"A story like mine shouldn't be revealed. My world is so complicated, so friable and can't survive without Its secrets. I am definitely born to be a Geisha but a strange power dragged me toward an unrealistic world of fashion. First time I learned that my mother was sick I was showing on international catwalks. I suffered the loneliness that night, until I remembered what my mother often said that there was greater things in my fate,"sic parvis magna"."

Iuliana Mihai in her atelier creates her dresses with passion and skills without knowing rules and time limits. The job is her life. For me the geisha is a myth, a culture, a story, a reality which I admire and I study very carefully, a chapter with whom I don't want to stop but like her I would like to be the daughter of twilight.
"Learning inspiration and creating with mastery and kindness after so little kindness, understanding that a little girl with more courage than she believed to possess, can find an answer to her prayers and can do what she always dreamed about… can this be called happiness? Maybe it is the satisfaction that everyday life supply withpower providing with creation and inspiration ...
After all, those aren't the memories of an empress, nor of a queen, they are the memories of something different, the memories about painted virtues and gratitude" ... These are the Iuliana Mihai memories ...
