ABOUT ANTONINIAS
THE BRAND
The inspiration behind Antoninias was born alongside its founder Antoninias Elina Smogavc. Her personal journey sparked a vision to create a brand that celebrates the individuality and inner power of every woman, encouraging them to express their true selves unapologetically.
More than just a fashion label, Antoninias is a movement rooted in empowerment, self-expression, and purpose. Alongside spreading its message through bold and meaningful design, the brand also holds a long-standing mission to establish a non-profit initiative that supports children in need while continuing to uplift women across the globe.
“Empowered women empower women.”
The founder, a designer from Slovenia, completed her bachelor's degree in Fashion Design in her home country before moving to London to pursue a Master’s in Brand Management within the luxury sector. Her work is deeply inspired by her observations of the world, nature, and the complexity of human emotion. She places strong emphasis on the female form — designing with both strength and vulnerability in mind. Each piece tells a story of a woman who dares to dare, embodying confidence, depth, and elegance.
