How did the journey of fashion design begin for you?

Ever since childhood, I have loved experimenting with clothing, by re-cutting and re-sewing pieces. I would turn skirts into blouses and dresses, and vice versa. It was my favourite thing to do.

Eventually, this hobby turned in into the basis of my education, which I received at the Moscow State University of Design and Technology.

Having gained this knowledge, it was necessary to put everything to use as well.

I was so in love with fashion; the process of creating, experimenting, searching for new designs, new ideas, sketches, and that made it impossible for me to stop.
