The Look of Margarita Kareva

Margarita Kareva lebt in Jekaterinburg / Russland und ist seit 2011 als Fotografin tätig.
Aufgefallen sind mir ihre märchenhaft arangierten Bilder voller slawischer Symbolik,
Farbenpracht und einer besonderen Ästhetik, die einen immer etwas verzaubert, auf der Suche nach Illustrationsvorlagen für meine Little Red.

Slavic Women In Vivid Portraits By Yakovlev & Aleeva

"The Slavic culture has been around for hundreds of years and during that time, Slavs came up with their own sense of beauty which was recently captured perfectly by the Russian art studio Yakovlev & Aleeva.

The Y & A have produced a series of portraits that incorporate extremely vibrant colors into beautiful portraits, filled with articles from Slavic folklore. Stunning Russian models are dressed in stylized versions of traditional clothing which blends seamlessly into the color and culture-rich backgrounds.

So put up the screen brightness and feast your eyes on the beauty of Slavic folklore."

Traditioneller ukrainischer Kopfschmuck modern interpretiert

Modern Women Wearing Traditional Ukrainian Crowns Give New Meaning To Ancient Tradition

"Slavic workshop Treti Pivni (translated as Third Rooster) has recently created an amazing new series of portraits featuring women and children wearing traditional Ukrainian headdresses. It was created to pay homage to their homeland while sharing a message of peace, tenderness, and knowledge of the Ukrainian culture with the world.

Traditionally, these floral headdresses are worn by young, unmarried women as a sign of their "purity" and marital eligibility. In pre-Christian times, they were even thought to protect innocent girls from evil spirits. Currently, after the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution, the headdresses are being worn in daily life to symbolize national pride.

"I think we are coming back to floral themes because fashion is starting to react on wars that we are having around the globe. We need some tenderness.", model Nadiia Shapoval told Vogue Magazine.
