Dubai
design house offers hand-crafted evening and bridal dresses by ESMOD alumnus
Olga Nurek
The
only thing 'strange' about Victoria Strange Couture in Dubai is the work ethic
of its chief designer, Olga Nurek. Even in a city known for a rapidly evolving
sartorial scene with many designers plying their creative trade, new entrant
Victoria Strange Couture is making people sit up and take notice.
Perhaps
it's that Olga Nurek is clearly passionate about her craft. Or that her hands
on approach mean every dress is painstakingly crafted and individualised by the
trained couturier, resulting in stunningly beautiful fitted creations.
“I am
lucky in that my day job involves pursuing my first love. I love designing, and
am fortunate that I can look at any woman and immediately imagine her looking
her absolute best in one of my designs. I can see exactly what will look good
on people of varying body types, and want to bring out their most flattering
aspects," says Olga. "For me, it's also the sense of occasion that a
special gown engenders. Every time a customer walks in, I get incredibly
excited about creating the perfect wearable complement to their special
occasion."
Olga
is an award winning designer on a mission. She creates stunning gowns that fit
perfectly and enhance the beauty of any woman. It is however her work ethic
that sets her apart. She's available in person for every single fitting to
ensure each of her creations drapes to perfection. Every single nuance is
examined for an ideal fit.

Olga's
ESMOD training holds her in good stead. For over 170 years, the school has been
a bastion for designers, drafters and related professionals. The school is
known for its rigour and ability to dovetail creative inspiration with
professionalism.
"My
work ethic involves creating the best possible fit, both physically and
psychologically. I pay attention to the minutest details to ensure the gown or
evening dress fits perfectly. But I also want my clients' individualism and
personality to shine through, and try fitting my creations perfectly not just
to their physique but also their culture," Olga explains.
Victoria
Strange Couture set be one of the leading design houses in the UAE. With Olga
at the designing helm, the house is now turning its gaze towards the not very
distant catwalks and runways of Europe.
Olga will be launching her very
own design school towards the end of 2013. Victoria Strange Couture Institute
will have four programs, each consisting of three month courses. As well as
passing on her Esmod University training, Olga will be teaching her students
her own unique techniques, which she learnt through experience and practice
from the age of eight.
