Snapped by Tommy Ton: “If she took off the jacket, the hat and the bag, she could wear it to a gala”

Of all the designers out there, I feel like whatever Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli create for Valentino, you can wear day or night. They’re the designers every woman wants to invest in. Usually when I see someone wearing a head-to-toe designer look, it makes me want to turn my camera and look the other way, but you know instinctively when it feels right and when it’s incredibly visually engaging. Anya Ziourova is quite a chameleon. There are certain instances, like fashion week, where she plays with colour and blurs the lines. She’s Russian, and this feels very Bohemian-Russian. If she took off the jacket, the hat and the bag, she could wear it to a gala. By putting on the accessories, it’s a little bit more casual for the intent of fashion week. With Valentino, there’s a certain lightness in the way they design dresses. When she moves from side to side, the beaded panels move around her. It’s quite beautiful. There aren’t a lot of clothes that have beauty in movement.
