Costume designer Daria Dmitrieva spoke about the disrespectful attitude of Russian figure skater Alena Kostornaya, who still has not paid for some of the costumes in the show. Dmitrieva talked about this “Match TV”.
“There was a personal agreement with Alena that we would do these for free, but she is giving them back. Three years later, they still haven’t returned. It was difficult to work in general. “Sew this” for all of these situations two days before the show. An arrogant, disrespectful attitude. So it all culminated in a post on social networks.
We asked for the costumes to be returned if they are not needed, and to be paid for if they are needed. As a result, he sent costumes that were not needed and left those that were needed, but payment has not yet been made,” Dmitrieva said.
On January 3, designer Alena Kuklycheva announced on social networks that she stopped working with Alena Kostornaya. Kuklycheva added a screenshot of the correspondence with the figure skater to her post; From this it becomes clear that Kostornaya did not pay for some of her costumes.
