What is the uniqueness of a Russian woman: one penetrating quote by Valentin Yudashkin explains everything Star

After many years of fighting cancer, the great Russian fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin died and with him an entire era. Fortunately, we have a lot of interviews with the couturier, in which you can learn a lot of his interesting thoughts about life.

Yudashkin, for example, in one of his long-term interviews with reporters, talked about the phenomenon of Russian women. With one spacious expression, Valentin destroyed the myth that our ladies do not like and do not know how to take care of themselves, and an iron argument in favor of the uniqueness of Russian women and their advantages against the background of foreign women.

“There is a widespread stereotype that our women are less groomed than in the West. This is from the same opera where we have eternal winter and bears walk the streets. Always, even in difficult times of small salaries, they looked for an opportunity to dress beautifully, found fashionable lipstick, perfume. This fact has now somehow been forgotten, – said the late master of fashion.

Valentin Yudashkin took a similar view amid the coronavirus pandemic. He then noted that no restrictions in the form of medical face masks and forced isolation will prevent a real woman from being herself and striving for beauty:

“I think women, like no one else, want to go out more, dress up and like themselves. This is the woman: in every story she will look for how to look her best – with a mask, without a mask, in pants or in a miniskirt.

The only thing that the Russian couturier honestly did not understand and condemned was the reluctance to invest in one’s own beauty. According to Yudashkin, a real woman simply cannot save on herself.
