The collection is dedicated to legendary actresses of the 1940s, Marika Rokk, Lyubov Orlova, Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo, the press service of the Valentin Yudashkin fashion house told RIA Novosti. These remarkable women inspired the famous designer to create his new collection.
According to Mr. Yudashkin, the theme of the 1940s is highly popular today. "This is a memory of our favorite wartime movies which we have known since childhood," he noted. In his new pret-a-porter collection the Russian couturier used the basic ideas and images having adapted them for modern women.
Clear-cut shoulder and waistlines, combination of different fabrics and dimmed colors make the basis of the collection.
Classical three-piece pantsuits and women's tuxedos remind us of brilliant Marlene Dietrich. Cocktail dresses with a trim waistline, flower ornaments on short jackets and coats revive femininity and glamour of the 1940s.
Thin wool, cashmere, tweed, silk, chiffon and velvet dominate the Yudashkin collection.
The Fashion Week in Milan is one of the most important fashion events forming trends of the next season. Famous European fashion houses present their pret-a-porter collections in Milan.
