Meet our founder
"The idea for our patent pending design came to me out of circumstance. Being involved in the pageant and fashion industry came with alot of events, and with those events came the expectation to “dress to impress”. Which often meant buying a new dress for each occasion. Which could end up being costly and at the end of the day that dress would be hung up never to be worn again. If you're someone who loves fashion and expressing your personal style, I'm sure you have found yourself in a similar situation. Thats why at Da Silva NYC we aim to curate a wardrobe that is not only fashionable but interchangeable and more sustainable."
-Bianka Da Silva, Founder & CEO, Da Silva NYC
