I love my job for very many reasons. One of them is that I get to interview a lot of interesting people. The latest is Michael Kuleva, the man behind the fashion label Tumbler and Tipsy. His new Spring/Summer 2017 collection is entitled Creaky and Tipsy and raises awareness about arthritis. You see, Michael has lived with RA for several years and he has chosen, but kept it private. Now he’s making a public in the best possible way.

“Michael Kuluva wants to change the world, one sweatshirt at a time.

When Michael retired from professional figure skating to become a fashion designer, the 33-year-old never imagined combining his rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with his label Tumbler and Tipsy to raise awareness about the disease.

Creaky and Tipsy, his Spring/Summer runway collection for New York Fashion Week, is presented by CreakyJoints, the arthritis advocacy organization, on September 13, 2016. The new collection uses playful designs to illustrate the impact of RA and celebrate the goal of living successfully with the disease.”
