Zhanneta Sharov was born in Crimea (USSR,now is Ukraine), on March 28, 1956, and Her family moved to Kaliningrad, USSR when she was about one year old (formerly Keningsberg, Germany till 1946). As she grew older living in Kaliningrad, Russia, she would always be designing and making clothes for her dolls. Later, she had attended sewing school while being a dancer, with a large touring ballet group, creating costumes for them. Doing so, her talent grew and grew, becoming very creative.

       Since her and her family had moved to Hawaii, she had her own shop, "Zhanneta’s Boutique & Alterations",  that offered alterations and other sewing services to the public. Later, the shop was closed after the September 11 attacks back in 2001. Though, this did not stop her from sewing! She began to follow her dream of designing her own fashion designs.

       Her daughter Victoria, also known as Vika, began modeling in 2005. After enough of  Victoria's experience throughout the years, Zhanneta decided to portray her dream,  and Victoria became the face of her line. With the help from each other, mother and daughter, ZhanVi was created..

     

       Being the artistic women of the family, Zhanneta and Victoria had come up with the logo in 2009. This was not hard as Victoria had been studying Computer Graphic Design in college, she came up with the design for ZhanVi. It represents the beauty of a woman, who is proud to be herself and feels beautiful inside and out. With Zhanneta's collections, that is exactly what she wants every woman to feel in her designs.

       Zhanneta plans to showcase her designs in Los Angeles, where Victoria now lives. She has already completed two lines: "New Years 2009" Collection, and "Victoria" Collection since her daughters move. Together, they will help make this happen. Her daughter is also networking out in California, as she is planing to have a very big show for ZhanVi when Zhanneta gets to Los Angeles. "It's going to be huge," says Victoria, "It will be beautiful, and I want ZhanVi to be recognized and remembered. Just wait and see!"

       In the mean time, Zhanneta will be showcasing her ZhanVi designs Island-wide; there is only more to come! Enjoy her collection! If you have any questions or requests about ZhanVi by Zhanneta Sharov, please visit the CONTACT ME section of this website. Be sure to sign her GuestBook!
