Send Anna Wintour: Dima Manki is one of the most promising Russian designers to follow.

Recently, local brands are rapidly gaining acceleration, weight and importance. Almost every week, the fashion arena emerges new players with great ambition and bright abilities. We always watch such projects closely, we will definitely convey you to the names of Anna Wintour, which you should definitely know.

Our current hero is only 20 years old, studying at the HSE Design School and is still working on student collections. However, it was already able to attract the attention of the challenging fashion industry and its main representatives. Trying, thinking differently and doing no one is not afraid to do no one yet. Musya Totibadze, Artemy Lebedev and Alla Sigalova were shot in the images of the writing and the agency’s models went to Lumpen’s anniversary show. And we are sure that this is just the beginning. Today, we offer to know the young and very talented designer closer and to find out what he is dreaming about, who inspired and who is equal to.

My way started with entry to HSE Design School. Before that, for me, fashion was more interest, I just started to get into it. I didn’t know how to stand or cut, my skills were limited to manual embroidery and knitting.

I have a strong desire to create my own brand, an autonomous world with its logic and atmosphere, not just a series of clothes. However, I understand when I was in the formation phase. First of all, it is important for me to get experience, to work in other teams, to understand production and system. In the meantime, I learn new techniques, mastery and I’m looking for.

I was very impressed with the work of Alexander McQueen, Kei Kagami, Melitta Baumister, Dilara Findikoglu and Jonathan Anderson. But I find the most living and close in the graduation collections of young designers. They feel the search, sloppy honesty and innovation.

Experiment. Viral Escape.

I am interested in everything fantastic and unrealistic. Therefore, my approach is based on an experiment. I love to identify a difficult task for myself, to break down, and to find a way to transfer the idea to others. I want to argue with the usual clothing physics and create things to help you feel in another world.

Corset with tripods built for ring lamps. It was a way of literally illuminating the body and transforming a person into an autonomous media object. I am interested when it interacts with clothing technology and becomes installation.

Blue jeans. I just hate them, I haven’t been wearing them for more than five years. Because of their simplicity and daily lives, they question any conceptuality you work for.

Atems Lumpen, one of my student collections, participated in the anniversary show. It was an important experience that the idea of education becomes a part of the show and became a part of the show.

This cannot be called failure. This is a very painful experience. One of the collections was created around the slime theme. I tried to put him in clothes. Everything went perfectly during the preparation phase, but in the final, the material refused to work. I had to use the colorful adhesive that I poured into a taxi in the studio, flowing from the structures. It was just a disaster. While trying to record the collection in front of the exam somehow, I continuously sealed the holes with tape and glue.

It is important to feel time and say something of your own. Find a balance between relevance and personal expression.

I will defend the diploma collection next year. I hope that working on it will be a point of concentration and clarity for me, and I hope it will help to understand more goals and focus on my own way.

The language I talk to with the truth. This is a way to say that it cannot be expressed in words.

First of all, I would enter Parsons, Fit or Central Saint Martins to deepen my knowledge. In parallel, it will begin to prepare a large show with the next launch of the brand. Not just a show, I want it to have a plunge performance in the atmosphere. Such a show will be published in theaters as a film or event that goes beyond the podium.

I recommend Anna to be a model. This will be both an expression and a good viral stroke.

I like to work with visual memories. I used to go back to my idea, complete and bring it to the nonsense point.

At first I wanted to name concrete names, but then I noticed that I would admire something really strong, there must be something bad in the world. The world is full of contrasts.

I can’t name it, but the tendency in the sky is not close to me. Associated with school shirts. They are as a symbol of restrictions and imposed frames for me.

With a childhood photo or a breast. I love personal, honest, naive prints and I try to give me such t -shirts to my friends.

Gabriella Bekhtel. I sincerely admire him. His beauty also has solid, oddity and power.
