Jakub Ručka

I was born in Krnov, Czechia in 1991, where I grew up and studied until I was 18. In my graduation year (2009/2010 school year) I was deciding which university to go to. I chose Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague (UMPRUM) – Fashion & Footwear Design. But the competition was big and unfortunately, I was not successful. The choice was the History of Arts in Olomouc University then. I started my studies, however, studying this subject did not fulfill me and I was looking for an alternative way to get into fashion and design. I signed up for a distance learning course at the Secondary Technical School of Fashion (SPSO) in Prague – subject “Clothing”.
