Fashion Trends

The Volvo Fashion Week has recently passed in Moscow and according to tradition it was marked by showing a new collection of famous fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin.
Before the parade the guests visited the fair in the arcade, where many of not very well-known Russian designers exhibited their best models. Lynx fur coats were on particular demand for which fitting there was a huge queue.

Apart from “fashion market”, the guests had the opportunity to make a free make-up and take part in a professional photo shoot. However, a lot of invited celebrities were not interested in such “cultural programs” at all. The stars, as always, were occupied with small talks and demonstration of their own clothes.

Although this time Yuri Luzhkov, the Mayor of Moscow, did not personally participate in the opening of Fashion Week, as before, there were enough celebrities on the catwalk. Among the guests of Yudashkin show were not only the designer Kira Plastinina, Sergei Zverev, Vlad Lisovets, Olga Orlova, Olga Buzova and Lena Kuletskaya, but even Joseph Kobzon, Vladimir Vinokur, Leonid Kanevsky with his wives, as well as Klara Novikova and Nadejda Babkina.

If we talk about the newest collections of Valentin Yudashkin, this time the maestro created surprisingly quiet outfits, without too much glitter and glamour. Of course, the collection also included laces, openwork appliqués and sparkling gowns, but even they looked elegant and even stern, as compared with the variety of colors and splendor of previous collections of couture.
The collection included a lot of loose trousers, elegant dresses, feminine blouses, free overalls and jackets with wide shoulders in the style of the 1980′s, and fur hats brought a little traditional Russian style.
The color palette of the collection was dominated by black of grey, silver tones and at the end of the defile “Miss World 2008” Ksenia Sukhinova paraded on the catwalk in a spectacular gown embroidered with silver and sequins.
