The end of “Fashionable Sentence”: Channel One refused to renew the contract with Alexander Vasiliev 03/07/2023, 14:45

The popular project about the transformation of ordinary people into bright and stylish personalities was pulled from the broadcast network in March of last year. Entertainment content has been replaced by serious analytical and news programs.

Some “light” shows gradually returned to the air. Moderator of “Fashion Sentence” Alexander Vasiliev was sure that the same fate awaits him and his colleagues. He only assured that the show will have to be restarted in a new format, as one of the presenters, Nadezhda Babkina, managed to find work on another channel during this time. The 72-year-old People’s Artist of Russia hosts the Fashion vs Folk program together with stylist Vlad Lisovets.

When asked if Fashion Sentence will return to Channel One, the artist responded with hope. “Definitely and we’re all looking forward to it. I think it will be very soon and I am sure that everything will happen, “Vasiljeva is quoted by RIA Novosti.

In addition, assuming that direct competitors appeared at NTV, Alexander Alexandrovich hoped for a special placement of the channel’s management and a revision of working conditions. “The contract between Evelina Khromchenko and mine ended on December 31 last year. We have annual contracts, but no new ones have been signed. Everything depends on what fee will be offered to us in the conditions of ruble hyperinflation. I am sure that if we agree, we will soon return to Channel One, “said the fashion historian in an interview with Woman.ru.

However, the news of Fashion Sentence’s return turned out to be very premature. At the beginning of the SVO, Alexander made anti-Russian statements that had negative consequences for him. In addition, he often goes to France for business and work, he has real estate in Paris. Today it became clear that Channel One rejected the services of a fashion historian – he was not destined to return to the velvet chair of the show’s presenter, reports StarHit.

However, Vasilyev will not remain without work and income – he writes columns for several publications, publishes books on the history of fashion. In addition, the showman has an impressive collection of clothes – from vintage and rare suits to outfits of iconic Russian and foreign stars. Alexander organizes exhibitions, conducts classes and lectures all over the country.

Other popular projects of the First are still on hold – “Let’s get married!” with Larisa Guzeeva and “Evening Urgant” with Ivan Urgant.
