Despite this calm image, Roksanda arrived at our Soma shoot a bit ruffled as she was running late. She’s obviously a great designer, but she was also very sweet and arrived on her own, without an entourage, carrying her dress and shoes for the photograph.

She describes how she begins to create a new collection.

“I love drawing, so that is the beginning of many styles. For others, I begin on the stand, draping fabric to create the desired shape. The fabrics are an essential part of the design phase as they are intrinsic in creating the piece.”

Thanks to Lauren Parsons and Yumi Nakada-Dingle.
