“Project Runway winner 2013”
D
mitry speaks eloquently and confidently about
his “metier”, but becomes shy when it comes
to naming all the awards and prizes that he
received. However, it’s worth mentioning
GenART Award, Saga Furs Design Competition Award, Gap
Design Competition Award, showcase at Debut, winner of 24
Hour Cat Walk (lifetime), winner of Project Runway season 10,
amongst others.
Dmitry has shown serious entrepreneurial initiative and
accomplishments by creating his own brand Dmitry Sholokhov,
which he showcased during MERCEDES-BENZ Fashion Week
in Moscow, in March 2013. His designs will be selling in over
150 stores in Eastern Europe. Dmitry’s exclusive collection for
Lord &Taylor was presented in this US based specialty-retail
department store chain in April 2013.
When asked what made a difference in winning Project Runway and receiving all the prizes
that came with it, Dmitry says that all the allocates he got from Heidi Klum, Michael Kors
and Nina Garcia inspired him and pushed him to “make it work”, as Tim Gunn noted. His
life motto: “It’s not about winning. It’s about winning again”.
