For the same reason, Anna has had her fair share of interest in fashion from a very young age. When she was only 15 years old, her father inspired her more into this field, and following the same, she started exploring more about fashion.

So, let’s check what’s changing for Anna and what’s next for her after she decided to step down from her position.
