22 January 2013

Ulyana Sergeenko, Russian fashion designer and style icon, unveiled her Spring 2013 Couture collection to an audience including burlesque star Dita Von Teese Paris and Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova today. From The Wizard of Oz to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, inspiration from classic children’s novels was evident throughout. Surpassing them all as head muse was Scarlett O’Hara, played by Vivien Leigh in the Hollywood adaptation of Gone With the Wind. The response from Twitter and other social networks was instantly enthusiastic.
