DI: What are your future plans for this award winning design?

: I print my designs in several pieces trying to do all of them unique. I don’t print one motive without changes for many times. I will print them for a small edition and realize in some clothing stores.

DI: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?

: About three months from idea to realization in material.

DI: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?

: Textile is one of the most necessary things in people’s everyday life: clothes, interior textile, linens and etc. Scarfs, headscarfs and tippets are used all over the world. I like to work with textile – it is very “warm”, soft and plastic material. I’m inspired both of motives for my print and fabric itself.

DI: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
