Bella-Dura®, manufacturer of high-performance textiles, recently hired MJ Ramos to be part of its merchandising and design team. With more than 20 years of expertise in the manufacturing and distribution of luxury textiles and trimmings, Ramos brings extensive experience, an impeccable eye, and design acumen to Bella-Dura.

Irwin Gasner, Bella-Dura/Wearbest CEO, says, “MJ is an exceptionally talented individual with an incredible eye and intuition for design. Her past collaborations have produced many of the best-selling fabrics and trims in production today. We are honored and thrilled to have her on our team. We are already planning some amazing things.”

Ramos has a rich textile and trimmings heritage. She began her career at Sunbury Textile Mills and later moved on to become the creator of the Highland Court brand, a luxury division of an international wholesaler. Highland Court is characterized by its signature style, which embodies livable opulence; it features elegant damasks, luminous silks, and plush textures coordinated with beautiful trims, all of which have become favorite resources for interior designers worldwide.

“I specialize in working with textile manufacturers, trimming mills, wholesale distributors, and private companies around the world. My passion is to bring these companies to the next level in their business by creating and adding new ranges of decorative products, new collections, and color stories,” Ramos says. “I am beyond excited to start working with Bella-Dura. Not only is it an amazing fabric, but its colors are limitless and vibrant (almost unheard of in the performance category), and its applications are vast. The sky is the limit with Bella-Dura.”
