The inspiration for Ms. Luzhina-Salazar's latest collection to be shown at Couture Fashion Week in New York is the "kokoshnik", a traditional Russian women's headdress. The kokoshnik has been worn along with the serafan dress for centuries, and is now most often seen in Russian folk costumes.
One of the costumes worn by the character of Princess Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars saga (the "Gold Travel Costume"), was based on the Russian national costume with the kokoshnik.
Couture Fashion Week is a multi-day event showcasing couture and luxury fashion. It also includes exhibits of luxury brands and fine art as well as world-class entertainment and receptions. The event is held at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City and occasionally in other selected cities and is attended by upscale consumers, invited VIPs, the press and high-end store buyers.
Evgenia Luzhina-Salazar was born in Moscow.
