Lately been interested about the Russian history and the specific clothing style they always had in there. The fall 2011 Galliano show inspired by the Russian ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev cought my attention. Most of the outfits are not my type but then there was some that I really liked, like the ones I updated here. They almost have a Slavic mythology feel in them :)))
The Russian/Slavic mythology has been lately inspiring many fashion houses, like the ChanelPre Fall 2009 show for example.
From the Russian artistic side, heres the Ilya Repin's painting ' Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks ' what I really like.
Heres Ivan Bilibin's ' The merchants visit Tsar Saltan '
The Russian culture has always been in a very distinctive way powerful, decorative and badass.Thats how I kinda like it as well.
