FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
BGS: Ever since I was a little girl, I was fascinated by the way clothes were made, it was a question I kept asking myself; I wanted to learn how to turn materials into clothes, so when I turned 24 I decided to seek out the answer and learn this form of art.
FS: Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
BGS: I barely just started out, so I don't have a design studio yet.
FS: What is "design" for you?
BGS: Design for me means wearable art.
FS: What kinds of works do you like designing most?
BGS: Mostly I like designing evening gowns that stand out and are as original as they can be.
FS: What was the first thing you designed for a company?
BGS: Ready Folded-Wearable Art is my first collection, which was also my final project for the design school I studied at.
FS: What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
BGS: 7 My favorite material is lace and I'm fascinated by how it is made.My favorite technology is of course folding fabrics, which inspired my Ready Folded collection.
FS: When do you feel the most creative?
BGS: I feel creative mostly when I am at ease and surrounded by postive energy.
FS: Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
BGS: I focus on the harmony between the different aspects of the design.
FS: What makes a design successful?
BGS: In my opinion creativity and effort make a design successful. The amount of energy you put in your work.
FS: When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
BGS: I judge design based on their harmony. I look at the whole design at first and then look at it's details.
FS: Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
BGS: I draw inspiration from different cultures around the world, so I constantly try to broad my perspective by researching traditional elements.
FS: Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
BGS: I live in Romania, but by heritage I'm Hungarian and of course I attended design school in Hungary. I'm lucky enough to live close to the border, so I can experience both countries. I intend to explore my cultural heritage in my future designs. I would rather not discuss pros and cons, cause sadly there would be too much cons.
FS: Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?
BGS: I would tell them to follow their dreams and don't let anybody tell them they can't succeed. Don't doubt yourself.
FS: What is your "golden rule" in design?
BGS: Concentration and persistance.
FS: What skills are most important for a designer?
BGS: Strong drawing skills,visualization abilities and sewing skills, and also a good eye for materials.
FS: Designing can sometimes be a really time consuming task, how do you manage your time?
BGS: I try to do my designs on my free time.
FS: How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?
BGS: That depends on how complicated the design is. A complicated design could take me months, but a simple evening dress a day or a week.
FS: Who are some of your clients?
BGS: My friends and acquaintances.
FS: What are your future plans? What is next for you?
BGS: I plan to open my own studio and start work on my second collection.
FS: Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?
BGS: I develop my designs by myself. Hopefully I will have a team around me soon to help my with the process.
FS: Do you have any works-in-progress being designed that you would like to talk about?
BGS: I have, but I would like to keep it to myself.
FS: How can people contact you?
BGS: Social media.
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
