Russian Vintage

Screen shot from Russian legendary movie of 1967 , Kavkazskaya Plennica where I have spotted some color blocking trend and retro black and white swimming suit so in fashion nowadays ... And what is amazing that it was in a country so closed for the western culture at that time...

Madame Gres @ Musee Bourdelle

This week my dream came true as I went to Madame Gres exposition that consisted of 80 outfits in a beautiful surrounding of sculptures of musee Antoine Bourdelle in 15th arr.

I ve first seen her dresses in Musee des Arts Decoratifs last autumn. I fell in love with the work. I watched the movie of the fashion show - and this was amazing , I could.t believe that it was 30-40 yers old.Her dresses are timeless. I tried to find this video again or some photos and information on the internet but there was not much ! Fortunately they made an expo of her work with a movie and i took advantage of it and made photos of all the dresses there as a memory. And I would like to share it.

I m dreaming of having a dress from her... Never seen it anywhere but museums though :/

Carven dress

A very original Carven dress, i ve seen once. It may not be seen on the photo but its a great quality print on thck silk. A unique dress that could becoume a rare vintage piece one day, shown in a museum , I believe.

Constructivism trend

I believe that with the events in the middle east, the  russian constructivism movement might revive and take a new form:

The Russian Revolution occurred in 1917. The workers and peasants seized power from Czar Nicholas II. The new Russia was not a dictatorial regime like Nazi Germany, at least not in the beginning. This was a Communist revolution, a people’s revolution. Ordinary people seized power from the royal family and tried to create a workers’ paradise where wealth would be shared equally. Design was reinterpreted within this new ideology.

Listen to this. Doesn't it  remind anything?

I believe the new trend will be born soon. In textiles, design and art.

Now, need to check on wgsn, if i m  right.

Oscar or no Oscar

Today me decided to check out the Oscar de la Renta Fall 2011 collection on style.com , widely covered by the press around the world. Seems its getting its popularity in Russia as first time i've seen the collection on some russian websites.
I really started to like the brand after two internships I did for Spring 2010 and Pre Fall 2011. The apparel is  amazing work, great embroidery, wonderful colors and always feminine and elegant .
I don't speak fashion language so far so I will make it short.
So Few things i likes. The black and white ikat print. The green .

 The electric dress . The red bracelet.

What shocked me were the models. Where all the good looking ones already gone to Paris ?  Really ugly.

 I really prefer Prefall collcetion espesially open back sweters (reversed cardigans) , bright green and bright pink .

Ta da.

This season's cravings.
