This is Moscow based designer Vika Gazinskaya as seen in Paris right before the Gareth Pugh show. I'd recommend popping into her site for a minute to check out her theatrically powered catwalk video.
This is Elissey Kostsov (pronounced the same as Élysées in Champs- Élysées), Fashion Director of Citizen K Russia and Vika . It was fascinating to listen to Elissey tell me about the challenges the Russian fashion industry faces as an up and coming nation in the global fashion industry.
A profile view of Vika's always amazing hair.
I realize that Paris Fashion Week is already over a week past us, but I have so many shots backlogged from there that some are just too good to keep to myself. This shot of the ambiance at the Paris shows is one of them. Beyond the photographers storming Emmanuel Alt, you have the tourists on the left admiring all the action, the pigeon in the background flying away and the pigeon in the right foreground watching all the action too. All four of the latter define life at the Jardin des Tuileries: editors and stylists, photographers storming the stylists and editors, tourists in the background, and pigeons!
Miroslava Duma, "great pic...the girl, the style, the expectation of something good-looking up into the clouds"
Miroslava Duma, "funny beautful and shy girl...but she shouldnt hide THOSE awesome legs))) ...the bag is gorgeous"
Miroslava Duma, "I love this as a closer since it shows her genuine reaction to the rain she s been expecting at first pic)) it shows that she is still a small child in her heart and that is so wonderful)"
For those of you that don't already know Taylor Warren, she's been photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth for VOGUE Gioello, starred in an Urban Outfitters catalog, and has appeared in numerous other fashion magazines.
And for those of you that might not be aware of her, Miroslava Duma is a well known editor from Moscow whose work started at Harper's Bazaar Russia and is now a contributor to L'Officiel Russia, Glamour Russia, the style section at Russian OK Magazine, and Tatler Magazine Russia. She also has a huge humanitarian heart and is currently spending time with a foundation to help people with mucoviscidosis. Beneath each photo, you will find Miroslava's editorial thoughts as she "thinks out loud" while organizing the photos.
Big thanks goes to Taylor for the shots and Big Hugs to Miroslava for taking the time to look through the photos!
