Bio

Anya Tatarenko is an emerging fashion designer residing in San Francisco, CA. Her brand ANYA offers clothing for a woman with a busy lifestyle. The looks can be worn from day to evening with confidence, comfort and style. Anya knows how to complement a woman’s body; her garments are wearable and project confidence, sexiness and sophistication.
Anya grew up in Kazakhstan and started developing admiration for crafted garments at a very young age. Her mother had often designed and made party outfits for her when she was a little girl, and later on Anya started altering a lot of her own clothes as well. She immigrated to the United States after high school, had to adjust to the culture change and develop the foundation for her future. Anya obtained a degree in BA/Marketing and decided to make a change by moving to San Francisco.

In SF, Anya emerged herself in its vibrant culture and attitude. The lively city, it’s unique and energy driven atmosphere, further progressed her creative approach to clothes. Following her passion, Anya enrolled in an evening program at Apparel Arts, a San Francisco Fashion Design School in 2004. She graduated with Pattern Making and Design Certificate in June 2008 and produced her first line.
Since then Anya has been working on expanding her collection and has shown at several high profile fashion events in SF. Digital Summer event in August 2009 was covered by 944 Magazine, it was sponsored by HP, Intel and Edun Live. Autumn Attitudes show was held at an chic Posh salon in the upscale Pac Heights SF neighborhood and was sponsored by Shu Uemura Cosmetics. Anya has a stock list of selected garments at SF boutique Loft 1513 and also is a freelance designer for several private clients.
