The third day of MBFW Russia was the worst. I was pretty tired after two days of running around the same place, waiting for fashion shows and having no sleep.I did not even try to look good. As a result, my outfit was a disaster and I hated that look with all my heart.
I arrived in time and watched first 2 fashion shows which did not impress me at all. Those collections were made by fresh Russian designers which studied (or still studying) at British School of Design in Moscow. I was so tired and depressed that I did not mention anything cute.
I was waiting for the one and only - Bella Potemkina. Her fashion show was at 10 pm. My friend (you know a lot about him from my previous articles) arrived at 9:30 pm. and we discussed the day. Everything was so boring. I was literally crying while watching Yasya Minochkina collection. Did you see the prints? What's wrong with silhouettes? I think they should work more on the style of the brand. Moreover, some of their dresses looked like designers took them from their previous collections. BIRYUKOV was pretty good, but I was not really impressed - nothing new. I love BIRYUKOV, but let's be honest to each other, his collection is good, but it's not good enough to fall in love with it ! I loved Laroom. Actually, I did not see the show, because I was busy, but I loved balmoral print (which reminded me of Celine fall 13/14) , but the fashion show was good.
I was really excited for Bella Potemkina. I was at her boutique few months ago and I fell in love with clothes. I loved the show, I was lucky to be a front row girl on that show, I saw a lot of Russian celebrities and just beautiful people.
The show started - at first I was not really impressed, but when the collection came up to evening dresses, I was speechless. Romantic and pure dresses with bows. Traditional Bella Potemkina emblem covers each dress as a print or as a beautiful part of the look. Her women are like ballerinas after the show, they are romantic and calm.
Fashion show ended so fast, I did not expect that. Front rowers got some cute presents - fancy iPhone 5 (not 6!) phone cases. I was so happy to be a part of that event, because I felt really proud. Russian people can make some good and inspirational clothes. It's not about where are you from, it's about what do you feel. I think Bella Potemkina will become as known as Ulyana Sergeenko in the future.
I wore Alexander Gusarov dress from one of his latest collections, River Island clutch and earrings which I found in my wardrobe ( I have no idea where did I get them from!). Also, my hair was all pink, so I mixed classic dress with freaky pink hair color and glitter.
I did not like that outfit at all but I could not change anything. That was not really MY DAY.
