Fashion designer to the stars publishes new lookbook

Moscow-based fashion designer Alexander Terekhov, beloved by oligarchs’ wives and Russian celebrities, has published a lookbook of his latest collection, a blend of streetwear and classic silhouettes. The collection of silk and jacquard print dresses, velour tracksuits and billowing blouses was photographed in the northern Caucasus by renowned fashion photographer Alexey Kiselov.

Terekhov’s Fall/Winter 2013/2014 collection also incorporates a surrealist twist with silk dresses inscribed with handwritten excerpts from the novel, The Master and Margarita. The shoes selected for the shoot are from Italian shoemaker Gianvito Rossi while the bags come from the atelier of New York-based designer Khirma Eliazov.

Terekhov is best known for his prestigious collaborations. In 2013, he designed a collection of bags for Italian brand Coccinelle while this year he was invited to create an Alice in Wonderland-inspired dress for the 20th anniversary of Disneyland Paris, alongside other high-profile designers such as milliner Philip Treacy. Terekhov graduated from the Moscow Institute of Fashion and Design in 2001 and almost immediately began training with world-famous fashion house Yves Saint Laurent.
