Notable clients include members of British and European royal families, Helen Mirren,[1] Lady Victoria Hervey and Cherie Blair[2] among others.
Cierach was born in the British Crown colony of Basutoland (now Lesotho)[3] on 8 June 1952[4] to Polish-British parents.
Her first commission was a wedding dress for a Bahraini princess, which enabled her to establish a client base in the Middle East.
[6] Cierach entered the global spotlight in 1986, when she designed the wedding dress for Sarah Ferguson's marriage to The Duke of York.
Cierach's other notable creations include a dress made of chocolate[citation needed] and the world's most expensive abaya.
