Dear Shaded Viewers,
It was a very busy Sunday but I really enjoyed meeting and chatting with the designers, fashion historians and bloggers.
Ekaterina Puchkova at her Aurora headquarters, location of our bloggers/designers/historians..meeting
Anastasia Kuryokhin
Uliana Kim
Maksim Antonov and Sanan Gasanov, starts Antwerp Academy in October
To end the day we went to the Mikhailovsky Theatre but I think I was much too tired to appreciate the opera "La Juive" and after a short while I asked Ekaterina Puchkova if she would be okay if we just left. I think I caused a bit of a scandel when I did not want to give the theatre my coat to check. Then leaving, well, the idea was for it to be a treat, not a torture and I was too tired to appreciate it. It was in French but all 3 of us speak French and could not understand one word of it, maybe one word, and then, sub titles in Russian. We all know the story and it was only going to get more depressing and that was not at all what I was in the mood for. I had asked to be taken there but I guess all I really wanted to see was the theatre and it is lovely.
Our last dinner with Ekaterina Puchkova
Venice of the North
Last night we went to the terrace above the 8th floor of the W Hotel Saint Petersburg beautiful view with a definite chill in the -6 c air.
Ekaterina Puchkova took me to the airport and I say goodbye to Saint Petersburg and my friends from Aurora fashion week.
Later,
Diane
