Golden capes and prints with Zhenya Kim's dragons

IN THE WEEKLY RUBRIC "NEW MARK" Wonderzine presents young designers and tells where and how you can buy their things. Our heroine this week is young Russian designer Zhenya Kim, whose collections can already be found in the Index store.

Zhenya Kim is inspired by Asian culture, which is immediately noticeable. In the collections of the girls are dresses and capes of golden-colored fabric, fastened with many round buttons, as well as dresses and bombers with prints with dragons. The girl uses bright colors like yellow and green and makes dresses and skirts with large, frequent slits, but at the same time creates basic wardrobe items like a white shirt and a black coat. Problems with the corporate design handwriting and the commercial component of the collection from Kim just will not.

Zhenya Kim, like many designers, began to draw and sew since childhood - from the age of six. The girl was also influenced by an aunt, a fashion designer by profession, and the whole creative family. Kim graduated from Carl Faberge College and entered the famous Moscow Art Institute, from where two more heroines of the rubric, Olga Shurygina and Sasha Weider, came from. Now, a 22-year-old designer is working on a personalized clothing brand that the Index showroom, owned by Anka Tsitsishvili, Elena Chalova and Ksenia Bobrytskaya, sells. Kim plans to acquire a couple more stores and make a show at the Museum of the East. We wait.

I don’t often get to attend college, I’m always busy with something, but mom says higher education is important. I trained at Sergey Sysoev, who turned me out of the studio. I wanted to get some useful experience, and not to be a free handyman, and, apparently, he did not like my ambitions. I also worked with Vyacheslav Zaitsev. This is a great example for everyone, he admires and causes great respect. This is a man with incredible strength, professional, tactful and attentive. My own brand is about Asia in the modern world. I am inspired by antiquity, forgotten applied arts, which I integrate into clothes. I combine strict forms with femininity and sports. In clothes her overall visual perception and trifles are important, thanks to which we fall in love with clothes. Well, the idea, wearability and individuality.
