Alena Trubaeva, a fashion designer from Moscow, moved to Amsterdam two years ago with a goal of becoming a part of the local fashion environment and to build a network within the industry. After studying part time fashion design with the Amsterdam Fashion Academy she was able to create a newly focused women’s wear collection and update her portfolio. This was indeed the start she had been looking for. Whilst studying she was able to become better acquainted with all the delicate nuances of European fashion business, and within her first internship she had the exciting opportunity to work on the Couture collection at Viktor&Rolf which was shown in Paris. Her second internship gave her the experience of becoming a part of the creative design team at a  high-end brand Karl Lagerfeld. For her, it was both a new and familiar working process. After completing the internships she is now working as a womenswear designer at Karl Lagerfeld. We wish her all the success, well done!
