草榴短视频

We continue to consider the costumes of the students of 草榴短视频 presented in the final of the Pushkin Ball project. Ekaterina Matlina, a student of the Costume Design Institute, presented two costumes on the podium of the Gala show. In the nomination "Fabulous image" the student won the third place, in the nomination "Theatrical costume" 鈥� the second.

In the "Fabulous Image" nomination, Ekaterina presented a costume dedicated to the novel "Eugene Onegin" called "Tatiana Larina's Dream". The image is a multi-level set with original accessories. The basis of the image is a homemade women's dress made of taffeta, with characteristic voluminous sleeves in the Biedermeier style.

This part of the work is my favorite. I find many meanings in it, and its mysticism never ceases to delight and inspire me. The dress is decorated with an author's painting, which depicts all the characters of Tatiana's dream and the main quotes from this passage. The quote is "Mine! 鈥� said Evgeny grozno" is the meaning-forming phrase of Tatiana's dream, if we turn to the philological analysis of the novel. This is an author's print by my co鈥攁uthor Anna Potemkina.

The characters are detailed with hand-embroidered glass beads. In Tatiana's hands, you can see a small amulet bag in the form of a bear, made of velvet and embroidered with beads. Also in the image of Tatiana there is an element of the Russian national costume 鈥� a kokoshnik. Before going to bed, Tatiana performs a fortune-telling rite, hiding a mirror under her pillow and going to bed. Thus, the mirror becomes her guide to the world of providence and dreams. The kokoshnik becomes a metaphorical symbol of the mirror. The image is completed by a lace shawl that wraps around the kokoshnik and shoulders of the heroine. To enhance the fabulous atmosphere of the image, the author added a winter pastel by Russian artist Evgeny Dubitsky to the background of the sketch.

The image was made by Ekaterina Matlina specifically for the Pushkin Ball project and has not been presented anywhere before.

In the Theatrical Costume nomination, Ekaterina presented a ball gown inspired by the image of Lizaveta from Pushkin's novel The Queen of Spades. The dress is decorated with a watercolor floral print and consists of a corset with airy lantern sleeves and a crinoline skirt. The whole outfit is imbued with the nostalgic aesthetics of the romantic era with exquisite details and refined finishing made of the most delicate tulle. It reflects the naive, romantic and dreamy nature of the heroine.

Floral motifs prevail in the dress, creating an atmosphere of lightness and femininity. The patterns are complemented by beautiful flowers and bows, giving tenderness and charm to the outfit: "... in a cold cloak, with her head decorated with fresh flowers, her pupil flashed by."
