This is us, Agata and Adrian - an art historian and a lawyer.
A shared passion became a second job, then a way of life.
Eventually, we left our other careers to devote ourselves fully to DAMA.
AGATA
Before DAMA, I was an art historian. Today, I design our dresses.
Shape, texture, the placement of a detail: this is how I give a dress its character. The woman who will wear it gives those choices their meaning.
I want her to recognise herself in the dress she chooses and feel extraordinary wearing it.
ADRIAN
Before DAMA, I was a lawyer. Today, I run the business, look after sales and set the direction.
Agata focuses on the dresses. I bring the different parts of DAMA together. Building our team is a central part of that work.
THE BEGINNING
Our first fittings took place in our own apartment. Women came to our home to choose their wedding dresses, while we were still fitting DAMA around our other jobs.
Those meetings made a difference. Each woman who came through our door gave us another reason to take this further.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF WORK
We have never
worked more.
It has never felt
less like work.
OUR EVERYDAY
Today, we design our dresses in Warsaw. The atelier is part of the life we have built around DAMA.
Once, this was what we did when we came home from work. Now, it is where our working days begin.
THE PEOPLE
We began with the two of us. Our first team members are still with us today, in key roles across DAMA.
We have built DAMA together. Our attention to the line of a bodice and the placement of lace shapes what a woman sees, touches and feels when she puts on her dress.
