A Russian Fashion Week record — Masha Sharoeva in the March 2006 designer showcase, kept as the record of the show.
Masha Sharoeva showed at Russian Fashion Week in March 2006, in the designer showcase linked above. This record carries her biography as published for the season, together with two runway photographs of the show, pictured by Maria Valentino, Firstview. Her 2005 record is in this guide as well and is linked from this page.
The biography below describes a designer who arrived at the runway by an unusual road: a higher musical education, study at the Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute, and training at Slava Zaitsev's Fashion Laboratory, where her entrance works won the Maestro's high appraisal. By the March 2006 season she was also an established costume designer for film and advertising.

The record traces the prizes that marked her training years: top awards at the Russian Silhouette contests, the SMIRNOFF Design International prize, and the Nadezhda Lamanova professional designers' contest, which her "Materialization of Space" collection won. As the best 2001 graduate of the Fashion Laboratory she took a practical course at the Saga Furs of Scandinavia design centre in Copenhagen, and in October 2003 she was among the winners at the Velvet Seasons in Sochi fashion festival. Alongside the runway work, the biography lists her costume design for studios and agencies, including the costumes for the film Turkish Gambit. The March 2006 collection walked in the middle of that double career.
The education list in the biography deserves a second reading, because it explains the double career. Music first, then painting and graphic arts at the Surikov institute, then a fashion laboratory run by one of the founding figures of Russian fashion — that is a formation in three arts before a single collection, and it shows in the work the record goes on to describe: contest collections with titles like "Materialization of Space", and costume design trusted by film directors and cameramen whose names the biography lists with care.
Now Masha Sharoeva is a costume designer for such advertising agencies as A.C.Production,Art Pictures,Action Film, NFQ, Yartche!
