“I want to thank Italian Fashion and Style School, in particular the “Plant Design PRO” course teacher Svetlana Lapteva, for such useful and interesting lectures about plant design and practical advice about plant design realisation. I liked everything because every lecture had a distinctive theme, and the teaching style was creative and easy to understand. Not only did I get a lot of useful content about plant design in general, but I also got specific advice about the creation of plant design compositions and their realisation in any interior style! I recommend everyone to learn more about the subtleties of plant decorating, immerse themselves in the atmosphere of plant design, and learn about the exotic world of plants with the help of the highest level professionals of the Italian Fashion and Style School.
I once again thank you for such useful lectures about plant design!
I wish you, Svetlana, and all of our teachers from Italian Fashion and Style School prosperity, worthy students, well-being, and, of course, a lot of creativity.”
