Chapurin

Chapurin�s collections play skilfully with Russian clich�s and myths. Fur, glitter and ornament dominate, but also geometrical tailoring that in its rigour is reminiscent of Constructivism. The themes of his shows are very often strong women from Russian culture, such as Anna Karenina and Anastasia. It is a very feminine glamour that he propagates � extravagant, ostentatious and sometimes a tad kitschy, but never vulgar.
