About me

Hello! I am Daria from February First fashion design and illustration studio, nice to meet you! February First fashion illustration studio was part of Vogue Italia Talent selection in 2020. I worked as fashion designer, embroidery designer and illustrator for brands like Gucci, Patrizia Pepe, Vika Gazinskaya. Together with my sister I have started the slow fashion brand February First 5 years ago and our garments were worn by Johnny Weir and Lady Gaga. February First collections were also part of editorials for Vogue Italia and Blanc Magazine. I have started my education in the Academy of Arts in Russia. After 3 years in the Academy where I was studying painting, drawing and sculpture I have decided to work in fashion and continued my education in Paris (Atelier Chardon Savard) and London (St Martins College of Art). Finally I have received MA degree (fashion design) in Florence, Italy where Linda Loppa was my tutor. Illustration and design is my big passion, I create technical drawings for fashion, all kind of fashion sketches, textile designs and package design for fashion. I am constantly working for trend agencies and creating illustrations for trend books. I am also open for hourly consultations considering fashion design, manufacturing, brand aesthetics and graphic design approach for start up brands.
