Elena Bolshakova, representative of the LDPR youth council, explained to socialbites.ca why she accused the Russian Student Spring festival in Perm of promoting unconventional values. According to Bolshakova, during the fashion show, one of the female models looked like a man in a dress and did not fit the “image of a Russian woman” at all.
“Russia today is fighting for traditional values that the West is trying to destroy in every possible way. For a family of men and women, for the traditional understanding of men and women. As for the topic, the audience confuses the girl on the show with the guy. Again, the question is in the image shown to us. The beauty of a Russian girl, a woman is known all over the world. So let’s stop using Western stereotypes and their understanding of what a fashion show should be like, or even an image of a Russian. We have our own understanding, traditional. And their perversions stay with them. We are ready to discuss any topic. We are even ready to welcome young designers within the walls of the State Duma and discuss with deputies how we can help them develop and enter the markets,” Bolshakova replied.
PGIK student Anna Syrovatskaya parade at Studspring in a dress jacket criticized by the Liberal Democratic Party representative for being “not Russian”. The sleeves of the black dress were painted in the Khokhloma style, the buttons were decorated in the form of red stars, and Anna defiled against the background of a screen with intertwined dolls.
Dress designer Lisa Kuznetsova admitted on her Vkontakte page that in recent days there have been “a lot of posts with unpleasant comments” about her collection on social networks.
“The idea of the collection is to integrate elements of traditional Russian themes into modern fashion and culture. Promote ethnic style in modern times. This is a story about Russian beauty, traditions, culture and all the best. About a Russian girl,” Lisa explained.
The girl asked those who wrote “fake and fake posts” about her collection and models at Stud Spring to double-check the information.
