The first year in may in Moscow are traditional horse races, where many famous ladies. Fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev has carefully considered the toilets and hats celebrities and was not very happy with the results.

“Remember the story, begins the story of our resident expert. — Horse racing became very popular in the XIX century, when not only in Britain but also in France, there is great racecourses. There came to know and ladies of the demimonde. Obligatory condition was to demonstrate a new outfit and hat. In Russia in tsarist times racing were also in fashion. Remember the novel “Anna Karenina”.

After the revolution, the attitude to racing in our country has changed. As a social event they were perceived not so long ago. About 20 years ago. But the culture of wearing hats, and to this day, almost non-existent. Our ladies often do not think about the integrity of the image. Many people do not know hats for the races, it is customary to choose extravagant. Like the ones I saw on the famous events on the Longchamp Racecourse at the border of the Bois de Boulogne, they can be called masterpieces. Then there just was not: the bull’s head, castle, cake, stunning flower beds, nests with birds. But looking at the hats of our stars understand that many people are afraid to be extravagant and hard to stand out. And suddenly their stigmatized? And why choose some banal, not interesting options like the resort, or slurred nagabuchi. No one remembered the veil. Everyone seems to have forgotten about what summer flowers look good in hats. I’m not talking about gloves, the accessory that will show your belonging to the cream of society. A word of advice: jump is a joyful event, and they don’t have to remind you Halloween or a bunch of witches!”

“Elena and I Fly I recently participated in one TV show, and I thought she was very beautiful, slender and stylish woman. But her outfit and the headpiece is not for racing. It looks like a bridesmaid at a marriage ceremony in the UK, in Spain. Where else can you get dressed? Christening of the newborn. The second little hat-a tablet is also another story. She goes to court for divorce together with a strict black suit. To sweeten the pill of her ex-husband”.
