THE LEGEND, THAT IS POPULAR IN ASIAN CULTURE SAYS, THAT PEOPLE DESTINED FOR EACH OTHER BY FATE ARE CONNECTED BY AN INVISIBLE RED THREAD. ACCORDING TO THIS MYTH, THE GODS TIE AN INVISIBLE RED CORD AROUND THE FINGER OF THOSE THAT ARE DESTINED TO MEET ONE ANOTHER IN A CERTAIN SITUATION AS THEY ARE "THEIR TRUE LOVE" OR IN ANOTHER INTERPRETATION, WITH PEOPLE, BEING IMPORTANT ON THE PATH OF OUR FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT. TO LOVE A PERSON (AND WE ARE NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT "LOVING SOMEONE" IN A ROMANTIC CONTEXT) SOMETIMES DOES NOT MEAN TO BE WITH THEM, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THAT "KARMIC BOND" YOU JUST KNOW - THE RED THREAD CONNECTS YOU TIGHTLY. THE STRING MAY BECOME TANGLED OR STRETCHED BUT IT WILL NEVER BREAK AND IN THE IDEALIZED ENDING OF THE LEGEND TWO SOULS WILL EVENTUALLY MEET EACH OTHER TO ENTER TOGETHER INTO ETERNITY.
THIS LEGEND SERVED AS AN INITIAL INSPIRATION FOR ME TO CREATE THIS COLLECTION, AND THINKING ABOUT HOW COULD I PUT THE IDEA OF RED THREAD INTO THE REAL GARMENT BROUGHT ME TO CREATING ​​NUMEROUS EMBROIDERY THAT YOU CAN SEE ON MANY PIECES.
HAVING CHANGED FOUR COUNTRIES OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, AFTER LEAVING MY HOMELAND KAZAKHSTAN AT THE AGE OF 17, NOTHING HAS RAISED ME more than VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE I HAD A CHANCE TO MEET ON MY WAY. THIS COLLECTION IS A TRIBUTE TO ALL THE PEOPLE (ESPECIALLY MY MOTHER, WHO WAS THERE SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING) I HAVE MET ON THE WAY, ALL THE PEOPLE WHO INFLUENCED MY DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH; PEOPLE, WHO HAVE CHANGED ME FOR THE BEST AND BELIEVED IN ME EVEN WHEN I DID NOT QUITE BELIEVE IN MYSELF.
