HARPER’S BAZAAR (Russia), February 2015

Fashion Designer tells about her creativity inspirations for Harper’s Bazaar Russia‘s interview.

Working on spring-summer collection… I was inspired by the Art Deco era and creativity of Rene Lalique, Jean Dupa and Erte.

I would like to play a role… in the film adaptation of «The Great Gatsby»

I don’t remember… a single poem despite the fact that my 7 years daughter studies at school

My style icon is…Jacqueline Kennedy

If a woman… feels and looks great in flat shoes so she is lucky

I switch off my TV…when I see the violence

Book which change my vision… is the roman «The horse Whisperer» by Nicholas Evans

To not forget… anything important I take notes everywhere: in a notebook stickers and album pages. It really works!

The real beauty…cannot be without intelligence

Fashionable woman… first at all should look effortless

I would love to meet with… Audrey Hepburn and Coco Chanel

Fashion is… the meaning of my life
