Few people know that one of the designers behind Emporio Armani men's
collections is a girl with Armenian roots. Rima Kazumyan is a senior
designer of the world-famous fashion brand.
Despite her busy schedule Rima Kazumyan found time to answer the
questions of the NEWS.am STYLE correspondent.
How did you start your career of a designer?
Since my early childhood, I knew I wanted to be a designer. At the age
of 11 I started taking drawing courses in Atex fashion center. This
was followed by courses of graphics, design and fashion design.
My first experience was participation in First Step competition where
I won the first prize. I was only 17 years old then. Later there
was Grand Prix of the Russian Silhouette show followed by many other
prestigious competitions and awards.
Did you like to sew clothes for your dolls as a child?
Yes, of course, just as many other girls do. But, thanks to my family,
I immediately started doing it seriously and professionally.
Where did you study?
I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Yerevan, then I studied
in London's famous Central Saint Martins College. Then it was Florence,
Accademia Italiana, Arte, Moda e Design. I also graduated from Istituto
Marangoni, fashion and design institute in Milan.
How did you get to Emporio Armani?
After graduating from Istituto Marango, I was invited for an
internship at Frankie Morello, and then to Emporio Armani. First it
was a probation period, and then I became the assistant to a chief
designer of the brand. Later I was promoted, first working as a
designer and now as a senior designer
Why did you choose men's fashion?
I think working in men's fashion now is much more interesting. Men's
fashion is developing intensively and there is more space for
imagination.
When will you present the next collection?
The closest Emporio Armani show will be at the Milan fashion week in
January next year.
What would you say about the way the Armenian men are dressed?
Unfortunately, the Armenian men are wearing one-color clothes. Using
this opportunity, I would like to encourage our men to use more bright
colors, pay attention to accessories and details. Incorrectly chosen
accessories often spoil the entire look. It is important for men to
look stylish rather than fashionable. This applies to women, too.
Find your own style, personality, and at the same time be trendy -
that is what our men should aspire. It is not very easy, you have to be
aware of the current fashion trends and have some knowledge of fashion.
When did you visit Armenia for the last time?
I usually come to Armenia for a vacation. I have a very busy schedule,
and, unfortunately, it happens not so often. But I really miss my home,
my family and friends.
And, finally what would like to wish the readers of NEWS.am STYLE?
I wish all our readers happiness and success in business and
prosperity!
