Biography

b_150_200_16777215_0___images_stories_akuli-modi_biografiya2.jpgBorn in 1838 year

1954 - Sixteen-year-old Voronin began to professionally comprehend the art of sewing at a vocational school.

1957 - Mikhail, as the best graduate of a vocational school, is left to work in an atelier.

1959-60 - after completing the course, Voronin becomes a foreman.

1964 - Voronin works as a cutter for men's outerwear. In the same year, he managed to go abroad for the first time. Foreigners, convinced that in the USSR they do not know how to sew, they took it for an imported suit that Voronin sewed for himself. This hurt his professional pride, and, returning home, Mikhail was determined to change the situation.

1965 - aged workers ignored the moralizing of the 25-year-old 'master'. After another skeptical reaction, he made a bet that one night he would sew a winter coat (it takes 3-4 days for one master to sew, and a luxury coat is sewn up to 10 days). Colleagues locked Voronin in the workshop, and in the morning the coat was ready. Thus, the strong personality of the future master was manifested, and his authority was no longer in doubt.

The concept of marketing strategies did not exist then, Voronin applied them intuitively. After preliminary coordination of the time with each client, a clear schedule of appointments was drawn up. “Knowing when it’s convenient for someone to come,” says the master, “I hung their costumes in the booth ahead of time.” This made a deafening impression: “What a great fellow Lvovich! Look how many clients he has, but he remembers me, he even prepared a fitting in advance! This level of service was an absolute innovation for a Soviet person, and the customer had a favorable impression of the tailor.
