One of the brightest and the most unusual shows was that of a famous Russian designer Tatyana Parfionova. Her clothes are so ornate and elaborate that they could easily become costumes for a theatre performance of historic films. The show could be called anything but catwalk, with opera singers and ballerinas showing their talents, alongside dresses, instead of models. The designer is showing once again her distinctive style and live for her country: she found inspiration in Russia’s rich history and art of all forms from poetry to music.
