Moscow style

 Recently on my summer break I travelled to Moscow, Russia. Like all cities there are tourist areas and the "poverty" areas. Moscow overall was a vibrant and beautiful city - the streets buzzed with people from many cultures. Every morning the metro was jam packed, it was unlike any metro I had ever seen. The chandeliers were made from crystal and the floors marble. Moscow is quickly becoming a fashion capital, having an influence on the rest of the world!

Moscow underground 

The one thing that surprised me most when in Moscow was how the women dressed. Their appearance was immaculate, all with manicures and sky scraper stilettos. I was amazed to see how effortlessly they strutted up and down stairs and on and off the escalators without one wobble.  

In the centre is Red Square and the Kremlin, and they were full of tourists. The size of it was just HUGE! The amount of wealth was incredible.

GUM, State owned shopping centre 

The shopping centre pictured above is known as GUM, and is very famous. Inside there is every "posh" shop imaginable.  There are three levels inside and three columns (which can get rather confusing). 

Recently this moth on July 9th Dior put on its second show in Moscow outside GUM, Red Square - the first show was held in 1959. Especially for the Dior show a mirrored pavilion was made.
