I AM:
Russian living in the US;

a parent of a teenager who wears "Fidel Castro–like" attire(my own "dictator").
I HAVE:
degree in Fashion Design;
an experience in apparel production and design.
I LOVE:
fashion because it's dynamic and ever so changing;
2HB pencil because it's easy to control(unlike water colour);
Blumarine because it's a polished and oh!so Italian looking line:Etro and Pucci for their great prints and simple silhuettes;Dsquared2 for being urban and edgy;Anna Sui for bright colours,mixed textures and funky styles;vintage Cardin for clean, geometric, mod lines;
new things to do and to learn because it's exciting (writing is one of them);
Nuno Da Costa, the most talented fashion illustrator from UK,because of his use of colour;
French Vogue because it's French;
Wolfgang Joop and Jean–Charles de Castelbajac for their fresh and unigue vision.
