The
name
behind the 'Aliki Yamani Creations' label belongs to a woman,
whose
colorful fashions have captivated clients of more than 500 upscale
boutiques and specialty stores since 1992.
Aliki Gable was born in Nassau, Bahamas raised in Miami and Athens,
Greece.
These
colorful sights inspired her love for fashion and art leading to her
studying at FIT, New York's prestigious
Fashion Institute of
Thechnology. Her mother Helene and late father, Constantine Yamanis,
encouraged her to
direct her passion into a successful business and with their
support the "Aliki Yamani Creations" label was born.
For nearly two decades Aliki's quest has been to seek out the best
silks for her
fashion line. Aliki chose silk as her canvas for her unique line of
washable fashions. "It is a natural fabric, the only one that
captures the most vivid colors," she explains, "it is
luxurious, timeless and can be enjoyed year round." And so they set off
on a journey down the 'silk road', leading to the opening of
their own production facility in China, the home of silk.
In
1998 Aliki met Scott Gable of Cleveland, Ohio. After a whirlwind long
distance romance, the two married and continued in the spirit of family
business, working side by side. They have made Sarasota home for them
and their three children and the center for the development
of their company.
In 2004 Scott and Aliki diversified and began selling to
fabric
retailers and designer's of high fashion labels."We want to
grow,
but not hurt our specialty business." says Scott. "Since we work
directly with the silk mills, we can provide different types of silks
to fabric stores and other manufacturers."
Aliki
attributes much of her success to her parents. They encouraged her to
follow her dream of art by saying, "If you love
work, you'll
never work a day in your life."
