Caryna Nina has maintained a long-standing interest in fashion. Her keen awareness of the fashion world and her ability to openly embrace the rich, beautiful and vivid colors surrounding her has allowed her to experience continued growth as a fashion designer. As the owner of a women's fashion line, she provides high-end women's clothing that is sold through retail and online store locations. She features graceful dresses, kimonos, caftans, cover-ups, coats, and day and evening wear. As a designer, she regularly creates elegant, one-of-a-kind pieces, gets customer orders made in New York, and picks out extraordinary fabrics. She particularly loves working with silk chiffon.
Raised in Greenwich, Conn. and Paris, Caryna Nina returns frequently to Europe to find inspiration for her designs. She has been designing women's one-of-a-kind clothing under her own label, Caryna Nina, for almost 12 years. She has two retail stores, one in Palm Beach and the other in Martha's Vineyard. She also has a showroom, which is by appointment only, in Greenwich. Caryna Nina worked as an assistant designer for Catherine Puget, an haute couture bridal atelier in Paris, before returning to Connecticut to launch her own line and showroom in 2000.
Caryna Nina earned a diploma in Renaissance Art History from Pepperdine, an associate degree from Parsons, The New School for Design, and studied at Studio Art Center International Florence (SACI). She looks forward to opening a store in Capri, as well as small boutiques in places that she thinks will work for what she does.
