Put an end to the controversy and tell, from whom Nadia Sheveleva got her legendary brown dress Bashny.Net

Recently, a cup of tea was remembered with his mother Soviet films. And when it came to everyone's favorite winter comedy, my mom said, "The Irony of Fate" is a good movie. For a stable Soviet man, such a turn of fate was almost an extreme parachute jump.



Instagram Today editorial office "Site" It tells us why we love this movie. And we also reveal some details that have bothered everyone for many years.

Irony of Fate is a good movie, and it’s true. Most of us still live according to the Soviet stable system – home, work, shop. Sometimes a pre-planned holiday or celebration. Everything is smooth, clear and stable. And this is how a person lives from year to year and feels happy. A trip to another city, completely unplanned. Meeting with a completely stranger who becomes the most dear and close to you in one night. And life is turned upside down. The address is the same and life is completely different.



Instagram But back to the movie. For the mid-70s, the film was very modern. It depicted the whole life of a Soviet man, with the receipt of an apartment and the celebration of the New Year with neighbors on the landing. And in this film popularized such professions as a doctor and teacher. In Soviet times, it was almost as prestigious as an engineer. Every viewer saw in the apartment Nadia painfully familiar interior. And the festive outfit of the teacher - brown dress, cut the heart alive.



This is now we buy a New Year’s outfit for its color, fashion, style and psychological characteristics of the personality. There was no such luxury in the Soviet Union. And if you could buy a new thing, then it automatically becomes festive and waited in the chiffonyra for its release. In addition, a dress with a cut skirt around the waist in the style of safari at that time was very popular. This fashion appeared thanks to the famous Yves Saint Laurent and his famous collection of safaris. The dress code requirements for teachers were very strict.



In those days, teachers could not afford to show up for work in a bright color suit. Their appearance should not distract students from studying. Today, this style of clothing is called office. Safari style has become common and everyday for us. And as always, the image is complemented by accessories. Add massive earrings and bracelets, beads or brooch and the image from everyday turns into festive. By the way, who carefully watched “The Irony of Fate or With a Light Steam!”, he remembers that Nadia had beautiful beads.

Both the dress and the beads in the good movie The Irony of Fate have a very interesting story. And they first appeared in the also good film “Dangerous Turn”. Many fashion critics have broken more than one spear in the evidence base of one dress or two different. But today we can put an end to this dispute. The dress is really one, only modified in style.



When the film “Dangerous Turn” was released in 1972, one of the heroines played by Antonina Suranova appeared in a long brown dress. The dress was supposed to reflect the image of a secular Soviet lady. The dress was decorated with convex buttons, and the waist was emphasized by a translucent black bag. Long beads black with gold complemented the image of the heroine. Three years later, the film “The Irony of Fate” is released and the screen again has a brown dress.



Only now it's shortened, the buttons replaced with simpler ones and instead of a kushak belt made of the same fabric as the dress. It turns out that the costume designer in these two films was Olga Kruchinina. And to save the budget of the film just decided to remake the dress to a modern version. In my opinion, it turned out quite well, although I would like a more festive outfit for the main character.

By the way, the style of the 70s is again in fashion, so you can not be afraid to experiment with different clothes, styles and colors. Today we have more freedom and choice of clothes than Soviet women. Do you like the movie The Irony of Fate? Share in the comments your memories of this film.
