Tatiana Parfionova
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
Regardless of whether you are interested in fashion, do visit the salon run by Tatyana Parfionova. Besides being one of the best known Russian fashion designers whose creations can be found in the holdings of the Russian Museum, she is also a unique personality; her collections are like studies of art and history - Parfionova has a knack for making the past meet the present within a single item of clothing. Her filigree embroideries - interpretations of national motifs - are unequalled; the designer's works are walking the thin line between art and fashion. Consider yourself lucky if you happen to meet Parfionova in person. You will probably find her sitting at the long table with a surface of fashion photographs and ad pictures, a bookshelf with fashion, design and history books as well as the designer's latest finds from St Petersburg antique book shops behind her. It also contains binders in which Parfionova's assistants have been painstakingly filing her sketches and notes. She is rarely seen without a sheet of paper and a pencil in her hand - these are her tools, her way of expressing her emotions. Designer's three four-legged friends never stray far from their lady, bringing a touch of extravagant coziness to this place. Have a closer look at her gorgeous and elaborate evening-gowns, featuring exquisite feel of colors and fine embroidery - an almost unparalleled piece artwork, indeed! And do not forget asking to show you some of the famous Parfionova's shawls. Each of them is unique, each has its own story and, if only you can afford, it is definitely one of the best souvenirs for taking home from St. Petersburg.
Nevsky Prospekt, 51
