I always feel comfortable, basically in any situation except perhaps airports.

I'm so sick of mermaid dresses, trains, borrowed bling-bling, and a pose.

I love people - it is not the fashion, it is the people in fashion I love.

There is room in today's world for men to wear dresses.

It's incorrect to assume you can be a fashion editor because you blog, if you don't have experience to look at fashion in a professional way.

Russia is a place of great culture. If you've read Tolstoy's "War and Peace", Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Chekhov...the culture of the great Russian literature is amazing. The human narrative you get out of "War and Peace" is universal.

One my favorite things is to go to the provinces of Russia and see the 18th century wood churches with the onion dome architecture. These humble wonders of incredible imagination of architects that were obviously not living in places like Paris or London, but they've created these amazing churches.
