Top Russian Fashion Designer Valentin Yudashkin’s Winter Fairy Tale Comes to Hong Kong

 
Russian Culture Festival in Hong Kong and ATC Air service are presenting the Winter Fairy Tale show of the Russia’s most famous fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin on 27 November 2021, with support of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Hong Kong. 

Valentin Yudashkin is the only Russian member of the prestigious Syndicate of High Fashion in Paris. Born in Moscow in 1963, Yudashkin grew up fascinated by fashion and launched his first fashion collection in 1987. It was his 1991 Faberge collection which was inspired by the famous Faberge eggs that really put him on the international fashion scene. Credited with raising the profile of contemporary Russian fashion design. Yudashkin’s theatrical designs have been exhibited at the Louvre, the Californian Museum of Fashion, the State Historical Museum in Moscow, the International Museum of Olympic Games and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In 2005 Yudashkin was given the title of People’s Artist of the Russian Federation.

Winter Fairy Tale, styled as a snowy kingdom, the Haute Couture fashion show will envelop and enchant with its unattainable beauty. Russian models will walk in flowy chiffon dresses shimmering with precious stones, mini dresses with airy feather hems and spectacular sparkly evening dresses. Running throughout the entire collection is a complex symmetrical structure of snowflakes and an icy colour palette accentuated by cold metallic sheen of fabrics.

“The charm of the snowy landscape, the perfectly precise shapes of ice crystals and the special palette of winter shades running through every look, together with decorative elements and accessories give a completely new vision of the season,”- says Valentin Yudashkin.
 
Galina Yudashkina, Valentin’s daughter, a Hong Kong resident and the fashion house’s Art’s Director: “I am very happy to show Hong Kong some unique Russian craftsmanship and embroidery techniques. It has been my long-time dream to organize the first Russian fashion show in this amazing city. I am very grateful to the Russian Culture Festival for supporting our brand and giving us this opportunity to show Hong Kong people what Russian fashion truly is!”


Fashion show will feature a ballet and ballroom dance performance choreographed by the show’s artistic directors Katya Virshilas and Klaus Kongsdal, the Founders and Directors of BallroomBees dance academy. Throughout her career Katya has danced with, and taught an array of famous actors, singers and dancers including Antonio Banderas, Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez and many more. She was part of the cast of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing (Dancing With The Stars) and after this produced and starred in her own tour production performing in over 80 theatres across The UK. Klaus Kongsdal is a Ballroom dance World Champion (2005). After stepping away from competitive dancing in 2006, Klaus has become a coach to some of the best dance pairs in the world and a judge of the most prestigious major championships.

“The dance part will be performed by Alex Gunnarsson (Iceland) & Ekaterina Bond (Russia) - one of the most famous ballroom dance partnerships today. Together they were the runners-up at the World Championships, Blackpool Dance Festival - The British Open, as well as Champions of the Asian Open & National Champions of Iceland. Alex and Ekaterina will open the fashion show with enchanting “Once upon a December” Vienna Waltz following ballerina Ashleigh Bennett who will be wearing a Yudashkin dress” – says Katya Virshilas.

Valentin Yudashkin’s Haute Couture show is part of the fifth annual Russian Culture Festival in Hong Kong that runs throughout November and December.
