Know This Ardent and Glorious Russian Designer

Europe may be renowned as the fashion capital in the world, but Russia will undeniably disagree with this contention because of its own first-rate and classy fashion designs. Well, thanks to its ardent designers like Romaine de Tirtoff, also called Erte, the Russian runway is alive and progressive. Born on Russian soil on the 23rd of November 1892, Romaine de Tirtoff was among the most remarkable and renowned stylists of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Romaine de Tirtoff learned about his designing talent when he sketched a beautiful outfit for his cherished mom, Natalia Mikhailova, at the tender age of six. Since then, his mother knew that this artistic child had a gigantic potential to succeed. So, she corresponded when Romaine de Tirtoff wanted to attain a fashion degree in France and, soon, enter the high-class industry.

This trendy couturier flew to to France to pursue his career and was accepted by the Damsky Mir magazine as a fashion contributor. The climax of his career was when he toiled in the Haper's Bazaar magazine and created dress designs for a renowned French couturier, Paul Poiret.

Romaine de Tirtoff's death at the age of 60 was depressing, but the cheerful side was, his name is among the pillars of the Russian fashion history.
