Report: Emoji Caps, Sweaters and Sleepers on Walk of Shame

Look At Me continues to talk about good Russian shows. We have already published reports from the Ruban and Viva Vox shows and talked about Aurora Fashion Week. This time, our editor and photographer went to the Walk of Shame show, perhaps the most promising project in the domestic fashion industry.

Two years ago, Andrei Artyomov, a stylist who worked with Alena Ahmadullina and L'Officiel, showed the debut collection Walk of Shame. The brand gained momentum with enviable speed. Its creator was integrated into a fashionable community, and by the standards of business it took nothing to attract clients and buyers from Aizel and Tsvetnoy.

Autumn-winter display brand arranges in the space of the store Laurel. We come to the beginning of the rehearsal of the show. Models, including the stars of the Moscow stage Dasha Malygina and Yulya True, do not just defile, but dance to the beat of the music. A photographer and, obviously, one of the organizers of the show, Aleksey Kiselev, is dancing along with them. We are surprised at the appearance of a single guy on the podium - it seems that Andrei Artyomov is starting to experiment with men's clothes. The test run is over and we go backstage. Models discuss everything and call the show "Anatoly and his harem." In honor of the red-haired Toli Titaev - the same guy participating in the show. He turns out to be a skateboarder with a bunch of tattoos.

It is interesting to watch Andrei Artyomov. He tries to control absolutely everything that happens around: he watches that the girls in yellow are sitting in his front row, and even when the cleaner can go home. The designer and his team decide to start the show at 21:00. No, still at 20:50. They are discussing how to act as a photographer: “take a photo of Gomiashvili, several times Shahri, so as not like last season, and that woman with Dulgerova”. On the backstage come more and more new guests, which the designer elegantly sends to the cocktails with the words "We drink, we drink."

By the way, about the location of the show: brick ceilings and silver pipes are visible on the ceilings, shabby paint and tangled wires on the walls, the floor is paved with yellowed tiles. Everything we love. Guests of the Walk of Shame will be envied by every designer: along with the first secular girls of the capital and the heroines of street blogs, we see, for example, Visionaire editor Cecilia Dean. For half an hour we have been watching the movements of Alexander Terekhov and Gosha Rubchinsky and the girl - a copy of a Chanel model of about five years old, which prevents photographers from taking pictures. What is happening around begins to resemble a friendly party. Those 20:50 come, and the show starts.

The designer has pleased everyone with the new collection, while unintentionally. White and black a-silhouette dresses in the style of the 1960s will look equally good on girls from the bar of Denis Simachev and from Strelka. Emoji sweaters will appeal to both ordinary twenty-year-olds and owners of sweaters with the words "I'm Luxury" and "Glory to Russia" from past WOS collections. Outerwear was removed: these are quilted coat-coats and bombers with Lurex. The designer does not forget that the autumn-winter collection is one of the models defiled in a fluffy fur coat. We are especially impressed with things in the style of the 1990s: it is easy to present my colleague Margarita Zubatov in a short jacket and a skirt with buttons on denim.

The collection can be distinguished block evening wear: a black jumpsuit with a cut on the back, as well as dresses made of silk and lace. The latter resemble peignoirs, but we are talking about the brand, which is not without reason called Walk of Shame. I want to wear items from the collection immediately after the show. Caps and sleepers, voluminous shiny sweatshirts and jacquard pants are all at the peak right now. Will the girls in the future season disassemble them like hot cakes - the question. However, the collection is well-made, so it can settle in your wardrobe for a long time.
