Kasia Dietz: New Yorker Turned Parisian Handbag Designer

You can’t live in one place your entire life and expect to gain anything valuable enough to
incorporate it into what you’re passionate about. Travelling broadens your perspective on the
world around you. The culture, the tastes, smells, the diverse groups of people, landscapes and
the beauty of the adventurous unknown - for a designer, travelling is essential. It was what led
me away from my hometown into the arms of Paris.
The daughter of an interior designer, I grew up around textiles. Since I was a child I would spend
hours playing with my mom’s fabrics, creating patterns and making clothes for my dolls as well
as for myself. I remember so well the feeling of creating something of my own and wearing it
with pride! It was many years later, when I dusted off my mom’s wooden prints that she had
used for T-shirts, that I created the idea of wearable art in the form of bags.
My creative and business background led me to pursue an advertising career as a Print Producer
in New York. In over a decade, I worked with many talented photographers and illustrators,
learning much about the world of commercial art, as well as developing an eye for composition.
So I moved to Paris with my love of fashion, art and design and began my handbag business.
Aside from making me stronger and more flexible, Paris has taught me a lot about doing
business in France, where quality outranks quantity. The French are much less prone to buy from
a lesser known designer than Americans are, posing a challenge when trying to build a brand in a
country dominated by big names.
One of my greatest initial challenges was finding a manufacturer. I barely had any contacts in
Paris and spoke little French. Determined, I bought a sewing machine, got to work on my
samples and asked anyone I could for local production leads. One of my fabric suppliers
provided the name of a manufacturer, et voila! I’ve been working with him, producing locally in
Paris, ever since.
I’m continuing to expand the selection and distribution of my eco-chic bag collections, as they
make their way around the world.
22. Kasia left her hometown because it was a chance for her…
A to become famous
B to purchase valuables
C to find inspiration
D to make business contacts
23. Kasia first found an interest in fashion and design when she…
A played at her mother’s textile company
B tried her hand at sewing dresses for dolls
C attempted to convert T-shirts into bags
D helped her mother restore wooden prints

24. Before becoming a handbag designer, Kasia…

A lived and worked in a number of countries in Europe
B set up her own printing company in New York City
C took courses to develop an eye for fashion design
D gained the necessary experience from specialists

25. What did Kasia learn about the fashion business in France?
A French consumers know little about American designers.
B You need the support of a famous designer to be successful.
C Working with local manufacturers makes products expensive.
D It’s harder to get into the fashion market in France than in the US.

26. What problem did Kasia have setting up her business in Paris?
A finding an interpreter
B buying quality fabrics
C hiring a local producer
D getting sewing equipment

Task 6. READING
Read the texts below. Match choices (A-H) to (27-32). There are two choices you do not need
to use. Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.

27. Century Link Field

Located south of downtown, Century Link is home to the National Football League’s Seattle
Seahawks and their notoriously loud fans (they set a Guinness World Record for noise). The
stadium is open air, providing wonderful views of downtown Seattle - at least when the weather
cooperates. And when it doesn’t, some 70 percent of the 67,000 seats are covered with a sliding
overhead screen.
 28. Richmond Olympic Oval
The Richmond Olympic Oval was built as the speed skating venue for the 2010 Winter Olympics
in Vancouver. The city made serious efforts to make the Olympics one of the greenest in history,
and this venue was a key part of reaching the goal. The building contains three levels and a
massive wood wave roof inspired by local ecology.

29. Nationals Park

Home of Major League Baseball’s Washington Nationals, this shining new stadium proudly
represents the nation’s capital by being the first LEED-certified green major sports stadium in
the United States. It features energy-efficient lighting and low-flow water, has a program for
recycling leftover hot dog wrappers and showcases a 6,300 square-foot green roof that covers the
area.

30. World Games Stadium

This beautiful, snake-like complex in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, was designed by world-renowned
architect Toyo Ito. It is one of the first stadiums in the world to provide most of its power from
solar energy. The solar panels covering the external face of the park are able to generate enough
power to keep the stadium running plus additional power that can be stored and sold back to the
grid.

31. Wrigley Field

The Chicago Cubs have called this stadium on the North Side, with its famous manual
scoreboard and ivy-covered outfield walls, home for 98 years. Named for one-time Cubs owner
and chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr., this famed ballpark has been fiercely protected
from change by its city, its owners and its fans. Lights were only installed in 1988, long after
they became a fixture in every other professional park.

32. Centennial Field

Centennial Field, in Burlington, Vt., saw its first game in 1906. The current grandstand was
erected in 1922. Built on the University of Vermont’s campus, the park is home to the Vermont
Lake Monsters. Modest upgrades like permanent bathrooms were added through the years, and
the stadium now has a video scoreboard.

Which stadium________________________?
A is supplied with an automatically movable roof
B occupies the grounds of an academic institution
C preserves the original features from the past
D was erected with recycled building materials
E is operated by an alternative source of energy
