About Be AK
Anastasia Kryukova believes great style should feel as individual as the woman wearing it.
With a background in couture, runway fashion, and costume design, she creates pieces that celebrate femininity, confidence, and a little unexpected edge.
Her philosophy? Fashion should make you feel beautiful, comfortable, and unapologetically yourself — without taking itself too seriously.
Meet Anastasia
The designer behind Be AK Couture.
Fashion has always been more than clothing to Anastasia Kryukova. It's a way to express personality, embrace individuality, and make an entrance without saying a word.
Born in Tula, Russia, Anastasia began making clothes at just 14. What started as a creative passion became a career shaped by couture craftsmanship, runway collections, and costume design.
From Russia to the Runway
After studying Fashion Design and Marketing at Moscow State University, Anastasia worked alongside a distinguished bridal designer, developing her eye for detail and learning the artistry behind couture.
She moved to the United States in 2006 and made Sacramento her home. Her designs went on to appear at Sacramento Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, and other runway events.
Her signature? Feminine silhouettes, expressive details, and pieces that balance elegance with an unexpected edge.
Beyond the Runway
Anastasia's creative work extends into film and entertainment.
In 2015, she contributed to the wardrobe department of Trouble Sleeping, working alongside costume designer Camille Jumelle. In 2017, she worked as a costume designer on the horror film APParition.
From runway collections to screen wardrobes and custom designs, her work has always been driven by the same idea: clothing should tell a story.
The Story Behind Be AK Couture
In 2020, Anastasia created Be AK Couture to bring her design perspective into everyday wardrobes.
Her vision was simple: beautiful, expressive fashion should be wearable, comfortable, and full of personality.
Today, every piece in the shop is an Anastasia Kryukova original — runway samples, handwoven work and one-of-a-kind designs for women who know that personal style is never one-size-fits-all.
