    Pearl Story by Igor Gulyaev

    Igor Gulyaev  was the show that closed 31st season of Mercedes-Benz Russian fashion week. Without Sugarcoat watched the backstage of the brand and shot it for you. Nacre tints of mother-of-pearl shells faded softly on muslin imperial dresses, and shimmering tear-drops of beads fluttered on gauze veils of the hats, adorned with creamy feathers.
