War and Peace within the Temple of Fashion
interview with Nikolay Krasnikov
Part I.
Dear followers and readers, I am glad to introduce you my new interview given to me by a Russian newcomer designer Nikolay Krasnikov. This is a brand new but already vivid star in the constellation of the Russian fashion-industry’s masters. The winner and the runner-up of many prestigious competitions, the apprentice of Slava Zaytsev’s “Fashion Laboratory”, he worked later as Zaytsev’s personal assistant. Now he is the senior brand-designer responsible for Dolce&Gabbana boutiques in Moscow. During the last Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia Nikolay has presented the third collection bearing the name of his own brand. Less than in a month after the show actress Daria Ekamasova, famous for her part in the movie “Once upon a time there lived some peasant woman”, stole admiring glances wearing Krasnikov’s dresses on the red carpet of the International Rome Film Festival.
Speaking about Nikolay, Beethoven’s words unwittingly emerge in my mind: “The barriers are not erected which can say to aspiring talents and industry, 'Thus far and no farther”. Indeed, he has literally conquered “the temple of fashion”, and this is what seems to be impossible to do for the rest of the people. Krasnikov makes a figure not only with his talent but also with a sense of purpose. Meanwhile, despite being successful and famous, this is not a jumped-up person, on contrary, Nikolay possesses a very outgoing and open personality.
