Remembering Russia

Russia has given us more than just dopplegänger dolls as is clearly explained in a new book by Alexandre Vassiliev entitled 'Beauty in Exile: The Artists, Models and Nobility who fled the Russian Revolution and Influenced the World of Fashion' (Harry N. Abrams, £38). The book (which may have the longest subtitle in the world) is packed with beautiful imagery highlighting Russia's effect on Western culture and style throughout the 20th century. Stunning photographs of stars including Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich are featured alongside fascinating facts and enchanting stories which illustrate the almost forgotten influence of this nation.
