Alexandre Vassiliev in Paris

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I was walking through the Palais Royal with my sister on route to meet my friend Christophe BIllet when I ran into an old friend Alexandre Vassiliev.He has a place in Paris and seems to be buying up property everywhere. Most of his time is spent in Russia where he is a scenographer, costume designer, fashion historian, writer , lecturer and teacher. Alexandre was one of the first people I met when I moved to Paris more than 19 years ago. He was a friend of my dear friend Stephen di Pietri, we met at his apartment which was amazingly theatrical. Always a laugh, the last time I had dinner  at his place, which was years or a decade ago, he forgot to mention that there was an entire tv crew documenting the dinner for a show on Russian aristocrats. It was surprising but in the end quite entertaining.

Later,

Diane
