Gorcenco Alina

About

Alina Gorcenco, originally from the Republic of Moldova, has made a name for herself by launching the Altagia brand, dedicated to tall women, transforming her personal challenges related to her 184 cm height into an innovative fashion business. After a solid career in finance, marked by studies in Romania and internships in Italy and Sweden, she chose to reinvent herself creatively, creating elegant and sophisticated collections that enhance tall silhouettes, solving problems such as short trousers or ill-fitting sleeves. Her brand, with a name inspired by the Romanian word "alta" (tall) and her initials, emphasizes pure elegance and attention to detail, appealing to women who turn heads. Based in Luxembourg for six years, Alina chose this multicultural environment for its rapid integration, thanks to the English language and opportunities to learn other languages, where she founded Altagia as an independent entrepreneur. Although official documents register her under the name Gorincioi Alina in France, with specialized design activities (NAF code 7410Z) in La Celle-Saint-Cloud since 2021, her main presence remains in Luxembourg, contributing to the European fashion scene with pieces designed for tall women. This context reflects a trend in contemporary niche design, where brands catering to specific body types are gaining ground in international markets. Alina grew up in a modest Moldovan environment, marked by limitations in travel and opportunities, but happy thanks to music – she played the violin – and her innate creativity. Encouraged by her family towards stability, she initially opted for finance, but her passion for fashion, fueled by admiration for designers and the desire to alter ideal clothes, prevailed. Her discreet personal life highlights a successful transition from a traditional Moldovan background to a dynamic European lifestyle, inspiring other women to turn their differences into advantages.
