The woman in question, 32-year-old Ulyana Sergeenko, a Russian couture shopper turned designer, became known in industry circles when her theatrical, Soviet-inspired style—dressed to the nines outside every fashion show, much to the delight of photographers—landed her on every street-style blog.

“She is very good at giving more than what is expected, that last oomph,” explains Natalia Vodianova, the Russian supermodel. Vodianova became a fan the first time they met. It was at a cocktail party in Moscow two years ago, and Vodianova told Sergeenko that she adored what she was wearing. “She said she had designed it, and that her first show was the night before. The next day the entire outfit arrived at my house, along with flowers and chocolate,” Vodianova remembers. “She knows how to leave a lasting impression.” Sergeenko is part of the new wave of beautiful, superstylish Russians omnipresent on the fashion scene.

Last summer, Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenkofamously showed up in Paris to show her Haute Couture collection.  Despite a formal invitation from France’s Fédération Française de la Couture, the designer returned in January, with a gorgeous fairy tale-inspired collection of bustles, ballgowns, embroidered details and more. Here is the lookbook shot by photographer Nickolas Sushkevich, released this past week.
