about Dior, couture, perfection and beauty

Hi there!
How are you?
Yesterday with +Anastasya Lopatina we visited an exhibition "Dior Couture by Patrick Demarchelier" in Manezh, Moscow. If you are in Moscow and have not seen it yet you should do it asap as it will be closed on April, 3.
It was fascinating and amazing. It took my breath away when I looked at the photos with Dior's, Galliano's and Simons's masterpieces. All the dresses, all the attires are so beautiful that it takes your breath away when you are looking at them.
Two years ago we went to see another exhibition "Dior. Inspiration" and I felt the same way. Nobody can stay indifferent to the creations of Christian Dior and his successors. But yesterday's exhibition paid special attention only to those two. And so does the world.
And I want to share my thoughts about this case with you.
I thought over the changes in Dior for a while and couldn't figure out at once what was my attitude to the newcomer Raf Simons after exile of J.Galliano from the house. A lot of people were shocked by this case and most of the people, I am sure, felt that it meant the end of the magnificent era in the fashion in general, not only in Dior, because there is no one like Galliano and nobody can compete with him in creating such unbelievable marvelous clothes, though it's really difficult to call his creations "clothes".  They are much more than just real-life clothes. He created not for a real world. Galliano was of a different kind. Galliano was from the world of romantic fantasies and fairy-tales. And this epoch ended.
So, we all lived in expectations what Simons will show us. And as for me, I wasn't disappointed at all. Surprisingly. Yes, his creations are simpler. Yes, they can easily be worn in real life. In his work R.Simons wisely decided to follow Dior founder's steps not his predecessor Galliano. Otherwise, everybody would tell that he just copies or imitate the latter's works. But Simons does not copy Christian Dior's designs either. He closely inspected archives, and than, taking the best ideas and innovations by C.Dior created his own masterpieces. And he does it very well. And I am really happy and satisfied to see what he is doing. From my point of view, the reason is that he is closer to Dior than Galliano was.
And I am so in love with Dior's looks that it makes me happy. The concept of yesterday's exhibition was to show that Dior's designs, Dior's new look was, remains and will always be alive and modern. Can't disagree. Dior was a real genius to create something like this. New look silhouettes seem so simple but really, it is the best way to show perfect beauty of every woman.
And among all the looks from yesterday's exhibition my favorite was a red dress with rose-print. For me it is the best of the best.
And what do you think?

about new haircut

Hi there!
How are you?

There is no better way to tell the world that you are on the doorstep of the big changes in life than to change your haircut. Plus tomorrow is my birthday and I am tired of waiting for spring... That is true that I liked myself a lot with red hair but now I enjoy a new color too)))
Sooooo...Ta-daaam!
And looking at my latest photos I can't believe that tomorrow I will be another year older..already 23))
But it is a different story))
Have an amazing weekend!
Good luck!

about love

Love is in the air, because spring has finally come. I am really a huge fan of spring and I never get tired of confessing it.
Today I don't want to talk about something serious. I just want to show you a very cute ad. I love beautiful advertisements and especially romantic ones. And one of my favorites is the one I saw in Italian Vogue last year. This photo is full of tenderness and it is symbolised with the mood which is ruling now -the mood of expecting something big and important, the mood of love.
It is in the air and it is wonderful.
By the way, I continue practicing to draw and I want to show you my latest picture.
I wish you great LOVE with your soulmate! :)
Enjoy this day and be happy!;)

about plaids, birthday in the suburbs, Dries van Noten and Marc Jacobs.Curious?;)

Hi there!
How is your day today?
I am great! Really!
Right now I am preparing for the friend's birthday party that will take place outside the city, in a cottage with fireplace inside, forest around the house... Well, it is chilly in the street and I doubt that I will go to the forest. But the fireplace will reeeaally help me.
I have thought for a long what I gonna to wear but decided that the most important thing is not to feel cold. So, I will put on delicate pale pink sweater and plaid shirt so as to feel comfortable and cozy))))
Plaid is one of my favorites this season and always. And I am glad that a lot of designers used plaid prints in their collections: ! As you can notice, I fell in love with those outfits by Marc Jacobs for his second line Marc by Marc Jacobs and be Dries Van Noten. Speaking about the latter, his collection turned out divine! It holds your breath how he mixes prints and textures. I like the idea and am going to use it when it is already warm in my place..

Anyway, check out photos, enjoy your day and good luck! :)

about Vogue Korea and sunny photoshoots

Hi there!
How are you?
Today is a perfect day! Today is the first of March which means that spring has officially come! Yeaaaah, Panda!
I am happy too much! If you see me now, you will be surprised at all that dancing, jumping, singing by me. Just kidding. But it does mean a lot to me. Spring is a symbol of freedom, new inspiration, new happiness, new life. When air is so fresh and mild, you feel you are getting stronger and more capable of everything.
In spite of the fact that today we don't have spring weather at all, on the opposite, it is cold and snowy again (what I hate already), I am glad that winter months left us. Yeaaaah!
And to congratulate everybody with this day, I want to show you one of my favorite photo shoots ever. It is all about sun, beach and actually, it is more about summer than spring, but these photo shoots seem to match today perfectly. And I have drawn an illustration of one of the shoots again :)
These photos were published in Vogue Korea, I don't know when exactly. Not long ago, I suppose. Every time I look at them, I want to leave this cold country for some warm and hospitable place. By the way, I strongly recommend you to look at the website of Vogue Korea. All the photo shoots there are amazing and though I learned Korean several years ago, it is a pity now I can't read articles there. So only looking at pics is left for me :)
I will show you all my favorite photosets someday. There are lots of them.
Have fun and good luck today!
