Russian Ballet Couture

Slava Zaitsev's Eccentric Moscow Fashion Week Runway

Slava Zaitsev is over 70 years old and he continues to be a Russian fashion legend. An extremely active one. This amazing haute couture collection opened Moscow Fashion Week on March 29th. It is dedicated to the 100-year anniversary of Dyagilev’s ‘Seasons in Paris.’

Sergey Dyagilev was a world-famous ballet impresario and the founder of Ballets Russes, which conquered Paris at the beginning of the 20th century. What an incredible collection (and I don’t think it’s just my weakness for the Russian Tsars speaking)!
