Alena Akhmadullina

In this Spring/Summer 2007 collection,

Alena Akhmadullina delved into her

past to give us garments in white tones

inspired by the vertical static dresses of

cutout dolls, as if they attached to the

body thanks to a little tab.

In these sketches from the Spring/Summer

2006 collection, Alena returns to one of

her most common sources of inspiration:

Russian folklore, in which it is customary

to dress up as animals in popular

celebrations, as these drawings of a horse’s

head on a human body demonstrate.
