VOLKHONSKAYA
Brand DNA
Sensuality and inner strength, refinement and grace, all embodied in the most feminine wardrobe item—the corset.
Concept
Corsets are at the heart of the Volkhonskaya brand for a reason. This wardrobe element transforms the way a woman feels about herself: her posture straightens, and her walk changes. In a corset, a woman feels she can bring all her ideas and dreams to life. Maria pays special attention to fit, material quality, and craftsmanship. Each model undergoes dozens of adjustments, checks, and fittings, and is personally tested by the designer. This meticulous process means that creating each corset takes 2–3 weeks, but the result serves its owner for many years.
Brand History
Maria grew up in a creative, theatrical family, spending much of her childhood behind the scenes in theaters and film studios, expressing herself through clothing from an early age. At 16, she firmly decided to pursue a career in fashion and costume design, beginning her education in the field. Since 2015, at the age of 18, she has worked in theaters and as an assistant to designers, helping organize and run fashion shows, photoshoots, and international fashion exhibitions. She has created looks for Fashion Weeks in Milan, Paris, Moscow, and Yekaterinburg. After gaining experience, skills, and confidence, Maria fulfilled her childhood dream during the 2020 quarantine by creating her own brand.
