Hollywood, July 28, 2006 - In March 2005, Marina Toybina took over the reigns of Glaza and re-vamped, re-energized, and re-glamorized the design house. The transformation was celebrated with a fashion show debuting Glaza’s new collection at the Montmartre Lounge.
Since the start of Glaza in 2002, Toybina and ex-partner Ashton Hirota have “stood by the art of fashion,” designing for the sake of art rather than red carpets. As a result, Glaza has continually presented timeless, pseudo-gothic couture pieces that have, ironically, attracted celebrity after celebrity.
For her new collection, Toybina has certainly embraced over-the-top couture while retaining Glaza’s renowned one-of-a-kind aesthetic and keen attention to detail. Rather than focusing on modernity, however, Toybina has reverted to centuries-old fashion for inspiration. As a result, the new Glaza collection is a showcase of 16th-century and Baroque fashions intermingled with Glaza’s classic gothic flair.
