Famous modern fashion designers. The most famous designers

Russia, as a country with a specific mentality and cultural heritage, and in terms of fashion, they also never tire of taking revenge on originality from their Western neighbors. True, sometimes it seems that it would be better to gain knowledge and experience, and only then rush into the embrasure... Roughly in this vein in last decades there is a world of Russian clothing designers. We have several names that, according to the PR services of Russian fashion designers themselves, have status in the West. However, in reality it turns out that we don’t have that many designers... So as not to offend the state, we are publishing a list of those who are responsible for the Russian fashion business.

The best fashion designers of Russia

It's hard to say that the domestic fashion industry is at high level. However, the world community has long known the names of not only Vyacheslav Zaitsev or Valentin Yudashkin. The younger generation is boldly stepping on their heels and taking their places on the fashion pedestal. Who is taking Russia to a new level in the fashion business today?

The rating of Russian clothing designers is a subjective thing, because such a criterion as “creativity” is difficult to evaluate with points. And for a fan of the works of, say, Russian fashion designer Yulia Dalakyan, she will always remain in first place, despite the importance of such figures as Zaitsev and Yudashkin. It is also worth clarifying that the movement of designers in the ranking is constant. With the release of a new successful collection, a fashion designer can move up a couple of positions or go down with a collection that the public will greet coldly. Therefore, provided that about 8 collections are created per year, fashion designers move through the levels of success and significance. Of course, the level of work of Russian fashion designers is becoming higher every year, the collections are more competent and interesting. The world learns about fashionable Russia thanks to major events in the fashion world, such as Fashion Week. We decided to consider the seven most significant designers and fashion designers in Russia.

Vyacheslav Zaitsev

It seems that Slava Zaitsev has been awarded every possible award. He is both the President of the Moscow Fashion House and an Honored Artist Russian Federation, and Knight of the Order for “Service to the Fatherland”, and honorable Sir Paris and Ivanov, and indeed a great couturier. After showing his collections, he dances on the podium, collects bouquets and stormy applause. By profession, Vyacheslav is a fabric painting artist; he graduated from the Ivanovo Chemical-Technological College and the Moscow Textile Institute. Features of his collections: a fitted silhouette and a clear shoulder line, straight narrow skirts emphasizing natural feminine shapes. Zaitsev likes to use hats and large jewelry in his collection. The Russian theme runs through all the collections, expressed in sundresses, caftans and other folk silhouettes.

Valentin Yudashkin

Among our Russian clothing designers, there is only one person who was accepted into an elite fashion organization called the Syndicate of Haute Couture of Paris. What did this give Yudashkin? The opportunity to be called a House of High Fashion, Haute Couture, and each new collection he presents it to the Parisian public at Haute Couture Week. However, the designer does not stop only with haute couture collections, but also creates pret-a-porte, that is, jewelry and accessories, dishes, perfumes, shoes and, of course, women's/men's clothing and underwear. If we talk about Yudashkin’s signature moves, they are embroidery with beads, rhinestones and sequins, as well as appliqués. Valentin loves the theme of Russia and creates his works by studying Russian painting, architecture, ballet, and culture in general.

Igor Chapurin

Clothes from the Russian fashion designer Chapurin are extremely popular among wealthy middle-aged young ladies who, according to the author himself, “are able to comprehend the aesthetic subtleties of ideas.” Igor boldly asserts that not only the originality of the collection is important to him, but also commercial recognition. If things are bought, it means they are good, it means they are worn and enjoyed. The item should not lie on the shelf and gather dust. The designer’s work can be described in three words as follows: harmony, perfection and beauty. According to Chapurin himself, this is his creative credo.

Denis Simachev

One of the first times when Simachev shone brightly was his victory in the Avangard category at international exhibition MosShoes shoes. The designer has distinguished himself more than once at Parisian Weeks men's fashion and earned recognition from Europe. One of his most iconic collections were “USSR” and “President Putin”: the Soviet coat of arms, the name of a country that ceased to exist, voluminous fur hats, boots with fur. Denis himself commented: “We are from Russia, former USSR. I am aware of this, this is my source of inspiration, and now, after Russians have spent years trying to embrace the Western lifestyle and forget that they are Russian, other people are starting to realize this.” Simachev became a symbol of glamorous, clubby Moscow. His clothes are not affordable for everyone, and they are sold, accordingly, in multi-brand boutiques in Russia and cities around the world.

Andrey Sharov

Andrey - incredible versatile personality. He is not only a designer and painter, but also theater artist. He creates costumes for productions and organizes performances himself. Sharov combines the podium and theatre, cinema and television. Perhaps this is the secret of his popularity. The designer began surprising with his collections back in the mid-90s, introducing bouffant skirts and shoes with long noses, his second collection featured elements of cutlery on clothes and shoes, followed by motifs of Russian crafts and even... wooden glasses.

