What: A bridal and eveningwear brand with a zero-waste mission

Price Range: $1,920- $6,600

Founder: Ou Ma

Origin Story: Designer Ou Ma's journey into bridal and eveningwear design started unexpectedly but with deep personal meaning: After studying fashion design at FIT in New York, she worked at Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. During that time, friends and colleagues began approaching her to create their wedding dresses. During the process, she discovered a love of getting to know each bride and crafting something truly unique to their story.

Starting her own business was always just an idea, but she made that dream a reality once she got married and moved to Vancouver, Canada. Transitioning from corporate fashion to creating couture bridal and eveningwear allowed Ma to combine her technical skills with her passion for meaningful design.

At Ouma, the fusion of avant-garde aesthetics and timeless elegance is at the heart of each design. Inspired by the Chinese ink paintings, poetry and symbolism, each gown carries the emotional weight of heritage while remaining effortlessly contemporary. The brand's zero-waste mission gives new life to bridal remnants through sculptural earrings and keepsake bags, offering a rare fusion of luxury and environmental responsibility.

For so many who pursue a career in design, it's the memories of watching glamorously decorated films and television shows and ornate stagings of theatrical productions that serve as their initial motivations to enter the fashion industry. While some might be inspired to create their own fashion labels, others experience a different calling. That is, to costume design. Linda Muir, the Oscar-nominated costume designer for her work on Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu," explains that the skillsets required for each career path differ. "If a person goes to fashion school, they will likely learn skills that are more geared toward creating clothing for people to go into a store and buy," she tells Fashionista. "So often, I meet people who would like to work in a film costume department, but they don't necessarily know how to do the things that, if on a period film, for instance, we would need them to do." Whether it's a period piece or contemporary, ev...

I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah – Latest Fashion Trends & Style Tips March 28, 2025 at 08:30PM

📰 I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. As it did for most early-2000s babies, Polly Pocket reigned supreme as my childhood toy of choice. Of course, my Barbie and Littlest Pet Shop collections were close contenders (and later my Monster High queens), but I cherished Polly Pocket's heart-shaped compact dollhouses with their teeny-tiny figures. Polly Pocket underwent a major makeover in the late '90s, transforming her from the cutest potential choking hazard to a slightly larger ponytailed doll with candy-colored rubber (read: chewable) clothing. It was this revamped Polly's Y2K-inspired style that influenced my own fashion sense, and now Lisa Says Gah is bringing the toy's nostalgic aesthetic to life as the California-based multi-brand retailer teamed up with Polly Pocke...

Any beauty product you see here has been vetted and tested by the editor recommending it. As we approach the official start to spring and take time to tidy up, refresh and generally reset so many aspects of our lives, I ask you: Why neglect the skin? If you're at all like me, even though you spent the winter months moisturizing dutifully, your dull, scaly arms and legs are begging for a little extra attention. Enter:  Lilis Instant Peel , the most satisfying body exfoliator I've ever tried. I first heard about Lilis — a body-care brand inspired by "Korean skin-care innovation and spa culture" — from beloved NYC facialist  Elizabeth Grace Hand, who sung its praises in a holiday gift guide we did last year . "Nothing makes the skin quite as soft as thi...
