Opening Russian Fashion Week, Slava Zaitsev, The Patriarch of Russian Fashion made a haute couture tribute to Ballets Russes. His clothing was exquisite and meticulously made. “The collection is very powerful and breathtakingly beautiful. Each item is an object of art,” says Zaitsev. “It’s for those who value beauty in fashion. However, it doesn’t mean that I create clothes that are hard to wear. Despite their artistic value, my creations are functional and comfortable. I’m not a fan of abstract style in clothing. It’s boring. Besides, I have to sell my collections to customers.” –Slava Zaitsev
Furs, brocades, jewels, beading, embellishments, velvet, tassels, hand embroidery, feathers, flowers, pearls, lace encompassed his whole collection. Nothing was spared.
Red, cobalt blue, emerald green, white, brown, black and gold were the colors of royalty. Men were dressed as Kings walking down the runway. No ripple of a recession, just beauty and nothing is more refreshing than that.
