FOTINI COPELAND, In 2007, Greek-born author Fotini Copeland left behind a successful corporate career to spend three years traveling Italy and studying the construction of corsetry—her design passion—in the ateliers of luxury fashion. In 2010, she founded FOTINI, her New York-based fashion design house, with her luxury ready-to-wear dresses at the forefront. Her collections reflected femininity and strength through a realistic and wearable approach to fashion—a woman designing for women. Today, Fotini applies her expertise in design and lifestyle to help aspiring women tell their stories through their personal brand. As a personal brand enhancement consultant, her focus is on matters relating to fashion, demeanor, design, and expression capability—to inspire women to be the best version of themselves.
