I wished upon a star and my dream came true! I have been invited to my very first ball as a Debutante at Grosvenor house! To prepare for this very special event in my life I have started designing and making white dresses to add to the Maison Magenta repertoire.  This dreamy piece named “Crème de la crème” is based on the contemporary duo Jeanne-Claude and Christo, their  obsession with wrapping trees captivated my imagination to reflect on how our bones just like the tree branches push the skin into the form that we are. Thus creating a dress embodied with boning in a such a way that it takes new forms from a flat rectangle when laid out into gentle sculpture. ——————————————— #MaisonMagenta ——————————————— #hautecouture #whitedress #debutante #grosvenorhouse #russiangirl #russianball #debutanteball #debutantedress #ballgown #conceptual #jeanneclaudechristo #debutantebridal #designersfromrussia #mbfwrussia #fashionbrand #fashion #мода #дебютантка #бальныеплатья #белоеплатье #русскийдизайнер #спб #madewell #madeinengland #bespoke #bridal #bespokedress (at Grosvenor House)

Not too long ago I went to the open gardens @canterbury_cathedral and discovered not only the impeccably kept hidden flora and fauna but also these impeccable chorister's head made by the stone masons on sight! I'll explain more about my silk dress in my next post. •———————————————• 💜Hand painted Silk maxi dress: #MaisonMagenta 💜 Wedges: #maje •———————————————• #maxidress #silkdress #summerball #handpainted #blockprinting #designersfromrussia #fashionblog #paintingonsilk #handpaintedfabric #handpaintedsilk #handpainteddress #choirhouse #butterflies #butterflyprint #summer #summerprints #summerfashion #fashion #fashiondesigner #bafcsm #csmalumni #businessoffashion #mode #шелковоеплатье #платьеназаказ #мода #madeinkent #designerfashion (at Canterbury Cathedral)

Watercolour painting from Life was really fun, giving me the opportunity to really appreciate the elegant linear Orchid stems perfectly accompanied by large graphic petal forms. After a few paintings I transferred the watercolours into Photoshop and here are a few prints I didn't use. 🔳—————————————🔲 #MaisonMagenta 🔲—————————————🔳 #watercolorpainting #orchids #watercolor 🌸 #flowers #floralprint #watercolorflowers #screenprinting #joanmiró #foundationmargueriteetaimémaeght #monochromeprint #monochrome #prepwork #sketchbook #fashion #mode #мода #рисунок #рисуюакварелью #акварель #russiandesigner #designerfashion #designersfromrussia #dfr #дизайнерыроссии #рубашкавклетку #рубашка #юбканазаказ #cottonshirt (at Fondation Maeght)

🍋Silk Maxi Dress: 🍋#MaisonMagenta 🍋 Blazer: #East Sunglasses: 🕶 #givenchy 🍋•————————————————•🍋 My final weekend of my birthday month! I went to the country side to visit Belmont house. A little bit of Dolce Vita in this photograph. As for the dress, I stretched silk on frames to hand paint them, first the outlines with gutta, then filling in with silk paints and then adding salt for a special relief effect and block printing and digital printing in other areas. What would you like to have intricately painted and made into? Thank you Tayla and Annika @annikaking For a lovely time and photos! 🍋•————————————————•🍋 #handpainted #paintingonsilk #handpaintedfabric #handpaintedsilk #handpaintedsilkdress #handpainteddress #butterflies #lemontree #lemon #birthdaymonth #birthdaygirl #summerfashion #ladolcevita #fashion #мода #шелковоеплатье #вручную #вручнуюроспись #росписьнашелке #платьяназаказ #maxidress #silkdress #mode #designerfashion #russiandesigner #belmonthouse #belmonthouseandgardens (at Belmont House and Gardens)

Today on the 26th of April is the final day of being 26! It has been a challenging year from which I learned a lot about the fashion world which has been my dream to enter since age 7. Now fast forward since completing my degree in fashion design with knitwear at CSM and interning at Christian Dior Couture whilst Raf Simons was revolutionising the aesthetic of the majestic house. I was searching non-stop for that "dream job" I thought I wanted, I was on the competition treadmill until my health crushed, and I was diagnosed with CFS. I took a year out to recuperate to a pace I can do something again little by little. This relearning to live with limited energy forced me to analyse everything I do, cutting unnecessary activity out and really put myself rather than work first. Reconnecting with my values and happiness. I wanted to be a designer because I loved to create, but I was feeling exhausted from working overtime, to a limiting brief with little creative possibility or gratitude, little pay and little time to enjoy life and see friends and VIVRE! So now I am taking the risk in the name of my love for fashion! To build my own brand 💜#MaisonMagenta 💜 & to finance it myself through a part-time & freelance jobs not always in fashion. Because "It doesn't matter how slow one goes as long as one does not stop one will get there!" 💜💜💜 We only have one life and our own genius, let's do what we are best at and love! 💜 Who would have though I would be wearing wellies on the eve of my birthday 👢👢p.s. The Astor wing lends wellies to guests and I have quite enjoyed wearing them here! Perfect countryside attire to go with this Anne Boleyn bodice from my collection 🤗 •———————————————• Please take a moment to read this very insightful article on CFS and offer employees support💜 because when I tried to negotiate to work a 4 day week to manage my disability, I was told maybe I should not work in fashion... https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/feb/15/it-was-like-being-buried-alive-victim-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome •———————————————• #CFS #invisibleillness #bodice #wellies #textiles #heathershrubs #countryairdontcare #fashion #мода #mode #dior #csm (at Hever Castle & Gardens)

THE /OPHELIA /DRESS Wishing you all a wonderful Easter Sunday. I am lucky enough to celebrate at Le Negresco and truly feel like Belle in my latest creation. The OPHELIA gown is perfect for an evening soirée, soft light and floaty, the sumptuous silk fabric is suspended from fine chains hanging gently off the neck, giving the fabric freedom for movement and adjustment to the drop of the cowl. Where are you celebrating this Easter weekend? ———————————————————— #maisonmagenta ———————————————————— Fabric: SILK CHIFFON Location: LE NEGRESCO @hotel_negresco Model: 💜ANASTASIA💜 ———————————————————— #silkchiffon #silkchiffondress #summerdress #ᴇᴀsᴛᴇʀsᴜɴᴅᴀʏ #russiandesigner #silkdress #шелковоеплатье #creamdress #creamchiffon #chaindetail #belle #beautyandthebeast #labelleetlabête #eveninggown #eveningdress #debutante #eveningwear #longdress #hautecouture #partydress #limitededition #sundaystyle #custommade #fashion #мода #mode #weddingdress #designerfashion #madeinkent (at Hôtel Negresco Nice)

THE /AMARYLLIS /BLOUSE #MaisonMagenta ———————————————————— Celebrate the year of the fire rooster in this supple silk organza blouse available through appointment from MAISON MAGENTA by Anastasia. I believe the greatest cost to the environment is from the materials used in fashion. The silk is sourced sustainably from violent free silk supplier and created in Kent, limiting the Carbon footprint. ———————————————————— #handmade #madeinkent #madeinuk #sustainablefashion #redblouse #custommade #eveningwear #silkblouse #redsilkblouse #organzablouse #pussybowblouse #pussybow #volumesleeve #cufflinkshirt #lanvincufflinks #luckyred #sundaystyle #redfashion #trendland #русскиедизайнеры #спбдизайнер #russiandesigner #краснаяблузка #шелковаяблузка #chemisesoie #chemisier #chemisiersoie #firerooster #chinesenewyear
