In design, validity is important to me, and, in my opinion, not every design should be immediately understandable from the point of view of the idea, it certainly should reflect it, but not directly, naturally, this is a more creative approach. Therefore, I like to create, first of all, clothes (I do not do art fashion), which will not be a faceless repetition of trends, but will evoke some feelings and emotions in a person, will find a response in him. My designs are usually inspired by historicisms, which I transform into an eclectic avant-garde. When speaking about validity, I mean both the expressiveness of the forms, which requires a good command of the theme of the collection, and the choice of materials that are suitable not only visually, but also practically. As for global experience in sustainable fashion: I am a semi-finalist of the Redress Design Award 2023 and am participating in digital HFW2024 with several eco-friendly models, I also love upcycling, I even had a collaboration with the local brand Rigraiser. I really love it when life consists of diverse tasks, for example, in everyday life I combine studying, working in my specialty, teaching children the basics of design (the method is based on studying the relationship between the main areas of design), participating in competitions and fashion shows, this year I even starred in a cameo role in a fashion series.
