"Hidden luxury is true luxury"

A Parisienne with Slavic origins, Mina d'Ornano was an actress, screenwriter and director before she decided to channel her creativity into fashion: "My fashion desires came from a feeling of frustration. Never finding what I wanted to wear finally inspired me”. Inspiration and motivation are key themes behind her minaPoe creations - she is constantly on the look-out for the finest materials and has a preference for soft, luxurious and colorful fabrics, which she combines with precision and harmony.

Expanding her fashion line yearly, D'Ornano is loyal to a constant vision: "Hidden luxury is true luxury". She has thrust the art of crochet, once old-fashioned needlework, back into the foreground - her shawls are reversible, with naturalistic, intricate lace and beaded details. D'Ornano's style, a mixture of Parisian allure and bohemian splendor, offers unexpected results: her minaPoe designs have been described as a spiritual alliance between Elsa Schiaparelli and Jimi Hendrix - a mixture of glamour, raw talent and unpredictability.
