Classics in a modern style: House of Down Fashion in the Department Store of the National Centre RUSSIA
The
National Centre RUSSIA showcases unique handcrafted items from artisans and
designers across various regions. One of the main symbols of the Orenburg
region is the famous down shawl: weightless and elegant. You can purchase this
accessory, along with other down products, including unique Christmas
ornaments, at the Department Store.
The
creations of Anna Sovetova were highly popular at the International RUSSIA
EXPO. As one of the bestsellers, they found their place on the shelves of the
Department Store. Here, Anna presents a collection of designer shawls, gloves,
and Christmas decorations.
"In my
work, I follow one principle: I create things that I would like to wear myself,
here and now, in our time. I use the down shawl because it is incredibly
beautiful — it embodies mathematical precision, strictness, and wisdom. The
down shawl allows us to reimagine what was created before us in a new, modern
way," Anna explains.
The
designer believes that the down shawl perfectly complements any outfit or
style. It can be worn to business or romantic meetings, as part of everyday or
festive attire.
Anna
Sovetova is well-known far beyond the Orenburg region. Her works made from the
traditional Orenburg down shawl have traveled almost the entire world.
The
National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian
Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA
EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a
permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies, corporations,
and regions take part in the Centre’s work.
The
National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow.
The Centre is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
On 2 September at 18:30, the National Centre RUSSIA invites visitors to an open recording of a new episode of the "Russia Speaks" podcast.
On 12–13 November, the National Centre RUSSIA will once again become the main meeting place for those thinking about what tomorrow will look like.
Ivan Yefremov's science fiction has long been considered a classic, yet the worlds of the Strugatsky brothers continue to appear on screen far more often. Why is this?
