From mini to maxi

We still cannot come to our senses after one of the last looks of Alexander Vassiliev (frankly speaking, we didn't recognise him at first).

And the previews show that the experiments with his appearance has only begun (pay attention to his hair styles))):

Obviously stylists or Monsieur himself have bought the complete Ray Ban collection.
Ok, enough mockery of TV life of Alexander Vassiliev! Let's return to his initial profession - historian of fashion. The exhibition "From mini to maxi" has already gladdened the hearts of Saint-Petersburg' inhabitants during Aurora Fashion Week, but back then it was very short and difficult to access. However, it had such big success among people that Alexander Vassiliev decided to leave it for more time. It was moved to the Saint-Petersburg State Museum of Theatre and Music, to its branch - Sheremetyev Palace.
Address: Fontanka Embankment 34, Saint-Petersburg.
At the exhibition one can find 30 dresses from the best designers and fashio houses: Christian Dior, Chanel, Pierre Balmain, Nina Ricci, boutique Le Grenier.
Hurry up: the exhibit is open till the 5th of September!!! Nice thing - it is free for students.
And now some photos:
