Extending the Runway: Tatiana Sorokko Style

Extending the Runway: Tatiana Sorokko Style an inspiring and historically import fashion exhibition drawn from the private wardrobe and couture collection of international model Tatiana Sorokko makes its U.S. debut, September 16 at Phoenix Art Museum. Spanning the 20th century through, the exhibition is an engaging look at works by legendary designers and fashion houses such as Jean Paul Gaultier, James Galanos, Ralph Rucci and Vivienne Westwood.

Tatiana Sorokko was among the first Russian models to achieve international success after Perestroika. Moving from Moscow to Paris in 1990, she walked the runways for major designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld, Miuccia Prada, Issey Miyake, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein. For over a decade, Sorokko graced the covers and editorial pages of European and American magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Elle and Cosmopolitan. Her influence as an international style setter and taste maker extends well beyond the runway; Sorokko was named to the International Top 100 Best Dressed list by American Vogue in 2000 and the Best Dressed Women of All Time list by Harper's Bazaar in 2007.

Extending the Runway is a celebration of Sorokko's international fashion career, her trendsetting vision and unique style. The installation encompasses two Museum galleries and features 60 garments and accessories by Balenciaga, Balmain, Comme des Garcons, Fortuny, Ferre, Halston, Hermes, Madame Gres, Patou, Paquin, Ungaro and Yamamoto, among others

Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs, youthful-looking 45-year-old, launched his own label back in 1986, was appointed as creative director at Louis Vuitton a decade later in 1997, and created his hugely popular diffusion label Marc by Marc Jacobs in 2001. In total, he puts on eight catwalk shows every year. He believes that good design and quirky fashion should be available to everyone, and for that reason, his stores sell products ranging from around £1 (for a compact mirror)to clothes with five-figure price tags.

American fashion designer Marc Jacobs's creations are perhaps the most imitative in the industry right now. His work creates such a buzz that it filters down from designer boutiques to the high street faster than tittle-tattle, and the chances are that, if you're even slightly interested in fashion, you'll have something in your wardrobe the idea for which originated in Jacobs' studio.

It is for this reason that the designer's autumn/winter 2009 New York Fashion Week show on Monday was so enthusiastically anticipated. This season's feature collections in the round of catwalk shows are the first to be conceived and manufactured during the depths of the critical situation, and are therefore the first opportunity to see how the financial climate will affect the way we will all be dressing over the coming year. Essentially, the way Jacobs chooses to respond to the depression will be the way we all do.

As for the collection itself, like many designers this season, he's looking back to the 1980s, with crayon-bright hues, big padded shoulders and even bigger hair.

Colourful and optimistic, Jacobs' collection suggested that perhaps women will respond to the financial climate by splashing out and dressing up.

"Marc Jacobs shows collections that are fashion-forward and just really cool," says Scottish fashion designer Scott Ramsay-Kyle.

Well he is the one designer to whom every level person likes and love him a lot just because of its fantastic and creative working. his outfits are superb.Overall he is a creative person having a good nature.
