Before he was a fashion designer, Arkadius wanted to be a teacher. In fact, he was at Jagiellonian University in Krakow studying to be one.

In 1994, for reasons only known to him, he packed up his bags and left for London. He entered St. Martin's, and his life had never been the same ever since.

Upon his graduation, Alexander McQueen offered him a job and Browns dedicated its entire window to his collection.

He had his first scheduled runway show at London Fashion Week, and also received a slot at the Paris Fashion Week. His "Out of the Closet" exhibit has already been featured by Sotheby's wearable art.

Known for his handcrafted detail, Arkadius is also a sharp tailor and posses a great imagination. He can create something from nothing.
