Unique Russia, my day 3

It was not a day 3 for everyone, it was just a day three for me. It was a start ofEthnic fashion program, focusing on heritage and friendly differences between various people of Russia. It is an issue for many people here that the differences are not embraced and even among the majority of people of Russia various habits, cultures, languages and traditions are not supported and seen as wrong, while on the Russians (Slavic people) are seen as real Russians and only their culture is appropriate. It is a very important day to me as well being a minority. Today I want to show the collections from Tatarstan region (and I highly recommend to take a look at the first six costumes because after all this a blog of a Tartar girl) and Bashkotostand region (both by Millihasite group), Tyva (two different shows), Sakha (north Syberia) and Bryansk (a collection of typically seen as "from Russia"), there also was a collection from fellow Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan (the latter from Happy Bird Atelier is more of the modern look to the roots). I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Bashkotostan

Dancers with fans. Irkutsk







Kazahstan





Sakha, also known as Yakutia


Tyva, designer Ay-Dash-Sat


Bryansk






Tyva region.

My outfit is mostly about the vest I worn differently this time. Thankfully this skirt is roomy enough to accommodate thick knitted vest and a shirt easily and comfortably. I paired the looks with neutral shoes and a bag. I find the outfit cute really and it doesn't go with ethnic styles but generally I do think trying to fit in traditional style keeping it comfortable for photo-work is too tricky. Well.. I'd totlly be outshined by proper dresses on a catwalk anyway.


I was wearing:
Jil Sander boots
Calvin Klien bag
Lusio skirt (Russian brand)
H&M vest
Unqlo white shirt
Calzedonia tights 

Have a nice day,
Lyosha

  9. I left Russia 30 years ago, none of this was even in the making. It's fascinating to see how far these former USSR republic went their own cultural way. Stunning outfits.

    1. to be brutally honest all of these style are way older than USSR. Surely in USSR period nobody should have been different comparing to the 'party standard' but it's very hard not to embrace who you are because you can not just fit in that easily, being different by birth. The reason why people try to speak up about it if the harm USSR did to ethnic cultures.

  13. It really is wonderful seeing fashion and history from various cultures. Until now I didn't even know about Tartarstan and their culture. This really was educational and i'm proud to say I for sure learned something new today.

  17. I love the costumes of the Tatarstan Region! That's great that you chose to highlight them since that culture doesn't receive as much attention from the majority of Russians.

  21. When I saw this, I fangirled. I'm fascinated with all things Russian, and seeing these stunning costumes, particularly the deep orange and red/maroon ensemble, is truly wonderful. Also seeing the Bashkotostan and Kazahstan collections - it's incredible how we can tell which group they belong to just on the design of their outfits.

  23. I will be the first to admit that I know next to nothing about Russian culture, so this was really neat to see, and it makes me want to go research and learn more about it all! Your outfit also looks amazing. It has such a classic feel to it, and I love it.

  27. It's beautiful to see these ethic and traditional designs and costumes. The Tatar costumes with their bright colours are stunning but all of these traditional designs are beautiful in their own way. I have always loved folklore and national costumes. It is great you were able to visit this event that shows fashion and culture from different ethnic groups in Russia. Do you have any books to recommend about Tatar culture? I have watched some Youtube videos about Tatarstan region and their music/culture. I know that the Soviet Union didn't look kindly on minorities and often suppressed their culture. I have recently read a novel Zuleikha (otvaraet glaza ) by Guzel Yakhina.
    P.S. I didn't know you were a minority.

    1. I read Zuleikha too and enjoyed it a lot! It's pretty awesome you read it in different country, I didn't know the book was translated. As a tatar I can't really recommend books on traditions because I never needed it first place as my family is very traditional, for example, my first language is tatar not russian. Actually, I even look very typical for my nationality, very average. In fact both Soviets and modern day Russia is not kind to minorities, I was bullied in school for that, I even had issues on the streets with aggressive people.

    2. I'm very sorry to hear that you were bullied for it. That's horrible. I know that it was a problem in Soviet times but hoped things were better now. However, the fact that books like Zuleikha are popular in Russia (and other countries) must be a good sign. Possibly there will be changes for the better and minority cultures will get the respect they deserve. I read Zuleikha it in a Croatian translation (I think). It could have also been one of the languages used in BIH, they are quite similar. Would you recommend the TV series? I haven't seen it.

  28. Wow so many different cultures represented! Love the jewel colors of the Aspara Kazakstan. The teal dress with the sunburst is my favorite

Explore Starcon

I'm going to brake up vacation post series to share the Starcon experience. A week ago I was sitting on the same spot and getting ready to go. We've been to lovely Saint  Petersburgh. We managed to have a charming walk in the  evening even right after the con. Starcon was all about sci-fi and we loved it so much. We even wore the Jedi costumes (wait for them in the end of post). Max, my lovely husband, sewed them for only 3 days (that's why the design is so simple). and I also got 2d place in Star Wars Miniatures board game tournament took place there. I'm so happy! As for outfit - I've chosen a super comfy outfit with a very cool pants! I bought them on ebay and they are more than 20 year old pants (I guess soon they could buy booze on their own but I doubt I need it). I love them for their shape - keeping me cool during hot and warm when needed. Oh, and can I also call it my pijama pants trend pants? or not? What I also wanted to mention you are my fab set jewel

Say 'yes' to a dress with Yesbabyonline

When you start on inspiration posts it hard to spot. At least for me. I feel like I am half awake in my bed, feeling super lazy and have to strict plans for the morning so I am hitting the 'snooze' button. I almost hear myself saying 'five more minutes' and I do mean five more minutes but I fail and hit 'show me more' button. Inspiration from online shops devour me. Yes it is budget friendly (you don't need to buy things even though you do want to) but it is not safe for your time. I can't really say I am against it, it is a good to relax and is also useful if you need to wait for your partner to finish some stuff to do. This evening it works especially well because I am waiting for my husband to finish the page. I am more or less limited by time so my online inspiration will be most pleasing. As always I wanted to set up a topic to make it even better. My topic for today is long formal dresses . Out of tons of online shop I picked the best for me toda

МКММ + Couture Fashion Show

So! I am so very excited! I have visited my first real actual fashion show ever since March and I couldn’t ever be happier. It’s just wow! This time I visited MKMM final shows merged with Couture Fashion Show later that night. I had a chance to see many wonderful shows by young and talented designers and enjoyed it a lot. Creativity everywhere. Something is purely catwalk (and I totally don’t mind it at all), something that is very easy to imagine rushing the streets, something very creative and futuristic and making a statement with so much in between. Overall in love. I don’t think I really can be picky because after all those digital shows real made a huge impression on me. It almost as if I am visiting my first ever fashion show but better because I know what to expect. I think you are not reading this and already scrolled past this point and enjoy the contestants. And don’t blame you at all.  RU: Прекрасные новости! Мой первый настоящий офлайн показ с марта месяца. И он оказася пр
