Amy Winters and Kseniya Zagorodnyuk, Founders of Couture Clubbing
Couture Clubbing creates clothes for high-end nightclubs and other glamorous red-carpet events. Unique couture pieces are created for special events including fashion galas, concerts and award ceremonies.
The idea is not to follow traditional fashion seasons for their collections, as the nightclub and events scene is a season of its own with different demands, which they believe, are yet to be fulfilled. They use fabrics that react to sound, light and atmosphere which are especially suited to entertainment.
Couture Clubbing is the innovative idea brought about by two Central Saint Martins graduates Amy Winters and Kseniya Zagorodnyuk. Professionally they were trained in costume/set/art-direction, and after graduation they formed a fashion-entertainment label.
'Striding Out gave us that essential (and inspiring) piece of training in what turned out to be a supportive environment. The interactive seminars, tasks and support network of the programme helped us transform a basic idea into what is now an investment-ready business. We are now working with primary technological companies and have even been featured on Sky News. Striding Out has offered entrepreneurs like us that vital push which turns ideas into business reality.'
