We chat with designer Kristina Fidelskaya about being a perfectionist and the balancing act of fashion and family​
You seem to be very family oriented – how have you managed to devote time to both a successful brand and your family?
It is very important to be organised in your personal and professional life. If you organise everything in the right way then you can have the best of both worlds.
When you started the brand did you feel there was a gap in the market and something other designers were missing for women like yourself?
Yes, that is why I started the brand. I didn’t feel like there was anything practical and elegant for women to wear. Our brand is about daily life: you can have children, travel and work and still feel comfortable. This is the philosophy and idea behind our brand.
When you design your collections do you always have in mind a particular type of woman you are designing for? If so, can you describe her?
