Dmitry Sholokhov: biography and creativity of the fashion designer

For no one is news that in most cases talented and recognized creators of art are people from the remote places. They have the reserve of will power and determination that allows them to achieve their goals. Dmitry Sholokhov, whose biography is unremarkable, is one of those who clearly understand their life purpose.

The famous American designer is of Belarusian origin. He became the winner of the popular reality show "Project Podium" due to his talent and subtle sense of style of the modern era of fashion.

Dmitry Sholokhov. Biography of the designer

So, let's get acquainted with interesting facts of life of a young couturier.

Dmitry Sholokhov is a designer and artist who was born in a small town of Novopolotsk (Belarus). He dedicated his youth to ballroom dancing. By the way, already then he independently drew, and then sewed stage costumes for himself and his partner.

Dmitri's father was a talented artist, so Sholokhov's dream was to realize himself in the design art. Nevertheless, he graduated from the Faculty of History and Philology in one of the local universities and, thanks to the student project Work & Travel, first went to the United States of America.

A little later Dmitry Sholokhov became a student of the famous Parsons school, and did not pass training in anywhere, but in Calvin Klein, Domenico Vacca and J. Mendel. All this allowed him to develop his creative abilities and skills. In 2011, the guy took part in the famous TV show "Project Podium". Dmitry Sholokhov fought for the victory with 16 young designers.

Project Runway

For several years now, many viewers have been watching with great interest the developments in the popular "Project Podium" on the Lifetime channel. The very idea of the show is original and even brilliant! Between 20 very talented designers there is a tough fight for victory and getting a material prize. From competition to competition they try to demonstrate to their spectators an unrivaled skill and talent. At the end of the project, the judges (designer Michael Kors and fashion journalist and fashion critic Nina Garcia) choose the winner, based on whose final collection was the most unique, interesting, bright and successful.

At the beginning of the program, the young man was in the shadows, almost nobody noticed him, perhaps he did not even take it seriously. Indeed, one of many. However, this did not affect his brilliant victory. The young designer managed to demonstrate his skills in all its glory and prove that he is worthy to become a winner. Dmitry Sholokhov came to the project for a specific purpose and followed it throughout the contest. Of course, there were nerves. The young man during the contest dropped about 8 kg.

The view of a talented designer on the project from the side

"I understand perfectly well that half of the project was in the background, and neither the participants nor the jury noticed me at all. The matter is that I am a person who does not try to pull on himself a blanket and does not try to attract all attention to himself. On the project, very bright, interesting and rather unordinary personalities were collected. There were many senseless actions and conversations. I came here with a specific goal, so I preferred never to interfere in squabbles and conflicts. When there are a lot of bright birds around, which constantly rustle, of course, all attention will be concentrated only on them. However, over time, they fly out of the project. Then there are actually serious people who know what they want and why they came for the transfer.

Dmitry Sholokhov is a fashion designer by vocation!

At the moment, Dmitry is in a fruitful cooperation with the well-known Belarusian company O.Jen. Exquisite, elegant, original style, unrivaled harmony of shapes, a sense of beauty, the highest quality of used fabrics in conjunction with the latest fashion trends - that's how you can characterize the brand's clothes. And it should be noted that the young man is doing his job well. However, it is not surprising.

On account of a talented designer working with the most famous and popular fashion houses that are known all over the world. A stunning victory in Project Runway brought Dmitry the starting capital, which he later used to develop his own series of Dmitry Sholokhov.

Presentation of the new brand

I would like to note that the result of creative cooperation between the leading Belarusian clothing brand and a rather successful designer from New York was an eclectic and dynamic collection, released under the label Dmitry Sholokhov for O. Jen. It impresses with its refinement, creativity and unique design. High-quality fabrics are an indispensable attribute of each model.

Collection of the designer

In the 10th season of the project the jury members noted the activities of the native of Belarus, the designer Dmitry Sholokhov. His collection is distinguished by refinement, elegance and at the same time practicality of all models. It was comfort, convenience and the ability to operate clothing in everyday life that were the victorious advantages of the young Belarusian.

Dmitry succeeds in combining fabrics of the highest quality with various textures. Among his favorite materials: leather, wool and knitwear. As a rule, the color scale is monochrome: gray, black, white, metallic, a little lemon and dark blue. All this makes his models original and unique.

Finally, we give a couple of Dmitry's phrases about such an important segment of his life as participating in the show Project Runway. He never doubted that he would be a winner. With faith in their own strength, he fell asleep daily and woke up. However, as already noted, the guy always felt that the judges of the project greatly underestimated him. That's why, when he won, it became a double victory: in the project, and over his own doubts. "The competition" Podium "was a real test for the participants in all senses. Therefore, I feel especially proud for my victory and for being able to become the best, "Dmitry Sholokhov told the Daily News.
