When did you decide to become a designer?
This decision was based on my interest in industrial series of clothing to create. Clothing that appeals to a certain group of people, between which there is an invisible cohesion due to similar esthetic ideas. A shop works like a message, where you can present this worldview in the form of particular garments.
