How a Belarusian became a top designer in the CIS and was not afraid of condemnation
Dreams exist to come true. It is no secret that it is important to be in the right place at the right time, but when this does not happen - the tongue takes you to Kyiv.
Designer Artur Grigarovich told in an exclusive interview for the BelNovosti portal about how a family from Italy determined his future.
The Italian couple became interested in the development of a Belarusian guy from a small town after his delight at visiting the Coco Chanel showroom. The desire to create clothes and be no worse than famous designers made the guy go ahead, despite the condemnation and sneers.
Svetlogorsk Industrial College marked the beginning of Artur’s long journey to creating his own clothing line and showing it outside of Belarus.
The designer himself assures that his profession is not as brilliant as it may seem at first glance. It is a daily plowing that takes a lot of strength and energy on the way to creating one dress or jacket.
Becoming a designer is possible for anyone, the main thing is to have a huge desire in your arsenal. One of the first obstacles that the 24-year-old guy faced was the misunderstanding and condemnation of his family and friends.
However, the prospect of working at the factory seemed so ridiculous that it was easier to close your ears and not see the fingers sticking out in his direction. The faith of the teachers pushed him to participate in the Belarusian festival "Mill of Fashion", which gave a start to conquering foreign peaks and new acquaintances with colleagues in the shop.
This is a story about desires and dreams that come true if you don’t listen to smirks and go straight to your dream.
