Russian Style by Evelina Khromtchenko presents a visually arresting and intellectually curated survey of Russia’s cultural identity through fashion, design, and historical symbolism. The book illustrates the aesthetic legacy of icons such as Catherine the Great, Fabergé, Rodchenko, and Tolstoy, while integrating contemporary figures like Maria Sharapova and Olga Kurylenko to underscore Russia’s evolving global influence. With 219 pages of richly photographed content and concise, witty commentary, Khromtchenko constructs a narrative that positions Russian style as both opulent and ideologically charged. The volume argues for the enduring relevance of Russian motifs, from kokoshniks to Kalashnikovs—as expressions of national character and artistic innovation.
