YANINA COUTURE Spring Summer 2016 | Short Edition | Paris Couture Fashion Week

The Swan Princess A young girl - a romantic dreamer passionate about ballet - has become the icon for the new spring collection of Yanina Couture fashion house. Love for faraway France, "Russian seasons" and Russian art traditions has been transformed into mysterious and at the same time culturally tangible images from the new collection. Once upon a time in Moscow there lived a girl who was dreaming to find herself in the most important performance of her life. She used to cut out the reproductions of paintings by prominent artists - Serov, Repin, Bryulov, Borovikovsky and store them preciously in the neat piles. But her favorite painting - -Vrubel`s The Swan Princess - was hanging on the wall above her bed. Next to it there was Anna Pavlova`s portrait in the dying swan`s image and the famous Serov`s sketch to La Sylphide ballet with the pale, disappearing silhouette of the outstanding ballerina The girl has gained her lofty manners, her ideas and principles from the Russian classical literature, while her ideals of love are obviously taken from the French novels! Flaubert and Balzac, Zola and Maupassant accompanied the girl in her youth and first affections. That was the time when she fell in love with faraway, charming, mesmerizing France. She used to imagine how Diaghilev seasons would again come to life and the Russian beauties would charm all Europe with their dignity and grace. She was waiting for the performance.
