Fashion Style of U.S.S.R.


"Showing Fashion, Style of U.S.S.R." Exhibition. 
The exhibit, which runs until June 12  presents more than 1000 costumes. They belonged to the icons of style throughout the Soviet era, from 20s to 90s.

The main interest is, of course, costumes of Soviet idols - Maya Plisetskaya, Olga Lepeshinskaya, Lidia Smirnova, Clare Luchko, Fateeva Natalia, Tatiana Shmyga, Lyudmila Gurchenko and many other stars, beloved by many generations in Russia.








In a separate room is housed a collection of museum-apartment of Galina Ulanova. She was a famous fashionista - all her clothes were brought from overseas. She always carefully picked accessories for each costume.





The exhibition organizers sought to identify the originality of the history of women's fashion in the Soviet Union, and also to show the inextricable link with the trend of fashion in the West, despite the "iron curtain".

The main part of the collection is provided by a well-known fashion historian Aleksandr Vasiliev. Among contributors are Bakhrushin Theatre Museum, Association "Museum of Moscow", Moscow Art Theater School.

Myasnitskaya Street

Here is my one of favourite streets, Myasnitskaya street, or the Butcher's. I like it because it has presered the atmosphere of the old times.





Fact 9. 
It all started in 15 century when Ivan the Great built the Church of Assumption of Blessed Virgin Maria behind Nikolskie Gates of Kitay Gorod.






Already in the XVI century the street was built up with houses, shops and butchers and their settlement was called the Butcher's.





Under Peter I Myasnitskaya became the road between the Kremlin and the German settlement, which was constantly visited by the king. Since then Myasnitskaya street has been considered the street of nobles and the new aristocracy. 





Nowadays it's one of the most popular streets for tourists and Moscovites and it's fully packed with cars. :)







And all kinds of stores with picturesque shop-windows. 





And yummy desserts for every taste that will make your mouth water. Moscow is changing and there are so many sweet things coming out every day!
