The shortage in the Soviet Union did not stop women from being resourceful. Glossy magazines were in limited supply, but instead one could look at actresses and repeat after them. What the women did!
We invite you to find out which actresses of the Soviet era were role models for many women.
Lyudmila Gurchenko: dress
Lyudmila Gurchenko received fame after her role in the film "Carnival Night". The dressers came up with the idea of dressing the heroine in a dress with a new bow silhouette. In this smart dress, Gurchenko sang the song "Five minutes". All women of fashion wanted to try on the same dress. Thanks to this role in the iconic outfit, Christina Dior was recognized in Russia.
Barbara Brylska: dress and boots
The style of Barbara Brylska is still admired - she showed a brown, strict safari-style dress in a duet with high boots and a fur hat. It is easy to guess that millions of fashionistas, imbued with the soul of the main character, hastened to repeat this outfit after her.
Alexandra Yakovleva: white sweater and jeans
The actress starred in the film "The Wizards", in which there is a shot where the main character is walking in snowy Kitezhgrad in flared jeans and a white sweater. This image has become an inspiration for romantic students. The white fur coat also became popular, however, not everyone could afford it.
Lyubov Orlova: dresses a la Mariano Fortuny and Madame Gre
Dazzling blond and curled locks in Hollywood style, coupled with aristocratic manners, excited the minds of many women. Very often, Lyubov Orlova wore draped dresses a la Mariano Fortuny and Madame Gre and unobtrusively demonstrated pistachio-colored linen. Women of fashion in the USSR began to dye their hair blond and looked for ways to buy the same underwear from abroad.
