When and how did you get your
start as a designer?
I created the Anna Kara brand in 2007 after receiving my diploma from the Art and Fashion Design School in Kraków, Poland. In the same year, I opened my first boutique in a small space in the Jewish district in Kraków. Back then I was sewing my own designs in a small apartment on the outskirts of Kraków. Today, I am proud to say that my team and I have built a global, growing brand and that my gowns are loved by stunning brides in several countries around the world.
Describe The anna kara bride.
Anna Kara Bride is, above all, a conscious person—both of their own values, beliefs and desires, as well as of what they expect from the dress they choose. A contemporary romantic, wild at heart, boldly walking their path that has led them to this moment.

WhERE DO YOU FIND DESIGN INSPIRATION?
Most of my inspiration comes from nature which I feel strongly connected to, but I also feel inspired when experiencing art, watching movies, reading a book, or just observing people. Often my ideas are born in the process of designing, when one thought leads to another.

WhAt's yOUr BEST SHOPPING ADVICE FOR OUR LOVELIES?
Focus on yourself, on your needs, dreams, and desires. Be present—touch the fabrics, feel the structure, observe how the dress moves on you and how you feel wearing it. When you know, you know.
