What is the Kaoska fashion house? Kaoska Fashion House UK is an organization that focuses on providing opportunities for upcoming fashion designers students and creatives to explore their interest in fashion, while showcasing their artistic talents in our exclusive fashion shows. We bring together key industry professionals to provide a platform for raising talents. What does Kaoska mean? Kaoska comes from Kaos... and bringing changes in Fashion industry by unique strategic ways. When and why did you start Kaoska? Kaoska was found and launched in 2013, with an aim to provide opportunities for young and upcoming creative talents throughout the globe. I graduated with a degree in International Business and have always been interested in fashion. I trained as an actor and have modelled for numerous campaigns including JAGUAR, Topman and Samsung. I understand the industry and wanted to use my experience to help new comers. Since we started, we have supported several fashion colleges such as Royal College of Arts, London College of Fashion and Brighton University etc, and provided their students a platform to network and show off their talents to the industry. Any proud moments during your time as CEO at Kaoska? My favourite moments are when I raise fund for international charities and support and contribute them by success of the events. In 2015, our fashion show supported the children’s charity “Variety” helping children with disabilities, sickness and those that are socially disadvantaged. This year, we are showing our support to Cancer Research UK. The Kasoska Fashion show this year held during the London Fashion Week was a huge success, raising money for Cancer Research UK.
