Tatyana Anderson's heritage is witnessed in the detailed elegance of her luxury bedroom wear collections. Born and trained in couturier designing, pattern making and sewing in Russia, Tatyana migrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1989.
A third-generation couturier, she started sewing at the age of five, "helping" her grandmother with an evening dress for one of her many clients. She then applied her talents to suits, corsets, children's wear, evening garments and wedding gowns, but it is luxurious and sophisticated bedroom wear that has captured her passion and imagination.
Her magnificent work has been described as structured, demure and as understated opulence.
Tatyana is passionate about her new home country and her hand-selected talented team of artisans. She is dedicated to designing and producing her luxurious garments at her boutique studio here in Melbourne under Ethical Clothing Australia standards. She also works tirelessly with global artisans to take her garments to the new level of luxury. Elegant embroidery, luxurious laces, Swarovski crystals and handmade jewellery adorn her every garment with loving care.
