Katerina Bocci
This Albanian-American designer has spent her career creating one-of-a-kind, glamorous dresses for all members of a wedding party including brides, mothers of brides, bridesmaids, and flower girls.
In addition she designs couture evening gowns for women (including television news anchors) in the US and abroad.
Born in Albania in 1974, Katerina was raised by an artist father and a very hard working mother. Her passion for clothing design began as a young girl – always surrounded by a needle and scissors – making clothes for her dolls. It was obvious from the beginning that she was very talented and it became her dream to enter the fashion industry.
After getting married, and with the support of her husband, Katerina attended the SITAM School in Padova, Italy. There she met Sr. Maria Ottavia who immediately became her mentor, inspiration and friend. Upon graduation Katerina opened her own fashion studio in Albania, and was the Director of the tailor school organized from CIFIR DI BARI, ITALY.
In 2001 Katerina came to America (according to her, "My promised land!") and quickly became recognized for her one-of-a-kind creations. She opened her home studio working one-on-one with women and building a faithful clientele and a prospering business. Since then she has designed dresses for different photo shoots (such as Art Van Furniture), been featured in Hour Detroit Magazine and Style.
She also designs suits for local TV newswomen including Lila Lazarus and Rhonda Walker.
In 2007 Katerina opened the biggest fashion design studio in Michigan, - a 3200 square- foot facility in Shelby Township. There you will find everything you need – custom couture bridal gowns, evening gowns, cocktail dresses, elegant suits and coats. All of Katerina’s clothing is custom-fitted and fashioned from luxurious fabrics and fine imported laces and silks. Her clothing is elegant, and classic, designed to fit women in all the right places. Katerina says: "I design to make a woman feel like a woman, feel a silky touch on her skin, show her curves to her loved one.”
