A Creative Romance Across Continents — The Founders
Monika Soszyńska
Monika's designs resonate as emotional statements, drawing deep inspiration from the world of art and the intricacies of individuality. Her education at the famed Studio Berçot in Paris, renowned for its rich legacy in fashion design and innovative spirit, provided her with a foundation that few possess.
Elegance of Paris
Passion for Art
The institute, established in 1954 by Suzanne Berçot and later led by the visionary Marie Rucki, shaped the landscape of fashion by nurturing the designers and artistic directors of luxury houses, grounding Monika's expertise in the avant-garde.
Each piece she crafts reflects her unparalleled appreciation for Parisian sophistication and artistic intuition. Her pivotal role at Christian Lacroix Haute Couture underscores her commitment to elevated artistry and discerning taste.
Further enriching her design journey, Monika has had the distinct experience of collaborating with the renowned Iranian-French architect and designer, India Mahdavi. Today, Monika is the driving spirit of Gentle Storm, anchoring its artistic voyage in the vibrant heart of Paris.
Dominik Tarabański
From the cinematic halls of the Polish National Film School in Łódź to the vibrant streets of New York City, Dominik's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. A graduate in Direction of Photography, his keen eye bridges the world of art with the finesse of fashion in a way few can replicate.
Working between the fashion capitals of Paris and New York, and represented by the distinguished Leica Gallery Warsaw, Dominik’s portfolio features over 30 international exhibitions, with his pieces gracing private collections from Tokyo to New York, Paris to Hong Kong.
NYC's Heartbeat
Unfiltered Vision
As the Creative Director of Gentle Storm, he crafts unique narratives in both art and fashion realms. With an unwavering commitment to detail and an innate drive for excellence, Dominik's works speak louder than words, making a mark with every project he undertakes.
Our Ensemble
A Parisian Beginning and Global Inspiration
From Monika and Dominik's serendipitous meeting in Paris, Gentle Storm has grown, drawing from a world of creativity.
Our circle isn't just comprised of creators; it's filled with groundbreakers, visionaries, and those passionate about the avant-garde.
They bring depth to the Gentle Storm story, sculpting its evolving narrative.
Community & Collaboration
Fashion and art aren't just passions; they're our lifeblood.
Collaborating with friends, whom we're proud to call our muses, their influences ripple both within Gentle Storm and beyond. Their diverse talents and unique perspectives bring richness to our creations and narratives. It's their unique essence and diverse talents, long later night conversations, and time spent together, that enrich our collective vision, giving life to our creations.
All are invited to be a part. In our collaborators, we find inspiration: both in their bodies of work, and in the broad spectrum of ideas they represent. It’s a dialogue: we hold space, we exchange, and we create stories and images together. We reflect some of this practically in Gentle Storm; our wide spectrum of sizes allows everyone to find something that will suit them well.
Meet the muse. We are currently working on a series of interviews comprised of VHS content with our muses, as we like to call them. This series showcases who they are, what they represent, and how they broaden our perspectives. All those people are the core of this project.
