Mari Acalache

Mari is an Armenian stylist who grew up in an artistic family. Since the childhood, she developed strong manual skills and a good sensibility for colors and shapes thanks to her painter and sculptor father’s pieces of art. As a teenager, she was more interested in clothes and fashion.

Motivated by her passion, she flew to Italy in order to study styling and model making in the best schools of Padova and Milan.

Then, Mari represented Armenia during a young stylists show in Moscow, Russia. Her success motivated her to keep working on her own creation.
