    The studio serves an international client base, including Versace Jeans, Genny, Moschino, Giambattista Valli, and Elie Saab. These partnerships reflect Mara Gabbiano’s ability to meet the most demanding technical and aesthetic standards in fashion production.

    Operations at Mara Gabbiano are designed to be agile and scalable. The studio’s equipment and workflow support everything from exclusive prototypes to small and mid-scale production runs, all aligned with international compliance and quality assurance protocols.

    The company was founded by Gabriela Zemánková, who brings together the traditions of Czechoslovak fashion and the rigor of Italian tailoring. Her professional background includes experience with global fashion houses such as Thierry Mugler and Vivienne Westwood, and her leadership reflects a balance of creative vision and technical excellence.

    Mara Gabbiano is more than a luxury manufacturer. It is a trusted partner for brands seeking precision, quality, and reliability in every garment. In a competitive global market, the studio represents a strategic blend of heritage, innovation, and highly specialized fashion production.
