Vogue Russia June 2006.

Tanya D by Lee Broomfield.

This issue is devoted to gold, the most precious and desirable material of this summer’s collections. Designers have proven that the place of gold in fashion is eternal, and that this king of metals should be worn, valued and respected.
However, despite our knowledge of the gold of the ancient Summerians, and the gold of the communist party, we still don’t know why gold has always provoked such universal lust and greed. And even though we use the stuff to gild monuments, or even stretch it into such fine thread that it seems like silk, it is still unclear what practical benefit it can bring us.
But one thing is clear: the celestial brilliance of dresses from Burberry Prorsum, LouisVuitton and Anna Molinari, the metallic sheen of Emilio Pucci coats and the clink of glittering bracelets from Bottega Veneta are enough to forgive gold all the mortal sins and all the souls it has driven to perdition.
