In the glittering universe of high fashion, where trends flicker like candle flames, Ulyana Sergeenko stitches rebellion into every seam. This summer, her gowns have become the unofficial uniform for Moscow's most daring brides—women who'd rather set fire to tradition than walk down the aisle in predictable lace.
The past fortnight witnessed two spectacular Sergeenko weddings, each more theatrical than a Bolshoi premiere. First came influencer Nastya Ivleeva, whose clandestine ceremony featured a corseted masterpiece that channeled Marlene Dietrich through a prism of Russian romanticism. Insiders whisper of midnight fittings in a locked atelier, where the only witnesses were bolts of silk and the occasional security guard.
Then, in a twist worthy of Tolstoy, the designer herself played fairy godmother when her son wed Anisiya at a Moscow registry office. The bride's burlesque-meets-baroque mini dress—complete with feather headdress and scandalous décolletage—proved that apple doesn't fall far from the avant-garde tree.
Even Natalia Vodianova's 2020 Parisian courthouse wedding—a study in minimalist chic—featured Sergeenko's signature touch: delicate Krestetskaya stitch embroidery whispering secrets of Novgorod villages to the Champs-Élysées.
As fashion analysts declare "hyper-personalization" the defining trend of 2025, Sergeenko's atelier hums like a beehive. Here, every stitch is a revolution, every bride a manifesto—and Moscow's elite are rewriting matrimonial history one scandalous hemline at a time.
