History

As a third-year student at the Law Academy, twenty-year-old designer and aspiring entrepreneur Dmitry Shishkin registered his first Athena Pallada company and began professional activities to design and create collections of men’s clothing.

The designer presented his debut men’s collection on the iconic Russian platform — the Eurasian Fashion Week. This event was a powerful start in the professional activities of a novice businessman, because this collection was highly appreciated by viewers and professionals in the fashion and had a big commercial success.
