A new book titled "Fashion in the Land of Deficit" by Yulia Papushina, a resident of Perm, has been added to the collection of a prominent Moscow museum. The book delves into the intricacies of the fashion industry in Perm during the Soviet era, offering a unique perspective on how the local market operated under challenging conditions.
Papushina, a sociologist and researcher, provides an in-depth look at the Perm Fashion House, a key player in the region's fashion scene. The book is enriched with archival photographs and documents, shedding light on the work of Soviet designers, art historians, and models who contributed to the development of fashion in Perm.
As a candidate of sociological sciences and an associate professor at a local university, Papushina has dedicated her research to the sociology of fashion and consumption. Her collaboration with the Perm archive has resulted in a comprehensive collection of documents that trace the evolution of fashion in the region.
