The inspiration for my collection is based on the extensive over-the-top richness of grand structures one can see standing today in Russia, such as the Kremlin and St. Basil's Cathedral. This, along with all the historical and cultural references taken from art, literature, sculptures, paintings, and historical dress of Russian nobles of the past. My background is Russian, so I have been extensively inspired by all the rich beauty that has been achieved over Russia's long and prosperous history.
