ARSURI. “Power Woman” Collection. This collection was born from strength, dreams, and passion. For women who dare to dream big. Who build their careers and protect their homes. Who move forward every single day, no matter what. “Power Woman” — it’s me. It’s you. It’s every one of us who chooses to live life to the fullest. In every silhouette, in every stitch of this collection, lies my story. The story of a woman who is both strong and tender. The story of a people whose culture lives in the heart — the proud Chuvash people. The traditional ornaments woven into the fabric are not just decorations; they are symbols of strength, heritage, and continuity. “Power Woman” is a capsule of endless possibilities: Four different jackets — four moods. Four pairs of trousers — ready for any day, any challenge. A pinafore dress in strict yet vivid shades. Crisp white blouses — like a fresh breeze of change. And five corsets — five inner pillars, five ways to feel your own power and beauty. This clothing is like the exoskeleton of a transformer: it becomes your armor, your support, your wings. You evolve — and your look transforms with you. You are ready for any change. You are strength. You are inspiration. ARSURI. “Power Woman”. Live. Act. Conquer

Hello, my name is Dania Cayetano Mondragón. I was born in Mexico, in a small town called Tacupa, Michoacán, and five years ago I moved to Austin, Texas. Since I was very young, I have been fascinated by fashion design. I remember wearing my mother’s shoes and bags, and taking pieces of fabric to transform them into designs for my dolls.

Throughout my life, I have been deeply inspired by nature and art, two forces that celebrate beauty in its purest form. My passion for art and fashion has led me to develop a deep admiration for the sculpture of the woman, her figure, her power, and her unique beauty, giving the best of myself with love in every process I transform.

My designs seek to glorify the sculptural beauty of the female body, highlighting its curves and lines, which nature gave us in a unique and perfect way. Each garment I create expresses freedom, love, and happiness, transforming into art and style, with the goal of making every woman feel confident, radiant, authentic, and full of self-love. Just like great works of art, my dresses seek to connect with the soul of the woman and highlight her true essence.

I first began sewing with at a very young age when I was “helping” my mom make Halloween costumes for my brothers and me. When I was 12 the two of us took a beginner sewing class where I learned the basics of this craft. The journey since then has been one of exploration. I have improved mostly by learning from my mistakes as well as a few valuable online tutorials. Through trial and error, I began developing my own patterns and experimenting with various techniques and new ideas. Slowly I began transforming a simple hobby into a passionate pursuit. The turning point came in August 2024 when I had the incredible opportunity to connect with Seseley Paige of Too Flame. I was hired to create a unique piece for her fall ’24 collection, and then 2 more pieces for her spring ’25 collection. In doing this I discovered the potential of my skills. This experience ignited my ambition, making the dream of launching my own label feel increasingly attainable. By launching the Lady Ash label I am excited to continue my creative journey and share my creations with the world.
