Who is El Mari

To be different, stylish and extravagant is in the blood of the fashion designer Mariyana Panayotova. Heritage, transferred for generations, runs through her veins - the women in her family have always had impeccable sense of elegance and exquisiteness, which turns every piece of fabric into unique clothing.

The El Mari dresses are magical interweaving of talent and imagination, fusion of skills, expressive materials, unconventional approach, feminine details and grace. In result beauty is born, irresistible for the modern woman who wishes to be ethereal, colourful, romantic or provocative, mystic and fatal, but always with a brightly expressed individuality.

The “Fist Lady” styled dress of Mariyana Panayotova won the first prize of the “Young Designer of Ogledala”, a contest of the TV fashion show “Ogledala”. “The creation of a dress is my unpredictable canvas - following the twists of the fabric I carve a silhouette with a breath of femininity and tenderness. For me, the work is an endless entertainment, a creative process filled with boundless fantasy.”
