Meet the founders

Ksenia was born in a small town near Kyiv, Ukraine and has always had a knack for fashion and style.

In 2014, she received a job offer from one of the most prominent custom tailoring brands based in NYC “Clifton Charles” to help grow the company, and within the next few months she discovered her true passion - custom tailored suits. She was soaking up all the new knowledge that she got exposed to - from measurements to design and style - and soon she was confidently helping clients with their own made-to-measure pieces.

In 2017, she became a partner at a custom clothing brand “Ian Rios New York” that quickly became known for making custom suits for the NY’s premier real estate elite. The year after, she bought out her partner’s share and rebranded the company to VESTIUM in 2020.

Ksenia is a certified custom clothier from the CTDA (Custom Tailors and Designers Association) with 7+ years of experience, and with her team at VESTIUM they’re exploring the modern take of classic tailoring, for both men and women.

Ksenia is currently living NYC and continues to pursue her passion for custom tailored suits.

Fascinated by classic menswear at the early age, her style is heavily influenced by her family and trips to Hong Kong, Japan, and Europe. As a result, Dennise commissioned her first suit at the age of 16 for her high school uniform.
