Studio RÉN was founded by Orly Lauren Doubinsky, a Shenkar graduate and Senior Technical Design Leader with 15 years of experience engineering women’s dresses to the highest global industry standards.

Her background spans luxury craftsmanship, advanced fit development, garment construction, and digital product creation. Early in her career, she refined her skills at renowned New York fashion houses including Alexander Wang and Marchesa Haute Couture, where she gained deep experience in custom sewing, couture techniques, and the construction of high-end gowns.

Her industry leadership experience includes Senior Manager of Women’s Technical Design at Gap Inc. for Banana Republic, Head of Women’s Technical Design at Marine Layer in San Francisco, and Senior Technical Design Consultant for DEREK LAM in New York City. Across these roles, she combined the artistry of bespoke dressmaking with the technical rigor, precision, and operational discipline of global production.

In 2019, Orly founded Studio RÉN as a premier online destination for personalized bridalwear, bringing together her technical expertise and design vision to create a fully online, technology-driven platform for custom wedding gowns.

The idea for Studio RÉN was shaped by a deeply personal experience in which her mother, who has both a curvaceous figure and physical disabilities, was turned away by a local seamstress, Orly designed and created multiple custom dress options herself to ensure she felt confident, elegant, and seen. That moment revealed a clear gap in the bridal market and became the foundation for Studio RÉN’s mission.

Today, Studio RÉN is built on the belief that custom bridal should be more inclusive, more precise, and more accessible. By combining couture-level garment knowledge with modern digital workflows, Orly created a new model for bridal. One that empowers women of all sizes, silhouettes, and locations to design a gown that reflects their individuality without compromising on quality, fit, or sophistication.
