Born and raised in the Seattle area after school I headed down south to
Los Angeles, CA to pursue my love of fashion. Here I attended the
Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising or FIDM where I received
a AA Degree in Fashion Merchandise Marketing.
Since the small age of five I had been taking my moms old scraps of
socks and blankets and sewing clothes for my barbies or anything I could
get my hands on. So I knew at a very young age that this was the right
career for me!
After college I traveled around the country for 8 years working on
several film productions. I have done everything from constructing my
own garmets, dying & distressing fabrics, working as a costumer on
set and finally designing several feature films. I also do light hair
and makeup so I can complete the look from head to toe!
A dream of mine had always been to open up my own clothing boutique, so
in 2005 that dream came true. My shop is called ISH Vintage Clothing and
is located in Bremerton, WA. It has been a fun adventure and a big
success. I carry mens, womens and childrens vintage garmets that date
back to the early 1920’s and going through the 1980’s. Most of the
pieces in my shop have either been designed or collected by me in my
travels throughout. the years.
On top of my vintage clothing collection I also have a large stock of comtemporary wardrobe. Anything you need I have it!
In 2005 I also started working on more commecial motion picture and
print location and studio work. There is no job to big or small for me. I
am a highly organized stylist with a love for travel, adventure and
people. I enjoy working outdoors and I will always have a smile on my
face and will adapt to whatever the job requires.
Whenever Nataya’s marvelous creations are on display, a mist of wonder
hangs in the air. A myriad of details sprinkle the dress and yet it all
appears airy light while blending Belle Epoch, Baroque, and oriental
ornaments, what connoisseurs acclaim as “Wearable Art”. From Ann
Hathaway to Katie Holmes, some of the world’s most discerning women have
shined in Nataya.
At an early age Nataya showed broad artistic inclinations. At 11 she was
making her first dresses from handy materials and accessories.
Interiors are also an art and an inspiration to her, all carefully
dotted with her own paintings.
Her life began in a remote corner of the globe, in Tashkent, then the
capital of the Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan. From architecture to
craftsmanship, the place was a rare fusion of the Western European,
Russian, and Oriental influences.
After settling in California as a teenager and having indulged in a
number of art forms, Nataya finally found her strongest calling in
bringing art and passion to women’s attire - seeking to fully unlock the
glow of every woman and to make every woman exude inspiration to
herself and others. Nataya, an every day Wearable Art fashion
phenomenon, was born.
In recent years Nataya has been dividing her time between Paris, Rome,
and Los Angeles courting the muse in the fabric of beauty of France,
Italy, and California to the every day delight of women everywhere.
Amidst the extreme fashions of the 1960s & 70s emerged an
unpretentious American designer who left a lasting imprint on the
fashion world. Roy Halston, a young milliner-turned-couture king from
the mid-West, developed classic collections and classy clientele that
has since been unsurpassed. He was known for fluid and draped lines,
columnar dresses and minimalist, timeless separates that could be worn
with confidence year after year. His customers, who included Liza
Minnelli, Barbara Walters, Jackie Onassis and Katharine Graham, were
attracted to Halston's cordial and practical service. Many clients
appreciated his goal of dressing them according to their own desires,
not according to a frivolous high-fashion ideal.
Halston first began designing for the elite as a milliner, presenting
his designs adjacent to a hair salon in Chicago's Ambassador Hotel in
the mid-1950s. He was soon learning on the job under Lilly Dache` and
making hats for Oscar de la Renta, who was early in his own career at
the time. Until his last collection, Halston might have felt he was a
milliner-turned-clothing designer, as he kept two milliners on his staff
despite the minimal need for hats into the 1980s.
Halston's own first clothing collection was presented in New York in
1968, in a comfortable bohemian space unlike the purist, overbearing
architecture previously common to couture houses. He quickly became a
trusted designer and personal friend to the Beautiful People, spending
many evenings with them at the famed disco Studio 54. Halston called
this "the best show in town", as he could engage in conservation while
observing his clients (and potential clients), studying them all through
the lens of a designer.
His company blossomed in the 1970s with draped and seamless evening
wear, Ultrasuede dresses, spiral-seamed gowns, and cashmere tops &
tunics. Over time, the various Halston lines were differentiated with
Roman numerals (I through VI), and he quickly expanded his range,
creating plus-size fashions with Pat Ast as inspiration, and using the
Halston name on perfumes and luggage. Though his designs have become
classics, Halston's own success diminished rather quickly, ending with
his last personally designed collection in 1984.
