Who are you?
My name is Yulia, I am an aspiring fashion designer currently taking a bachelor in Fashion Design at ESMOD Berlin. As long as I can remember I have always been in need of visual change. As a child I loved to redecorate my room every other week and cut into my clothes, even though I couldn't put them back together again. The need of realizing the ideas constantly popping into my head got overwhelming as I grew older, so I never really chose to create.
What are you inspired by?
I'm mostly inspired by social as well as political questions and how it is to be a citizen of our society. I think that my work often reflects my own experiences and emotions. Almost like a personal diary of the present.
What was the last book you read?
I don't get much time for reading during my semesters, but last summer I red Nina Björk's Lyckliga i alla sina dagar.
Do you have any role model?
I've never had one role model, but I do keep an eye on, and look up to, all of the extremely talented young girls taking over the creative world through social media right now!
What is your next creative project?
I got so inspired by the last book I read that my ongoing and next project is based on the same subject. I'm about to realize my first capsule collection, containing at least three looks this spring. The collection is called "Happily ever after" and is about capitalism, consumption and dreams.
What do you like about Portfoliobox?
I'm very happy to finally have a little home where my creative projects can move in. I think Portfoliobox was so easy and accessible to create a clean and personal portfolio with. And I've gotten alot of cred for it.
