BA (Hons) Product Design and Development for the Fashion Industries: Clothing
Having being inspired by my grandfathers craft work, I joined a Russian art school at the age of 8. Here, for the first time I was introduced to the process of expressing myself through art. It was through this experience that I came to value my, at the time, hobby and realise the importance it would have to my future education. I moved to London about six years ago, to dedicate myself to my studies and my future career. Due to my Russian upbringing, cities like St Petersburg and Moscow inspire me. I've admired the true Russian culture and the detailed craftsmanship of Russian art, ever since art school. Fashion Illustration, films and photography are also my main interests and a big source of inspiration. I love the work of creators such as Quentin Tarantino and David LaChapelle for their daring style and the love of colour.
