Expert Opinions

1. What is your opinion on the contemporary professional fashion of CIS (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Kazakhstan...)? What are the main goals for Fashion Weeks organizers to achieve?

Well, at this time I cannot really say something particular about fashion in CIS countries, as I’m not familiar with it. But I hope to get to know it in the nearest future. 
As for the main aim of Fashion Weeks organizers, I strongly believe that it’s a very good approach to gather together fashion lovers from different parts of the world. It’s also an “Avenue” to learn, to grow and to network for designers like us!
 
2. What do you think about the tendency, that nowadays many designers prefer to participate in Fashion Weeks outside their own country (country where they work)? A Fashion Week: should it be national (only with national designers) or international (with guest designers from other countries)

I believe Fashion Weeks should be open to anyone from any country. It assists to economic growth of the host country and it promotes the exchange of cultural values and reconciles world class styling. It’s a great thing and it should go on!

3. Do you visit Fashion Weeks? Could you name the Fashion Week with the highest level of organization?

New York Fashion Week for sure!
 
4. Do you know anything of Belarusian fashion? Would you like to visit our Belarus Fashion Week? Do you know the organizers of BFW? What are the main qualities of the working group that organizers a Fashion Week? Could you wish something to Belarus Fashion Week?

From the little I know about BFW, I’m convinced that the Organizers are up to the task to pull off a great show, judging from the previous seasons of BFW (I saw the photo shoots and videos). Also, I wish and pray that they grow bigger and every season do some unique and professional show. Good luck!
