Extravagant materials constructed the costumes of the Ballets Russes. Rich tapestries, ornate embroideries, lavish jewels, and bright colors brought the stories to life on the stage, and aided in producing an avant-garde and revolutionary experience for the audience which gave the Ballets Russes its fame today.
Otherworldly tales inspired the performances: pagan themes such as sacrifice infused The Rite of Spring, Firebird stemmed from a magical, folkloric character, puppets and jesters streamlined Petrushka. Such imaginative ideas necessitated exotic costumes.

The much awaited re-launch of the magazine, which was once in the top 3 most popular glossies, is scheduled for this coming fall.
L’Officiel Russia had a glorious but challenging past. After a series of lawsuits following the epic dismissal of its famed EIC Evelina Khromtchenko (the vacant place was filled with the Russian publisher’s wife) the magazine has ceased publication in 2011.
Now Les Editions Jalou is taking charge. The lucrative Russian market prompted the French media group to invest almost $30 million in opening a branch in Russia that will be publishing all their titles: L’Officiel, L’Officiel Hommes, L’Officiel Art, Jalouse, etc.
In his comment regarding the re-launch of L’Officiel Russia Vladimir Pomukchinsky, the president of Jalou Russia, has mentioned “a charismatic editor-in-chief, well known to foreign fashion brands”. Could Ms Khromtchenko be back as well?
