FOUNDATION
I was born in Azerbaijan and named Naila, which in Arabic means “the achiever.” After earning a Master’s in Applied Arts in 1996, I began working as a florist and later as a decorative metal designer. In 2005, my creative path switched to women’s made-to-measure fashion.
EVOLUTION
At 33, I moved to Prague with two sewing machines and started from scratch. No assistants, no shortcuts — just years of hands-on work that shaped my brand and my authentic voice. After 14 years of dedication, burnout pushed me to pause and reflect.
SYNTHESIS
In 2021, my passion for French cinema and creative writing led me to filmmaking. It helped me rediscover my purpose and write my first screenplay. Today I combine diverse skills with creativity, offering tailored creative consulting and decoration services.
