If you’re asking, “Who the heck is Yoana Baraschi?” don’t worry--so did I. Yoana has been a designer for over 20 years, but has quietly been producing her own line for the last nine. She left Romania for Paris after completing an arts degree, and worked on collections for Cacharel, Mugler, and Facconable. She moved to New York in the '80s and worked for some shoe designers, Guess, and then ultimately Betsey Johnson. After ten years with Betsey she took her own show on the road.
