Minna Kao founded her eponymous company in 2006. The company began as a custom bridal line, and eventually expanded to bridal ready-to-wear and eveningwear. After making the first posts on Etsy.com and collaborating with the retailer, Kleinfeld, MinnaK began making its mark online in blogs and websites, such as MarthaStewart.com. A signature gown from the collection has also been featured in the Fall/Winter 2009 issue of Brides New York. MinnaK has stayed true to the concept behind this brand, which is to design gorgeous gowns that highlight the beauty of the woman.

Minna's S/S 2011 "Little Silk Dress" Capsule Collection was formed by a though: what would she wear if she had to attend an event every night? She decided that she wanted to have a little silk dress for each day of the week except for Monday. From there, she found her inspiration by studying the movement and softness of the sand dunes in the Sahara Desert.
