About Us

ARIELLA & AYANA

Born from a mother-daughter bond — and a shared closet.

When Ayana kept raiding Ariella's wardrobe for "just one more dress," they realised something: style doesn't have an age limit, and glamour shouldn't require a designer price tag.

Founded in London in 2023, ARIELLA & AYANA is a brand built for the modern mother and daughter duo — and every woman who refuses to choose between timeless elegance and her budget. Whether you're 25 or 55, heading to a wedding or a wine bar, you deserve to feel like the best-dressed woman in the room.


The Founders: Where Architecture Meets Artistry

Ariella brings over a decade of experience as a professional makeup artist, with an eye for colour, texture, and what makes a woman feel truly confident. She taught us that beauty is about enhancing what's already there — never hiding it.

Ayana, with her architectural background, approaches fashion like she approaches design: with precision, structure, and an obsession with clean lines. She believes every piece should be intentional, versatile, and built to last.

Together, we blend artistic vision with architectural discipline — curating collections where every silhouette flatters, every fabric feels luxurious, and every detail is considered.


Our Philosophy: Timeless Glamour, Accessible Luxury

We don't follow fast fashion trends. We curate investment pieces that transcend seasons — the kind of dress you'll reach for year after year, the two-piece set that works for brunch and boardrooms, the occasion wear that makes you feel unstoppable.

What guides every piece we select:

  • Timeless Over Trendy — Classic silhouettes with a modern edge. No "one season and done."
  • Quality You Can Feel — Premium fabrics, impeccable construction, attention to every detail.
  • Versatility Built In — Pieces that transition from day to night, casual to formal, work to weekend.
  • Architectural Precision — Clean lines, flattering cuts, structured elegance.
  • Artistic Soul — Rich textures, sophisticated colour palettes, editorial-worthy styling.
  • Accessible Price Points — Luxury aesthetics without the luxury markup. Because glamour should be attainable.

Our Commitment to You

  • Curated with Intention — Every piece is hand-selected by Ariella and Ayana. If it doesn't meet our standards for fabric, fit, and timelessness, it doesn't make the cut.
  • Quality First — We partner with suppliers who share our commitment to craftsmanship — premium materials and construction that lasts.
  • Customer-Centric Service — Free worldwide shipping, flexible returns, and a team that genuinely cares. Email us at info@ariellaandayana.com — we're here to help you find your perfect fit.
  • Size Inclusive — XS to XL and beyond, because style has no size limit.
  • Transparent Pricing — No hidden fees, no surprise duties, no games. What you see is what you pay.
  • Community Over Exclusivity — We're building a space where mothers and daughters, friends and sisters, can celebrate fashion together.