Yulia Dalakyan

Dalakyan is distinguished by the regularity of his collections. It seems that the inspiration of this Russian designer is inexhaustible. The main trends that can be traced in her works are the sculptural cut of clothes, emphasizing female figure. Drawing is not the goal, the form is important - this is what Julia conveys to fans of her work. Drapery, pleating and vintage style, expressed in embroidery on fabric, are the designer’s strong point. She specializes in stage costumes, so her frequent clients are pop stars.

Masha Tsigal

Incredibly in demand Russian fashion designer. The girl simply could not grow up untalented, because all her relatives were creative personalities. Let's say my grandmother, Nina Vatolina, is a master of poster graphics. There is not a person in Russia who does not know its 1941 poster “Don’t talk!” Two grandfathers are a sculptor and a painter, father is also a sculptor, and mother is an artist. Each family member achieved significant success in their activities, so Masha was doomed to success. Her collections are unusual and original. She made the first one from gramophone records, and she also excelled in the others. Once a girl presented a collection of flesh-colored suede items. The clothes had slits embroidered with red beads. This pattern resembled wounds made of beaded blood. Then Masha presented a sexy collection for liberated girls ready for a striptease. So it’s impossible not to notice Tsigal’s work.

By the way!

IN Lately Three more Russian fashion designers became extremely popular - Alena Akhmadullina, Ulyana Sergeenko and Kira Plastinina. At the same time, they are also bright social characters, about which there are many rumors, sometimes developing into scandals.

Thus, in her microblog, Ksenia Sobchak claims that for her collections, the famous Russian fashion designer Alena Akhmadullina steals ideas from fashion designer Ulyana Sergeenko. However, Sergeenko is also Sobchak’s friend, and also dresses her... Sobchak did not provide evidence that one fashion designer is robbing another. This conclusion was probably drawn from conversations with her friend.

And not so long ago, Alena Vodonaeva accused fashion designer Kira Plastinina of stealing ideas from one famous world brand. The statement was not made unfounded: photographs were even presented for comparison.

It is designers who help in the search unique image, predict what will become fashionable in the coming season. They present their vision of fashion in their personal collections. I wonder who the most famous and popular designers are? Among the most famous designers are the most expensive ones and those who consider themselves to be sexual minorities. More and more Russian clothing designers are appearing in the fashion world.

The most famous gay designers

Most fashion houses were founded by male designers. Almost all of them relate to people with gay. Some declare this openly; the orientation of others can be guessed based on their lifestyle, statements, collections created and randomly taken photos.

Yves Saint Laurent became widely known in the middle of the last century when he headed his own fashion house. Almost all his life, his partner Pierre Berger was next to him. Their relationship was officially registered shortly before the couturier’s death.

The well-known Gianni Versace did not hide his relationship with Antonio Damico, with whom he lived for fifteen years. One cannot help but mention Valentino and Jean-Paul Gaultier, Dolce and Gabbano, Christian Dior and Tom Ford. All of them are known to the world as talented designers, but their orientation is not traditional.

It has not been proven by facts, but there is a lot of indirect evidence that Karl Lagerfeld, Armani, Cardin and John Galliano also belong to sexual minorities.

The most famous Russian clothing designers

Kira Plastinina is known as a fashion designer representing youth fashion. Her debut took place in Milan at Fashion Week. A modern youth designer of not only women's but also men's fashion is Denis Simachev. His career began in 2001 with a Moscow show.

Valentin Yudashkin has been working and creating collections for more than a quarter of a century. His collections are often shown abroad. This designer's permanent collections include political leaders, stars and the business elite.

The most expensive designers

The sexy, romantic and intricate collections of Victoria's secret are loved, but these clothes are one of the most expensive. In terms of cost, the brand is in fifth place. The top ten most expensive also includes popular designers who created brands such as Gianfranco Ferre, Missoni, Gucci, and also Dolce & Gabbana.

The most famous designer in the world

Thanks to Chanel, ladies began to wear clothes in which they could feel free. All inconvenient elements of women's clothing, including corsets, have disappeared into oblivion. It was she who created a sports clothing line for women. An unquenchable thirst for freedom and self-expression prompted Coco to create a completely a new style in fashion.

As the most famous designer, one could write about Yves Saint Laurent, and about Giorgio Armani, and about Valentino Garavani, and about Jeannie Versace. Each of them deserves to be called the best. However, it was Coco Chanel who made a revolution in the world of fashion and the website has a detailed biography of this brilliant woman.

He also never tires of taking revenge on originality from his Western neighbors. True, sometimes it seems that it would be better to gain more knowledge and experience, and only then rush into the embrasure... In approximately this vein, the world of Russian clothing designers has existed in recent decades. We have several names that, according to the PR services of Russian fashion designers themselves, have status in the West. However, in reality it turns out that we don’t have that many designers... So as not to offend the state, we are publishing a list of those who are responsible for the Russian fashion business.
