Russian couturiers and top models conquering the catwalks of Paris, London, Milan, and New York, the consumer boom, the rise of "glamour" in the 2000s and 2010s, and contemporary Russian fashion with its distinctive brands—where does all this come from in a country that lived behind the Iron Curtain for almost the entire 20th century?
This book is about the beginnings of "our" fashion, about those who dressed Soviet citizens, who forged the image of the Soviet Union abroad, about artists outside the global fashion scene, about the brilliant masters of the All-Union Fashion House (ODMO), fashion models, and the backstage of the Soviet fashion industry.
The book's author, Alla Shchipakina, a leading art historian at the Central Fashion House of the USSR, describes everyday life at 14 Kuznetsky Most Street and immerses us in the wondrous world of art that began in the sketches of dresses and suits and, after a long journey, became part of the wardrobes of millions of people.
This long-awaited reprint includes previously unpublished materials, as well as new chapters that complement the overall picture. This book is not only an encyclopedia of Soviet fashion, but also a vivid, deeply personal look at the history of the Fashion House and its protagonists.
