MEET THE DESIGNER

"This is a child's dream. My grandmother worked in a garment factory. When she took me to the production, I was very impressed and from that moment on I never left the thought of being in such an atmosphere again. "

MINI INTERVIEW

What is your favorite part about being a designer?
I love working on bags and accessories. By creating them I can fully apply my architectural background - from history of architecture, composition, and prototyping, to strength of materials and construction technology.

Do you wear your own - PODYH designs?
Of course! I wear all the items from the collections, but most of all I love PODYH bags, I always have one of them with me.

When are you the most inspired?
Architecture is my biggest inspiration. Walking around the city or seeing some interesting architectural object on the Internet, I immediately begin to think about how it can be reconsidered through clothing, its shape and material, what techniques and details to use to convey not only the appearance, but also the techniques and approaches of architects, the spirit of the era.

What are your social media addictions?
I think like most, there is an addiction to Instagram. For me, this is to switch attention and relax, but I would like to get rid of this addiction and find another type of relaxation.

How would you describe your artistic style?
Working on each collection, I am inspired by a certain architect, architectural style or era. I really like to work with constructivism, modernism and brutalism, where there is no unnecessary decor, each element corresponds to the idea and creates a complete composition of lines and shapes.
