Ulyana Sergeenko
Ulyana Sergeenko is a fashion designer from Russia. This is her strong debut in the fashion world with her new collection autumn/winter 2011-12, also featured in VOGUE Russia (check it out the other fabulous looks).The collection is inspired by 1950′s, Soviet times. I would describe a collection as a chic Stilyagi (lit. “stylish”, “style hunter”) were primarily distinguished by their snappy or fashionable clothing, considered politically incorrect and contrary to the communist-socialist realities of the time, and fascination with modern music and fashions.
Also,I’m in love with these super long skirts/dresses, my grandma is from Romania and this collection reminds me a lot of her style.
In the late 1950s, the catchphrase “Today he dances jazz, but tomorrow [he] will sell [his] homeland“, became the stilyagi’s signature and the key idea underlying their social protest.

Sick post!! The color palette is wonderful and the background for this shoot is simple and cohesive!
Totally agree with you, Ryan! Thx for stopping by!
Gorgeous model and wonderful clothing and colors. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it! Hope to see u soon!
i can genuinely say that i am not a fan of these styles! i love the muff, but for some reason, i don’t appreciate long, flowy skirts. but just like with anything else, i appreciate learning about things that aren’t my style. thank you for sharing!
Sometimes is good to be out of our comfort zone…. thx for stopping by!
Wow! those are very striking!
Thank you for sharing them!
Glad you liked it! Hope to see you soon!
Wow, I am particularly interested in them because those have some historical background. Your remark that they were seen as ‘politically incorrect’. well, I am a communist and I find them very much politically and aesthetically correct. Thanks to share
You have a good point, Zafar! thx for stopping by!
Beautiful. I love the backgrounds used in the photos. I’m might try and find some of those patterns for my photo-booth! Thanks Chicquero
Hi Kedar! Glad you liked it!!!
Beautiful work!
Thereality is that that style is the forties ’till 1953 to ’55 when we war babies & boomers (boomers are those born after 10 years from the ending of WW2) changed the world with our levis & rock & roll.
And the hair is DEFINITELY 40′s.
Mini’s started in 1960 & me & my crew were in them in a minute AND had the boots to the knee or over.
The nuns at my school expelled U if they caught U rolling your uniform skirt up!
That was good economic times though the social conditions existing in the USA we’re bad & we had to fight & become activists to change it. (and still have to!)
Good economic times make the skirts go up, bad economic times, they lengthen again.
Just shows that U shouldn’t get rid of anything, particularly, if it’s from a good designer as it ALL comes back…LOL!
Wow… thx for sharing your experience! It’s so cool to learn a bit more with each comment that we receive! Thx a lot, Dayle… hope to see you soon!
What a great post, and I love these dresses. I am not usually a fan of the super long length, but I kept thinking I would see something that inspired me- and this is it. -kate
