The golden age of Renaissance is an age of creative freedom and bold decision, the explosion of culture and arts on the basis of antique heritage.

Today we talk more and more of a renaissance in fashion, so to say, the return to perfection in shapes and proportion, essential to its golden age.
Deconstructivism, eclecticism and flamboyance definitive to the recent fashion trends made us nostalgic of sublime taste, ingenious simplicity and true pioneering spirit of the great Renaissance artists in the coming of the new Millennium.

The Renaissance man praised the harmony of inner and outer aspects in human being as the embodiment of divine magnificence. Fashion designers of the past and present give us true examples of femininity and elegance worshipping natural beauty. Pure and simple lines, shapes and silhouettes, integrity of new images are coming back to podium and reveal the new renaissance to the world of fashion.
Возвращение чистоты линий, форм и силуэтов, цельности новых образов на мировые подиумы открывают новый ренессанс в искусстве моды.

The new collection by Natalia Naftalieva is yet another step to the rebirth of ideals of antiquity and of the latter Renaissance.

“I don’t like to simply quote historical costumes. Past belongs to movies and museums. Of course, you can make new fashion trends out of crinolines but I prefer silhouettes close to human shape. Antique art praising the natural grace of human body is very close to my mindset. My guidelines are the lines that play with the absolute form in nature – the human body. We, artists, are the servants to God’s creations.

Arts and culture of the Renaissance era is an inexhaustible source of creation. In due course, it had a great influence on Russian art. Our Neorenaissance is not a literal citing of feminine images of that era but a tribute to freedom, elegance and natural beauty praised by Renaissance”.
