chinland, and the show was attended by famous actresses, cate blanchen, zendaya , alicia vikkander, lily gladstoneuge number of big names, and i’ll tell you that if i had the chance, i would take this entire line for myself, but it seems to me that this is a dubious story, inviting stars to the show, because all the attention from the collection is ultimately drawn to these stars. why do i want to argue, i want to argue now with olga venskaya, you know, they came, then they put it all on themselves, posted it on instagram, and people say, i want it like from day, well, on instagram - this is one story at the show when you know, they walk past the model, everyone looks at tsindeya, this is of course a different story, but on the other hand, when after the show they discuss the celebrity guests, this indicates that the collection was apparently, well, not as impressive as the star guests themselves, so i’m in favor... that after the show they still discussed - some specific models and design solutions, so they discuss, they discuss how zinde was dressed, that she was not dressed in louis véton, well
