Born in the former USSR, Ludmila Corlateanu is a Bucharest (Romania) based Fashion Designer. She's been passionate about creating clothes since age 5. The first dresses she made were for the dolls but then at 8 she joined a Pattern Making & Sewing class at a local Pioneer Club where things got serious. By the age of 10 she sported clothes made by her own. There was no question as to what to do after school graduation. So when the time came she applied for the Fashion Design at the Chisinau Technological College. The College studies were very technical and the need for a more artistic approach arose. So after 4 years of traveling she choose Istituto Marangoni in Milan for her second Diploma. The knowledge gained along the years of study as well as 4 years of world traveling, were proven helpful for creation of a namesake brand "Ludmila Corlateanu" in 2007.
Everything and everyone can be an inspiration in her creation, says Ludmila. But more often then not, the characters behind the collections are the "supergirls" of today. Those whom Ludmila calls "supergirls" are the modern girls of all ages, that are open minded, dare to dream and make their dream come true. Their stories are the real inspiration.
Ludmila realizes two collections of ready-to-wear per year. She defines her style as "feminine, minimalistic, elegant and chic". So far she has exhibited at such trades as "Upside Milano", "CPD Dusseldorf" and "Pret-A-Porter Paris".
Ludmila is open to collaborations. One of them being the contribution to the "Insiders" column of the Herald de Paris, the worldwide news, information, and entertainment resource.
