An original course for everyone who wants to consciously build their style and express themselves through fashion – without harming the planet. The classes will be led by Irina Dzhus, a renowned designer and stylist with an international artistic background, founder of DZHUS – a conceptual fashion brand working with cruelty-free materials. She will be joined by experts in fashion, photography, and handicraft.
