While Style Diva isn't particularly happy about hating on her own peeps, but I feel compelled to start with Olga Kvitko Couture. Ms. Kvitko, originally from St. Petersburg (yes, yes, Style Diva is an ex-communist too), apparently moved to the U.S. in 1990 and even worked as an assistant designer at Valentino and has oodles of other accomplishments. It almost hurts me to say this, but maybe Ms. Kvitko should have stuck to designing pants-a pair of which she claims were her first sale, at the age of 15.
