Vogue. Russia. 10 Years in Vogue
Remember my blog entry about those gorgeous designer Matryoshka dolls last month? Well, Editor-in-Chief Aliona Doletskaya’s assistant emailed me earlier today with details.
As you have seen on the November 2008 issue of Russian Vogue, some of the world’s leading designers (including Miuccia Prada, Donatella Versace, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana, etc.) designed a Matrioshka doll. Each of these (half-a-meter tall) dolls were handrafted by skilled Russian artists and meticulously painted by hand.
To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Vogue is hosting a grand gala dinner on November 20, 2008 for 200 of Vogue Russia’s closest friends which includes international business and political elite, key players in the art and fashion worlds and Russian and international celebrities. Are bloggers invited too? Just kidding. The Matrioshka dolls are then going to be auctioned off for charity that night. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Northern Crown Foundation, a charity that helps orphaned children throughout Russia.
In other words, pedestrians like you and myself won’t be able to bid on these gorgeous dollls. But that’s OK. One must be kerrr-azzy to go on a bidding war with a Russian oligarch anyway!!!
Amazing eh? How can you not love Aliona and Vogue Russia?

Happy birthday Vogue Russia!!!!
PS. Thanks Ekaterina!
Very exciting.. I must try and get Vogue Russia somewhere, because the fashion scene in Russia is so big now, and expanding so quickly, it must be worth seeing
It's probably just me but why do I have a feeling every single Vogue in the world is moving forward except for Vogue USA? Whatever. Team Vogue Philippines! Kidding.
i want vogue in the czech rep.!! :))
These are incredible! I hadn’t even heard about them!

It would have been great to see one designed by Jean Paul Gaultier
the fashion scene in Russia is big? the only place in Moscow where i see ppl dress fashionably is the city centre, probably only 1km radius around the Red Square and that’s that.
