Atelier Milada by Ann Boogaerts

Please introduce yourself to our readers. (Who are you, where do you come from and what is your field of specialization?)
My name is Ann Boogaerts, I'm born and raised in Genk, Belgium but I have some Czech and Walloon roots. I'm a fashion designer (womenswear) with a strong passion for crafted textile manipulations and embroideries. I studied Fashion Design at the ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in The Netherlands and at the Institut Français de la Mode in Paris, France. Last year I've launched my own small semi-couture label, Atelier Milada, together with my Russian husband.
