It’s hard for me to lock myself within the set boundaries of restricting occupations. Work schedules and “office cages” are unbearable for me.

When I started working on the design of my own flat, I realized that this creative streak inside me outshines everything else to a point where doing fashion becomes only one of the numerous ways to reach self-fulfillment.

After the first prêt-a-porter show, I was invited to the fashion week at the “Gostiny Dvor”, and ever since then I’ve been a regular guest at fashion defiles of all kinds.

I find every stage of the work process crucial, so I multitask, being a designer, a director, a financial controller.

A woman, who turns her job into a hobby, is truly happy.
I don’t contemplate whether what I do is right or wrong, I just follow my heart.

People don’t just go for my clothing because of the design; they come to enjoy my vivaciousness, to socialize. It’s mutually pleasant.

Whatever talent you’ve got and whatever your artistic style is, hard work is what comes first. The result we get is 1% talent and 99% hard labor.

I am easy-going in every possible way. When it comes to socializing, things like tension, spite or conflicts are just not in my nature.

I can switch from work to family really fast. It’s a perfectly smooth and refined act of separating times when I devote myself fully to my work and times when I give all of myself to my family.

Nature doesn’t inspire me. It helps me relax and relieve stress. I get inspiration when I go for a change of scenery, which definitely has to be luxury style.

Paris is my city, I’d like to have been born there. I can’t imagine myself without this capital of style.

Russia and Moscow are places where it’s very hard to do something creative. The endless circle of all the things you have to do just engulfs you.

I love looking after my health. For me it’s a fetish.
