Street fashion
in largest megalopolises is not only the clothing but the entire culture, the
special perception of the world outlook of the nation to find the way in
clothing elements. Moscow
was far from such a phenomenon for longer time and street fashion notion was
not accepted and known. Today there are unique and special street fashion
elements eye-striking and pleasing at the same time.
Some people
reject existence of such a notion as street fashion in Moscow as such. On the one hand, when street fashion
is considered as the special fashion layer on the whole and the national style
in particular, and that is as it is. For a long time Russia was plunged into the unique
vacuum and people had no opportunity to wear the way the Europeans did. Onlycelebrities were the ones to imitate.
Borrowing with the best adaptation
to the challenges was the principle taken by the urban fashionmongers as the
rule.
Presently
the opportunities and possibilities are quite the same and the informational
field for the regular borrowing is quite extended. Now Moscow is the center in all the means and it
demonstrates the foreigners the real magic to be the decent city.
The capital
of Russia
is the special city where girls beautiful and elegant as if just shot for
glossy magazines are faced upon just walking the streets. No elegant
Frenchwomen and special Englishwomen, no Japanese fruity women can perceive the
fashion. The street fashion in Moscow
is created thoroughly, observing all the rules of «law of attractiveness», prescribed
by stylists. One of the major characteristics of the «gold-domed» country and
difference from the other megalopolises is the strong dependence upon the trend
setting process.
The geographic
situation commits the Moscow
population to admire the West in details, or stare to the East with the
nostalgia in eyes. This is the perfect tool to get inspiration to create the
own image. These girls show their adherence to aspire something big, or maybe
the troop is still announced.
Girls tend
to match different styles. Being the unique golden mean between the eastern splendor
and western restrain, Moscow
street expressively demonstrates the fluctuations.
The aspiration
to the ethnic style sometimes is skimmed through the plenty of accessories to match
the austere look, sometimes in pure ethnic style. Long to floor skirts, skirts,
summer dresses do not yield to trousers. Most popular are dresses made from
light and streaming fabric with prints for summer tunics or heavy dense fabric
for eastern skirts.
Beads,
bracelets, chains and studs are the standard set to be used together with other
bright accessories as scarf, shoes or handbags.
Moscow streets remind of fashion runway
any time and any season which demonstrates the clear concordance of details to
the color gamut, reasoning of the image and details. Moscow people are believed to combine the
colors successfully, choosing the glorification of minimalism at times. Several
different colors in one and the same ensemble is rare to meet in the street, as
well as adventurous tailoring and eclectic style. Monochromic nature, minimum
details, no daring accent on accessories, matched with the strict concordance
to the style and color gamut – is the face of the glossy glamour, which is
loved and cared here.
Gorgeous shoes
on high heels is must-have for Moscow
pretty women. Sports wear is rare visitor of their wardrobe, as well as
ballerina shoes or just classic shoes. In most cases shoes are chosen to go
with dresses, that’s all.
The Russian
capital has not succeeded in matching cheap and designer items. The entire
ensemble can be the combination of brand clothing, while the other is the
collection of cheaper items of clothing. Most often such brands are seen on
fashionable ladies walking in streets in Moscow
as Sela, O’stin, Zara, Motivi, Mango, Mexx, Oggi, Diesel, TopShop,
Marks&Spenser and Patrizia Pepe. It is not that drastic to say that luxury
and costly items of clothing is rare in streets, it is like that.
Street fashion
is the special trend that comes from population and circulates in the core of
population overgrown with newer things, trendy and stylish and losing ones that
outdate.
