In this new episode, Peter Scott discovers the richness of Russian fashion and learns how designers are bringing traditional Russian motifs back into modern wardrobes. Peter meets fashion designer Sergey Sysoev, who has reinterpreted the traditional costume for Russian women. He shows our presenter how its key elements – silhouette, trim, and fabric – can be seamlessly woven into contemporary fashion. Peter also checks out some novel designs inspired by the beauty of Russia’s countryside, landscapes, nature, and homes. Traditional sarafans and aprons are given a fresh, modern reading in the hands of the young designers who created them. The presenter also meets designer Svetlana Levadnaya, who created her richly embroidered clothing based on Russian national costumes. These garments look almost like something from a fairy tale yet can easily be worn in everyday life. To discover how else Russia’s national style is finding expression in 21st-century fashion, watch the latest episode.
