Designer and Creative Director Maria Kara began her journey with an interest in art and design from a very early age, learning to draw and design. She quickly found her medium in fashion and fabrics where she would spend hours making dresses for her Barbie dolls and eventually learning to sew her own clothes. Maria Kara graduated from the prestigious Fashion Design Studio, TAFE Ultimo in 2012.
Launching in October 2020, M-KARA focuses on bold tailoring, distinctive fabrics and ultrafeminine silhouettes. Taking inspiration from art, film, fabrics and the feminine form, each piece exudes sophistication, elegance and intrigue. M-KARA has been featured in international publications including Vogue, Elle, L'Officiel and Marie Claire, with M-KARA capturing the attention of celebrities including Shanina Shaik, Lauren London, Jessica Kahawaty, Abbie Chatfield and Elisabetta Canalis.
