And where are you from originally?
St. Petersburg, Russia, but I came to USA at 17 for school so I am a dual citizen now. And right now with all of the terrible things going on in Russia, I hope that I can kind of show the world that we’re about peace and love and creating beautiful things. I am the product of two countries and I really love this country, I love this city so much.
Do you expect any major changes after showing at NYFW this season?
Well, we are expanding rapidly right now, we’re moving to a new showroom and hiring more people. We have more demand than ever before. But I’m just looking to be with more major accounts and increase visibility among specific markets.
