My name is Ankia, and I'm a
qualified dressmaker and designer. In
2000 I've graduated with a diploma in dressmaking and designing. The
year after
I graduated, the training institution gave me the opportunity to assist
with
training to all newcomers in the fashion world. I've grabbed this
opportunity
with both hands, as this was a way to “upgrade” my experience.

In the meantime, I've started my own small business from home. My main
interest
and specialty was designing wedding dresses, ball dresses and special
function
dresses. In early 2002 I spread my wings, and designed for other
specialty
clothing boutiques. After a few months, I've decided to cut the
middleman out,
and started my own private studio.
In August 2006 my family and I immigrated to New Zealand from South
Africa, and
in December 2007 we opened our Boutique, Golden Gown, in
Papakura. In
early 2009 we've decided to relocate to Albany, where I specialize in
Bridesmaid dresses, Ball gowns, Evening wear, Cocktail dresses and many
more.
I was a very proud sponsor of Miss New Zealand world 2008,
Kahurangi
Taylor's evening dresses, that’s been designed and made by myself. Miss world
2008/2009 Pageant gowns, Miss New Zealand India worldwide, and
Miss Earth 2010 Lisa Davids.
