Recently, a unique exhibition “Extending the Runway: Tatiana Sorokko Style” has opened in a renovated hall of the capital Museum of Decorative-applied arts which will last till May 10 of this year.
Tatiana Sorokko is the first Russian top model, who even in Soviet times made a successful career in the West and received international recognition. Her career began in 1990 in Paris. Tatiana was almost immediately noticed by famous French fashion designers Yves Saint Laurent and Hubert de Givenchy, whose shows she attended more than one season.
The former model Tatiana Sorokko brought to Moscow dresses which she wore at different times – thus, the exhibition reflects her views on fashion and style, but at the same time almost shows the entire history of fashion of the XX century.
One ofthe organizers of the event was the Tatler magazine, and the curator of the exhibition was Dennita Sivel, previously the director of collections in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and at the moment – the head of the fashion department in the Phoenix Museum of Art.
The exhibition represents primarily works of well-known brands such as Lanvin, Balmain, Balenciaga, Ungaro and also Ralph Rucci which are one of Tatiana’s most favorite brands by her own admission.
The exhibition brought together a lot of capital celebrities, including the organizer of Russian Fashion Week Alexander Shumsky, Nastia Vinokur, Evelina Khromchenko, Paulina Kitsenko, Danila Polyakov and many other figures of national fashion and art.
