A few days ago took place one of the biggest events, of well-known characters of cinematography and music, such as the Met Gala.
The day after the event, all the attention is on the most prominent outfits, from well-known stylists.
At the Met Gala 2021, another name is curved, which is not as well known as the others, but for us it has a special significance.
It is about Ornela Flamuri, a girl from Albania, who turned her passion into a business, which is reaping success step by step.
With a love for the profession as a seamstress since the age of 6, Ornela was inspired by her grandmother, who practiced this profession. Then when she was 15, she was able to sew clothes for her friends and sisters.
"At the age of 23, I got married in Tirana, where I opened a tailoring shop with my sister. I have been living in America for 8 years now. The first two years I stayed in Phlidelphia, then in New York. My beginnings have been very difficult. I was the only one taking care of my two daughters, as my husband was still in Albania… "- Ornela recently confessed, in an interview for Class magazine.
"At first I applied to a strong company, where I quickly became a top manager. There I was given the opportunity to work with well-known fashion and show business figures, whose clothes were among the most expensive. I have been running my Tailoredbyornela business in Manhattan for a year now. ”
But what has Ornela Flamuri got to do with the Met Gala ?!
She had the opportunity to sew the glamorous dress of the American actress, Keke Palmer, designed by the famous stylist Sergio Hudson.
Popular media such as Vogue, Elle, Glamor, and others, talked about the actress's dress, as one of the most prominent, and among the lines is not missing the name of Ornella.
"I have always dreamed of working with famous names, but Vogue gave me this opportunity. Through Vogue, I am managing to collaborate with well-known names in the fashion world. I recently collaborated with Ana Wintour, one of the most powerful fashion figures, who also organizes the Met Gala. It was a pleasure for me to arrange Keke Palmer's dress, designed by stylist Sergio Hudson. "
In 2019, the prestigious Vogue media journalist, LIANA SATENSTEIN, wrote about her meeting with Ornella, expressing admiration for her work.
Ornela Flamuri, a not very well known name, who has a modest number of followers on Instagram, quietly but passionately, has managed today to collaborate with names that for many others are idols.
An inspirational story, where work, perseverance and passion are indicators of success.
"My goal is to open a chain of Tailoredbyornela stores. "I like the people who work, and I have achieved everything on my own."
Although Ornela is on her way to success in the US, again one of her desires is to open a store in Tirana.
"I appeal to all girls, not just those in my profession, willpower, patience and dedication open every door to success."
