Elena Vilkova: «I was more impressed with the whole process of preparing and decorating our stand at the CPM exhibition. A new and useful experience that can not be obtained everywhere. We completely immersed ourselves in the field of design, had the opportunity to learn from more experienced designers, see new technologies, fabrics. And, of course, I am overwhelmed with pride that our collection is presented at this largest and most prestigious international exhibition.

Anna Makarova: «I can boast that after studying at the School of Design «ArtFuture» I got my first orders, and in the near future I plan to create my own brand and open my own fashion design studio. In my collection, in addition to the covers, I used a raincoat and a decor made of pieces of leather.

Alexandra Vinogradova (Bobrova): "When creating the collection, our project managers played a significant role, I observe a huge leap in my professional development. It was the first time we worked as a team. In her collection, in addition to covers, she used completely different objects and materials: brushes, spray cans, masks, sticks; she was looking for inspiration, including in stroymarkets. Thanks to the ArtFuture Design School, this is not the first time I have participated in competitions and exhibitions abroad, the biggest impression was made by a trip to Japan, where I also went from School. Their fashion design is space! And the designer constantly needs to follow the latest trends and trends.
