Stamatina Vassilaras, fashion designer of the couture collection STAMATINA was born on the 11th of August in Brooklyn, New York. Being raised in a metropolitan city with such a diversity of people, it was not hard at all for Stamatina's fashionable imagination to take daily rides to different parts of the world.

As a young girl in the fashion capitol of the United States, Stamatina would hold a pencil in her hand and sketch dresses before she was even old enough to realize that this was her passion. As she pursued other avenues in life, Stamatina always felt incomplete. The years passed and as the desire to share her creativity grew Stamatina finally decided to start her fashion studies at Katherine Gibbs College, in New York City.

After six months, Stamatina moved to Greece where her roots are from. She was always inspired by Ancient Greece and wanted to experience what it would be like to actually live in Athens. Finally, she had the opportunity to feel and see what it meant to live in Greece. Stamatina once again started her fashion studies from the beginning at Veloudakis Private Fashion College in Athens. Once the school year was over, a contest came to the designer's attention, "Young Fashion Designer of the Year". With not much thought since the deadline was only a few hours away, Stamatina took her designs and immediately entered them into the contest. A few days later, she was asked to design in front of the instructors and within hours, Stamatina had won a scholarship to attend IEK AKMH Private College in Athens, Greece.

During her studies in IEK AKMH, she had the pleasure of going to Paris Fashion Week with her school.

Stamatina was captured by the beauty of Paris and became even more determined to touch the lives of others through her designs. She moved back to the United States in 2007 and within a year, she had her first of several fashion shows. These events opened doors for the young designer such as sponsoring charity events, being featured on the internet, and seeing two special people winning their pageant titles in Stamatina LLC gowns.

In 2010, Stamatina is introduced her line, Black Pearl by Stamatina. A line so chic and simple yet so elegant and sexy. Black Pearl by Stamatina will is available online for purchase through www.sicaria.com.
