Problems of style in modern fashion art on the example of Ianis Chamalidy's creativity

The article is devoted to the problems of modern Russian fashion on the example of the creative work of St Petersburg designer Ianis Chamalidi. Who is now a prominent participant in the modern art process in the field of fashion? Many magazine articles have been written about the work of this famous St Petersburg designer. Ianis Chamalidi is actively involved in creative projects. He cooperates with the State Hermitage Museum, where many of his works are kept in the collection. The author concludes that St. Petersburg designers are in a situation where they have to compete not only with representatives of the world fashion, but also with the fashion of the capital city. Nevertheless, graduates of the Leningrad – St. Petersburg School of costume design often remain loyal to their city, forming a unique style of St. Petersburg fashion. In this sense, the example of Ianis Chamalidi’s work is a perfect illustration of how the transition period of the 1990s saw the emergence of modern Russian fashion under the new economic situation.
