Slava Zaitsev: the Glory of Russian Fashion

Several days ago, I covered the most recent edition of Ukraine’s Lviv Fashion Week, which was launched for the first time in March 2009.

Special guest at the event was Russian couturier, Vyacheslav Zaitsev; otherwise known as Slava, which means ‘glory’ in Russian.

The organizers of Lviv Fashion Week just sent me the photo gallery of Slava Zaitsev’s 2010 autumn/winter collection, which present at the event.

I hope you enjoy the show!

“Wild Space” in the Ukraine by Olesya Telizhenko

Olesya Telizhenko was born 1984 into an artistic family in Cherkasy, Ukraine.

A graduate of the National Academy of Arts, Olesya since become known as an “ethno-modern designer,” which is evidenced by her most recent collection that she presented at Lviv Fashion Week (20-23 May).

“Wild Space” is a collection that boldly mixes natural materials and textures—all decorated with hand-stitched embroidery.

Each garment rides us across the sun-scorched grass of the Cossack Steppe, from the grey morning fog to the starry black nights.

Chocolate, grey, blue, and black undergird the color palette.

This 2010 autumn/winter collection draws particular attention to the Ukrainian male.
