Bold geometries, optical effects, "organic" and "colour music", invented by artists of the Russian avant garde 100 years ago,-прежнему inspire designers Valentino, Chloe, Issey Miyake and other giants of the fashion world

Today at the Jewish Museum opens to the public exhibition "the Effect of time: the influence of the Russian avant-garde of modern fashion. The organizers rightly decided not to overload the exposition. In the great hall on the walls hung works of Russian avant-garde 1910-30-х years. And in the center of the room mounted cabinets with dresses leading fashion houses. Chloe, Issey Miyake, J. W. Anderson, Loewe, Valentino, Mary Katrantzou. And the viewer immediately clear. Here is a Valentino dress 2016, as if descended from pictures of Sonia Delaunay 1920-х years. And to the left — bodycon dress by Issey Miyake 2016 with an ornament, which has developed an "organic" circle Matyushin almost a hundred years ago. And such examples are a huge amount. Geometric patterns, optical effects, colour music " — all the ideas of Russian avant-garde of a century ago, still define the face of modern fashion.

the Paintings and graphics of avant-garde curators gathered in regional museums and in private collections. That is, all these things are not zasmotreny to the holes. The most expensive work of the exhibition — is certainly Malevich's Suprematist paintings of 1915 of the Ekaterinburg Museum. The market value of this work is approximately $60 000 000. Among other the most important works of the exhibition two hard-versed connoisseur independently of each named card a couple of Olga Rozanova — "the king of Clubs" and "knave of Hearts" from Sloboda Museum-выставочного center. Generally striking things in the exhibition a lot. And most of them came from private collections — by Iveta and Tamaz manasherovyh, family Krivosheeva, Marina and Boris Molchanov, the gallery Ildar Galeev and others.

What could be added? What I personally would like to see more? In-первых, camouflage, invented by the Russian artist Vladimir Baranov-Россине. As you know, the camouflage came from a military uniform into civilian fashion. And-вторых — the form of the Russian Olympic team, which was first designed Kusnirovich's Bosco in explanation of the ideas of Russian avant-garde, Rodchenko, Stepanova, Rozanova). All-таки haven't been on.

In General, the exhibition was outstanding. In Moscow it will last until 4 September. And there is a possibility that after the Jewish Museum exhibition will travel further.
