Her fashion is spirited, feminine and sensual with a hint of vintage, whimsy and sophistication!
And, in a nutshell ... that's why I am a fan of Yoana Baraschi fashion! I appreciate her exquisite tailoring to produce apparel to make a woman feel and look like a woman. In her early career, she trained in Paris and later tenured with Betsey Johnson. Well, you might know that I like Betsey ... so it naturally follows that I'd be an admirer of Yoana Baraschi!
Yoana Baraschi presents to the contemporary designer market a collection that is spirited, feminine and sensual. Drawing upon her 20 years of international design experience, Yoana creates clothes that reflect a woman's point of view--clothes that fit to perfection and are impeccably crafted. Add vintage references and a whimsical twist, and you've got a sophisticated and saleable collection that is perfect for ageless women who live life on their terms and dress the part.
Quick, have you heard of her ... yet?

Yoana Baraschi :: Fashion Savvy Bond Girl ...
To Feminine and Dainty Heiress
Baraschi once again master pieces that accentuate the beauty of a woman's body. While playing with the fantasy Secret Agent Team, she uses patent trim (like in the Dita Tweed Jacket and Skirt), luxe fabrics (as in the Bond Girl Dress), and black patent accented with gold chains and buttons (in the Baby Trench and Bond Girl Trench Coat). Gold chains, patent belts and sashes or overtly female satin bows emphasize the waist in vamp like silhouettes (think Dita Von Tesse) while very Mia Mod dresses and suits round off the 60's inspiration.
Baraschi includes her signature beautifully crafted tops and dresses for Fall 2007. Detailed lace such as scalloped trimmings and black embroidery finish dresses with an ultra feminine touch. Floral mosaics and patterns act as accent pieces. Warhol-esqe floral images are printed on knit, silk cotton sateen and silk wool jersey. Rose and iris images are oversized on tunics and dresses. Fabrics in pale muted tones such as oyster, pearl and rose soften the mood while a dark color palette of blood red, gray and black is contrasted with splashes of red carpet and electric blue creates a powerful color impact throughout the collection.
With this rich, multifaceted collection, Baraschi manages to intensify the focus on her muse and customer: a woman who is strong, chic and sensual, with a charming ability to laugh at herself. --www.couturecandy.com.
