In 2011, I was first time in Łódź, Poland. I was in an export internship. I lived in Poland also in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
I visited the Akademia Sztuk Pięknych, which is the Fashion Academy in Łódź.
Some of my photos from Łódź:
What to know about the Manufaktura?
Nowadays, Manufaktura is one of the biggest malls, shopping centers, and leisure complexes in Europe.
What was before the Manufaktura? A huge textile factory. It was the heart of the textile, that connected Paris and Moscow.
How did it start?
"In 1835, Kalman Poznański and his one-year-old son, Izrael, moved to Lodz from Aleksandrów Łódzki. Kalman owned a market stand at Stary Rynek in Lodz, where he sold various spices and fabrics. During that time, the Lodz industrialists grew in money and power - as the Russian market for fabrics, mainly cotton, increased. When Izrael Poznański inherited his father's company, he also decided to reshape and expand his business. He bought the plots around Ogrodowa Street, where he built the weaving plant in 1872. During the next 25 years, he expanded to a new complex consisting of weaving plants, spinning mills, a bleachery, power plant, finishing plant, dyehouse, warehouses, fire station and a company store. He also built houses, a hospital, a school and a community centre and canteen for thousands of his workers.! - https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/Manufaktura
