- Walking around in the city, do you watch people and their clothing? - Of course I do. I look at the way people dress, make their hair, and interact. This makes up the diversity of life. The thing I care least about are probably shoes. Normally I can tell what kind of person they are within the first several seconds. Then the details begin: an unexpected hairdo, a curious accessory or sweater, or an interesting t-shirt back. - How many stylish people do you notice every day? - Quite many.
- How many did you meet today, for example? - Today is rainy, so all I saw on my way were puddles‌ But people really do try to look nice in Lithuania. They are very creative, they improvise. - How would you describe your own style? - Barefoot shoemaker! I dedicate hardly any time to it. The ideas come first, then the work, and then I just want to look neat and nice, not particularly special. I keep very few pieces from my collections. Most get given to friends or sold. - When you create a collection, do you only make clothes you would wear yourself? - Yes. The whole collection goes through the filter of my personality.
