The College of Technology, Modeling and Management of the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design hosted a defense of projects on the practice of professional students — future designers.

In practice, the students were faced with the task of developing sketches of a shoe collection, designing selected models, developing a manufacturing process and assembling a ready-made model in the material. All students showed a high level of professionalism in defending their projects. Thirty-two shoe collections were presented for consideration and evaluation to the teachers and guests of the event.


The defense was attended by future employers and shoe factory directors, including Yulia Matsko, founder and head of the creative workshop of leather bags, and Maria Shabanova, designer of shoes and leather goods.

The unusual designs, based on the elements of the sea, flora and fauna, colors and rhythms of the city, were made in the material by students in the laboratories of the Ƶ light industry cluster, created by the university as part of the federal project "Professionalitet". The student was provided with pads, soles and all the necessary materials to implement his ideas.
