Slava Zaitsev: the Glory of Russian Fashion

Several days ago, I covered the most recent edition of Ukraine’s Lviv Fashion Week, which was launched for the first time in March 2009.

Special guest at the event was Russian couturier, Vyacheslav Zaitsev; otherwise known as Slava, which means ‘glory’ in Russian.

The organizers of Lviv Fashion Week just sent me the photo gallery of Slava Zaitsev’s 2010 autumn/winter collection, which present at the event.

I hope you enjoy the show!

For further information on Slava and his son, please refer to the following articles:

Grigor Zaitzev—A Sunbeam of His Father’s Glory

Another Russian designer at the recent edition of Russia Fashion Week was Grigor Zaitsev—son of the most famous of all Russian designers, Slava Zaitsev!

Sketching from an early age, Grigor completed his studies in 1983 and immediately joined his father’s Fashion House.

There, Grigor designed many costumes for theatre, cinema, and the circus, as well as famous musicians. Clearly, Grigor and his designs are deeply influenced by the Russian Rock Revolution of the 1980’s.

Not only rejoicing with but also instrumental in the fall of the Soviet Regime, Grigor now welcomes a new generation of artistic designers, despite the current arduous times.
