1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What made you change your career, from fashion model to designer?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The change has not been easy and I have worked at it for a long time. As a student, I started my career as a fashion model. In the meantime, I attended a Hotel Management School, then I graduated from the Law University before I went to the European Fashion Institute in Milan.
\nI met Versace during my stage at his atelier\u2026 I have learnt a lot from him, he\u2019s my mentor\u2026 he\u2019s a truly complete artist!
\nThen I founded my first fashion company in Romania and I was then the first fashion designer in Romania.
\nToday, I design menswear, womenswear and accessories, pret-\u00e0-porter, shoes, lingerie and haute-co\u00fbture clothes. My first atelier was founded here, in Cluj Napoca.<\/p>\n

\"Viggo<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What are the artists you draw your inspiration from?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Versace, Armani, Mugler, Lagerferld\u2026 They are the best fashion designers worldwide, they are real artists. They carefully direct every aspect of their shows, from choreography to make-up.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How would you define your brand VIGGO<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manhood, personality and elegance. VIGGO is a new menswear brand that I was honored to present here, at the Grand Hotel Italia<\/a> in Cluj-Napoca, on occasion of the Wedding Show.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0 You have made some photo shooting in ancient Egyptian sites and in some unusual places\u2026 Would you consider making a shooting in the luxury hotels of the Batani Select Hotels group, example of elegance and Italian charm?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course! I\u2019d love to! Shall we start next Monday or Tuesday? \u2026
\nI have made shootings at the Luxor Pyramids, along the Bucarest-Paris route, in New York, Iceland and Bali\u2026 I do not want to sound pompous, but I have been awarded more than 148 international prizes and 230 national prizes. I have been working in the fashion field for as long as 32 years!<\/p>\n
