranean Sunsets and had her one-of-a-kind coatdress featured in Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan editorial and photoshoot Nomad. Most recently, Anna launched her collection Georgian Churches during FAT 2023.

MEADOW FAIRIES

The idea for Meadow Fairies first emerged during Anna’s trip to Cuba. As she was recharging and reconnecting with nature, Anna was mesmerized by the different textures and colours in a simple slice of a pineapple. She immediately knew she wanted to mimic it with light and heavy textiles and layering of fabric, but she also wanted to connect it to pastoral scenes closer to home. The result is Meadow Fairies: light, bright, and a little mischievous. While Anna has already completed the ready-to-wear version of this collection, the haute couture pieces haven’t been presented to the public yet.
