The
London Daily Telegraph describes a fashion show featuring
the works of Natasha and Tamara Surguladze:
Graphic prints were based on original propaganda motifs from the
"industrial art" movement championed by Lenin and Trotsky. Others
featured the Cyrillic letters CCCP, which represented the former Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics. Sweeping cloaks and knitted sweaters
in "Red Square red" were emblazoned with the symbol of the Russian
revolution, the hammer and sickle, while glittering Russian stars
clasped the edges of jackets and dresses... The "Mother Russia" theme
was reflected in the invitations, based on the old USSR passports...
and in the music, a garage mix of Shostakovich, Red Army chants and
folk songs, overlaid with Led Zeppelin.
