Prerevolutionary Russia was renowned for the glam- orous and
luxurious lifestyles of the nobility, with their opulent palaces
and glittering social life. Now, this lavish volume reveals the
incredible clothing they wore, from everyday dress and ceremonial
attire (traditional holidays outfits and military uniforms) to
dress for special occasions, including elaborate evening wear for
theater and musical events and fancy masquerade balls. Celebrated
for luxurious materials and impeccable craftsmanship, the dress of
the Russian nobility was haute couture at its finest. With
beautiful photog- raphy and details highlighting the hand-spun
silks and lace and jeweled embroideries, Russian Splendor
highlights the glamour of this gilded age and offers a fascinating
window into a vanished world. Essays by Hermitage Museum curators,
alongside historic Russian paintings and photographs, place the
clothing in a historical context, revealing the rich cultural
layers and artistic influences of czarist Russia.
