Growing up in Markham, Ontario, designer Paolina Russo never imagined she would have a career in fashion. Now, her graphic knitwear has even caught the eye of Adidas.
As a Canadian from Markham, Ontario, designer Paolina Russo never imagined she would have a career in fashion. “Growing up in the suburbs, I didn’t know anyone who was a designer or even worked in fashion,” she says. Even so, Russo, who is now based in London, still grew up with an innate desire to create—and she often had to get creative in order to produce the ideas floating around in her head. “I always made my own clothes,” she says.
. “I worked a lot with reclaimed materials: recycling shoes and sneakers into corsets and dresses,” she says., an experience that further shaped her as a designer. “I got to work really closely with him on the Artisanal team,” Russo says. “Seeing him develop a collection from beginning to end was inspiring, and it really helped me imagine for myself how I would do it.
