What she does today: Irina Tosheva, fashion designer
Irina Tosheva is always recognizable for her creations and creations, and each of her fashion stories sends a powerful message. Toseva is constantly part of projects aimed at improving social inclusion and providing better opportunities for vulnerable groups. Her new fashion collection called "Zina" is inspired by the monument "Woman Fighter" by academician Boro Mitrikeski, which honors the women participants in the People's Liberation Struggle, including seven national heroines named after the clothes.
This time Irina told us how one of her everyday life goes.
"I love the morning and the silence it brings, so regardless of my responsibilities, I always get up early.
My day starts with a walk of pets and coffee by the computer, reading fashion news and daily news. I run to the Old Skopje Bazaar, which usually wakes up around 9 am, buy what I need, usually have breakfast "on foot" and continue in a workshop to make current orders.
Noon is my time for a break with a longer walk on Mini and Blaska, along Vardar. We enjoy stroking the last rays of the sun this year, trying to enjoy myself more than looking at the phone. When the weather and my obligations allow, we walk the "whole circle" for about 40 minutes and I go back to work.
I usually spend this part of the day by the computer, at various conferences or online classes that I attend. I enjoy talking to people from all over the world, their challenges, experiences and perspectives. After lunch I return to the workshop of the last preparations before the deadline with the clients, who are eager to try on the clothes from the new collection, made to measure.
During this period I also work on the costumes for a theatrical performance, so I often go to rehearsals. I adore the theater, the energy it brings, the life on stage and that little escape from reality.
I spend the evening after the last walk watching a new episode of my favorite series. "The day usually ends with the conclusion that it is too short to do everything I have in mind."
