Biography of Denis Simachev

The future famous designer was born in 1974 in Moscow. His parents hoped that he would follow in his father’s footsteps and become a military man, but Denis himself had a completely different view of his own future. Contrary to the wishes of his parents, he refused to enter the KGB School and preferred to study fine arts.

It took Denis ten whole years to study. In Russia, the fashion industry is not the most developed industry, so the aspiring fashion designer had to literally gather knowledge bit by bit. After graduation art school and college, Denis went to Spain to learn the basics of style at Pivot Point. Simachev spent another two years in the studio of Yuri Grymov, and then entered the Moscow State Academic Theater named after. A. N. Kosygina, choosing the direction “Clothing and footwear design”.

Just two years after completing his studies, Denis creates the Denis Simachеv brand, and already next year demonstrates the first line of clothing. First time connoisseurs high fashion We got acquainted with the designer’s work in 2002 at Fashion Week Pret-a-porter. The first successes inspired the author so much that starting next year, not a single fashion week in Milan was complete without a collection of branded clothing from Denis Simachev.

But it is not at all in the nature of millionaire Denis Simachev to stop there. In 2006, the first capital boutique “Denis Simachеv” opened. And then a bar opens and the Low Budget Family project is launched - talented amateur DJs become members of this “family”. Around the same time, Simachev’s trademark was stylization of Khokhloma painting. For Simachev, Russian motifs serve as a constant source of inspiration and he actively uses them in his work.

The active designer did not ignore such a profitable industry as television. For some time he took part in the “City Slickers” project on Channel One, acted as the host of “Fashionable Sentence”, and was also a participant in the fifth season of the “Russian Top Model” project.

Box office designer Simachev mixes records in his own bar depending on his mood. And the music for his shows is written by composer Vdovin. Nothing opportunistic - just personal. Long-term acquaintance obliges. At the request of Sobaka.ru magazine, two friends talked about topics not far from music and fashion, and also touched on the problem of fainting from lack of sleep and shameful steps on the path to fame.

Vdovin. Basically, I wanted to talk about art.
Simachev. And I wanted to grind for business. We have a problem with two points in St. Petersburg - I took this opportunity to solve it.
Vdovin. Although, on the other hand, when everyone talks about art, it doesn’t get any better... How do you feel about St. Petersburg?
Simachev. Negative. Thank God you are here, Igoryan. Thanks to this circumstance, the city wins. A very beautiful city when compared to you.
Vdovin. Do you love Moscow?
Simachev. I don't like it either. Busy city. Too much money, people, cars. Too much. And I love it when you go out and know everyone, and everyone knows you.

RECIPES OF ENLIGHTENMENT

Vdovin. What kind of jury did you say it was?
Simachev. Yes, they judged yesterday. "Admiralty Needle". Competition for young designers. By the way, it’s very cool not connected with the city.
Vdovin. Straight or homosexual?
Simachev. Mostly homosexuals. Both women and men.
Vdovin. Homosexual girls?!
Simachev. Let's call them gays: “homosexual” is some kind of criminal name. I received great pleasure from what was happening, because before this I had not slept for two days. And while looking at the one hundred and eighteenth collection, I realized that I was losing consciousness. And you need to look convincingly at collections - they are different, they do not add up to one story - you need to write them down, give comments to what you see. If I fell asleep, it would look like I didn't respect the competition or the people who invited me. But I found the strength to see it to the end, completed the mission - and, in my opinion, this was yesterday’s most serious breakthrough.
Vdovin. Do you like any of the designers?
Simachev. I liked some of the names. I would like to promote young guys. Black Label – I have a strong association. "A Clockwork Orange"
Vdovin. It feels like I’ve heard these names somewhere before.
Simachev. That's why I liked them. When in an absolutely incomprehensible list I saw a name that somehow impressed me and gave me an idea, I highlighted it and gave it good marks. Of course, it's not very professional, but I didn't remember a single look. Here are the names before your eyes. And a huge number of students. More interesting thing: The jury was international, and my assessments were very different from “theirs.” At some point I realized: it looks like I don’t understand something.
Vdovin. And what did you feel?
Simachev. Not understanding anything is one of the highest levels of Eastern religions. Although I wouldn’t say that I became enlightened.
Vdovin. How do you like the models?
Simachev. To be honest, I expected more from the models. One hundred and fifty people took part - on the Milan scale, well, you can give it a C, a solid one. Strange.

NIETZSCHE'S DIET

Simachev. Which Russian designers do you know?
Vdovin. Besides you... I know one other girl. Vika Gazinskaya. I met her recently.
Simachev. Let's call her!!!
Vdovin. Let's! (Dials number.)
Simachev. I just don’t know many people from the Russian fashion industry who produce something you can wear. Well, only Igor Vdovin, but I don’t know anyone else.
Vdovin(explains): Doesn't pick up the phone. Apparently, Vika doesn’t need this. She needs it less than we do.
Simachev. I don't think she needs anything at all. Although I actively drink it now. For example, we appeared together on the cover of one publication. I am there in the background, a shadow shareholder. With two small Russian flags. Those who understand Chinese painting will have something to think about!
Vdovin. Are you ashamed of the actions you took to become a star?
Simachev. I can tell you, Igoryanich: at the beginning of my career there were a couple of scary moments. But they harden. Like steel. Nietzsche! Is it really interesting that he ate his own shit before he died?
Vdovin. I think yes.
Simachev. He probably became enlightened, like I did yesterday in the jury.
Vdovin. Do you remember about the shit clothing project?..
Simachev. I remember. By the way, it was a good project.
