My childhood memories are filled with images of bolts of fabric, sewing machines and dress rehearsals. It all started from when I would dress the mannequin dolls on the window display of “Elle”, the first exclusive boutique for women in Athens, founded by my grandfather Takis Maltezos in 1954, which then grew to multiple retail stores in Anthimou Gazi, Ermou and Stadiou. 

In 2009 I completed my studies in Fashion Design in Athens, and since then I worked as a fashion designer with various well established retail companies across Athens and within the theatre industry. At the same time, taking full advantage of my knowledge on sur measure garments, I focused on creating tailor-made attires ranging from wedding dresses to male suits. 

In 2017, recognizing the utmost value of good taste particularly in relation to a person’s psychology, coupled with 10 years of work experience I created the “Mariana Lalaouni – Bespoke Uniforms” company.

A company with a core vision to showcase the quality and taste of the work uniforms ranging in all aspects that were lacking across all industries.
