"In Europe, fashion is driven by the runways, but in Russia, television and pop stars dictate what's most desirable," says award-winning Russian stylist, Tatiana Nitchenko. "Everyone wants to be like TV stars or wives of the ruling class, so it's only natural that they want to dress and look stars."
(Word from the street: Despite the glitzy and glamorous work produced by top salons, Russian youths are starting to bring street styles to the forefront!)
Beauty is definitely a universal language! Shown: an avant-garde hair presentation by Schwarzkopf Professional (Russia) and stylist Tatiana Nitchenko, which could have taken place anywhere in the world. |
