Before launching her own street style-focused brand, Daria worked for such luxury fashion names as Alexander McQueen and Monnalisa. A graduate of Polimoda Fashion School in Florence, Italy, Daria sat down with W Insight’s Joanna Socha to discuss breakthrough moments in her career and her approach to risk-taking.
Originally from Belarus, Daria also discussed the impact of the turbulent political situation on her career. She admitted that her approach to risk-taking was shaped by having no other choice.
“I don’t have a country where I can return, because it’s closed and it’s terrible stuff going there. I can’t stop, because everything will stop. Actually, I know that not many people will help me with what I’m doing, so if I don’t do it the best way I can, then I will not survive. There are people dependent on me. There is family dependent on me, and (…) myself (…) and my dog (…) so when you don’t have something on your back, you take risks.”
Watch the full interview, where Daria also shares some time-management tips (actually, a good night’s sleep helps) and explains how to collaborate with well-known brands and celebrities in the industry.
