Aleksandra Budnik
The childhood of this Belarusian was surrounded by batiks, sculptures and embroidery, so it was natural that her higher education lead her to art school and subsequently a post-grad degree at the prestigious National University of Art of Belarus. After an intense preparation, she attained a place there to study fashion design. During the five years of the course she developed women’s
collections, one of which was shown in the Lafayette Galleries in Berlin, participated in several competitions, and during the last two years designed and created wedding dresses. In 2006, she graduated as one of the top students, which earned her a grant to study for a year at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Barcelona, the city where she lives today.
