We had a very busy New York Fashion Week 2023, we want to showcase some of the designers, models and fashion folks we met along at the NYFW 2023.

Diana Mahrach Couture: stands for luxury, quality and heritage, and it is known for sophistication and eye-catching elegance. The collections exude elegance and integrity, with a fashion-forward vision. Diana Mahrach started working as a teenager in 1996 as a fabric consultant and fabric buyer in New York’s garment district.

Her work with fabrics inspired Ms. Mahrach to begin designing evening wear for her clients. She has always loved beautiful fashion silhouettes and high quality design, focusing primarily on high couture evening and bridal wear.

She also has a great passion for exquisite fabrics. Today she is an established couture and textile designer and owns a number of fabrics stores. Her fabrics give her the inspiration and the passion for the sophisticated elegant lines she has been creating throughout her her career.

Wonderful designs graced the Holy Apostle Church, ballroom where the fashion took place. We have to say Mrs. Mahrach is a perfectionist, when it comes to designing. To purchase, or learn more about Diana Mahrach Couture. Click here for more information.
