Moscow-based Tigran Avetisyan graduated from London’s Central Saint Martins in 2012 with an LVMH scholarship, and has been on the radar of international press and buyers ever since. Avetisyan is no stranger to bold statements. Whether it’s recycling past designs or launching a campaign for a fictional fragrance, the designer has never been afraid of tackling issues that affect the industry he is trying to survive in. Strong textures, inventive silhouettes, plurality of cultural references and ever-present wit make him one of the most interesting emerging designers up to date, and not just in Moscow.
