Valentin Yudashkin is Russia’s most famous fashion designer and the only Russian designer to be honored with membership in the Syndicate of High Fashion in Paris. He is also a decorated member of the Academy of Arts of the Russian Federation and a National Artist of Russia. Yudashkin created his first collection during the times of Perestroika, when Russia was opening itself up to new ideas. In 1987 some 150 items of the Yudashkin collection were shown in Moscow. They were so well-liked it made him famous all across the country. His fame reached as far as France and a year later he was invited to Paris, a trip that changed his perception of fashion in a fundamental way. Coming from the Soviet Union – the land of eternal deficit - Yudashkin was shocked by the variety of colors, fabrics and shapes available to work with. It was hard enough to purchase mittens back home and here in Paris gloves were sold with matching hats. Yudashkin discovered a whole new world and was determined to make it a reality in his home country. 1991 saw the creation of the Valentin Yudashkin brand and his first Haute Couture collection. It was named Fabergé and was inspired by the famous work of art. The most popular items of that collection were dresses made in the shape of an egg and decorated in the Fabergé style. He took it to the fashion week in Paris and it became an instant success, impressing even such renowned couturiers as Pierre Cardin and Paco Rabane. His Fabergé dresses traveled the world, some of them were purchased by the Louvres Dress Museum and a few other items went to the California Museum of Fashion and the New York Metropolitan Museum.Brand Details
