Welcome and….
...hello! My name is Olivia Torma, the founding creator of Mooshi - Unique vintage inspired and vintage reproduction couture handmade with love. Welcome to my site.
Mooshi offers unique fashion and accessories for women seeking quality handmade vintage inspired couture that evoke the timeless elegance and crafts of bygone fashion eras.
I design original vintage inspired clothing and accessories and reproduce a small collection of vintage fashion and historical costume from authentic patterns using traditional techniques and vintage materials.
My collections are designed with the tall woman in mind who, like myself, struggles to find vintage styled couture that doesn't compromise on fit.
I take inspiration from fashion and costume design spanning the 1960's to as far back as the 18th century. My most revered inspiration is the Golden Age of Couture and one of the 20th century's most influential fashion designers, Christian Dior.
...Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity. Outside this, believe me, there is no elegance. Individuality will always be one of the conditions of real elegance."...Christian Dior
