Polina
Yakobson
Fashion Designer,
Costume Designer &
Personal Stylist
My career spans fashion, haute couture and film.
After studying BA Fashion Design at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, I continued my studies in MA Fashion Design Womenswear at Central Saint Martins in London.
I have worked with leading fashion houses including Alexander McQueen, Iris van Herpen, Gareth Pugh and John Rocha, with experience across London Fashion Week and Haute Couture in Paris.
My work extends to stage costumes and celebrity wardrobes, including projects involving Björk, Daphne Guinness, Enya, Laura Whitmore and Lady Gaga.
I also established my own luxury fashion label, creating one-of-a-kind leather jackets with intricate hand embroidery and artisanal detailing, presented and sold in Paris to private collectors.
In film, I have worked as a Lead Costume Designer and as part of on-set costume departments on productions featuring prominent British and Irish actors, bringing an understanding of character, silhouette and visual storytelling to the screen.
Today, through THE WARDROBE COACH, I bring this experience to private clients, translating the principles of couture, proportion and design into a personal approach to dressing.
Style, to me, is an expression of individuality — never simply a reflection of trends.
