ABOUT
Vicky Ann Xuereb, born on May 1st, 1966, in Sydney, Australia, is a distinguished dressmaker and fashion designer whose passion for the craft blossomed at an early age. Raised in the picturesque village of Xaghra on the serene island of Gozo, Vicky grew up surrounded by the gentle hum of sewing machines and the vibrant hues of fabric in her mother Maria’s dressmaking atelier.
Maria, a skilled dressmaker herself, became Vicky's first mentor, passing down not just the technical skills of sewing but a deep love for the artistry of fashion.
HISTORY
As a child, Vicky’s creativity was boundless. She spent countless joyful hours cutting fabric remnants to design and sew imaginative outfits for her dolls. By the time she reached her teenage years, she was already crafting her own wardrobe—a testament to her blossoming talent.
Her journey as a professional dressmaker began at the remarkable age of 14 when she welcomed her first client in 1980. That pivotal moment marked the beginning of a lifelong career defined by craftsmanship, creativity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Over the years, Vicky's expertise expanded to encompass a wide range of fashion projects. From charming children's clothing to elegant evening wear, intricate bridesmaid dresses, and stunning bridal gowns, her creations have graced countless special occasions. Her talents extend beyond traditional fashion; she has also lent her creative vision to theatre productions and extravagant carnival costumes, showcasing her flair for bold and imaginative designs.
