«We met each other in Krasnodar 6 years ago, we were studying together at the Krasnodar State University of Culture and Arts. 

In our second year we created a joint collection to take part in international competitions like "Russian silhouette", for example. That's how we qualified for the elimination round and moved to Moscow. We didn't win any prizes, but that was great experience: first, we did a collection in a short span of time, while everybody around us were working just on their degree collections; second, we had a chance to look at the backstage of a fashion show; third, we realized what a joint work means. However, we worked on our degree collections separately, which would, as we then thought, lead to our different take on future plans and own brands. 

As a result, after 2 months we ended up in the same university and even in the same group again – this time in BHSAD. Now, after 1,5 years, we realize what colossal knowledge we gained and what huge experience we had. From the first week on, you realize that this is the place of power: you grow by means of communication with your tutors, by taking part in collaborative projects. 

We decided to set up a brand called NASHE ("Ours" in Russian) together and are currently working on a final degree collection. It will be presented on men; however, we stick to the concept of gender fluidity. We are already working on the brand development, analyzing its target audience, building up our communication in social media. We are not just creating a sole clothing brand — we are setting up a project that will be based on fine art, photo and video».
