"I worked in the Tale of Tsar Saltan team, creating a Guard costume. The work on it was very interesting and took several months. I wanted not only to repeat the image of a warrior from the time of Ancient Russia, but to create a real guardian costume in a new interpretation, without losing the associative connection with the roots. After approving the sketch, it was necessary to find ways to create shapes and decorations: the Guard has very large shoulders, I had to work hard to find the right volume, and the texture of the costume resembles the armor of medieval knights, there are "scales" on the chest and back, which I sewed by hand.

It was interesting to work as a team: we need all the costumes to present a single stylistic picture and harmonize in colors. We discussed some aspects of the costume together with the director, Alexander, who also contributed to the creation of the image. And, of course, my teachers, Svetlana Anatolyevna and Tatiana Nikiforovna, who supervised me throughout the work on the project and suggested the best solutions for various details of the costume.

How important is it to see your work on stage? Immensely. We've already had mini-tours, and I'm always as excited as the first time. I am absolutely in love with what I have created myself and with the whole team. And I'm happy that our work lives on."
