Marina Yudashkina: biography
Spouse famous fashion designer was born in 1958. Her parents - ordinary people. Marina does not have any rich relatives. Therefore, the first rumor can be safely dispelled. Our heroine studied at high school. I brought home fours and fives. Since childhood, she liked to cut and sew clothes for dolls. She was also attracted to hairdressing.
Even after graduating from school, Marina Yudashkina could not decide what she liked best. As a result, she decided to master both hairdressing and the profession of a clothing cutter. Marina Yudashkina, whose biography interests many today, did not imagine that both skills would be useful to her in the future.
Meet Valentin Yudashkin
During the Soviet era, such a profession as a fashion designer simply did not exist. Valentin spent his days creating patterns for dresses, blouses and skirts. A variety of materials were used. Friends and relatives brought him something. Marina became seriously interested in hairdressing. Soon fate brought these two creative people together.
Their acquaintance happened many years ago. Marina and Valentin worked at the same enterprise, opened under the Ministry of Fashion Industry. Our heroes were often sent on business trips around the country. If you think that then they started the usual love affair at work, then you are wrong. The relationship developed later and was more romantic in nature.
Relationship
When Marina Vladimirovna Yudashkina was a member of the Russian national hairdressing team, she needed an assistant. Soon she found him in the person of Valentin. Being a professional artist, he helped select outfits and hairstyles. At first, the young people did not feel much sympathy for each other. But one day they met eyes and realized that this was fate. Their romance developed at incredible speed. Valentin and Marina tried to spend as much time as possible together. They hugged and kissed like schoolchildren. Marina managed to win over Valentin’s mother. On the very first day, the woman realized that her future daughter-in-law had such qualities as kindness and sincerity.
Family
3 months after they met, the newlyweds began preparing for the wedding. Valentin himself made a dress for his beloved. It turned out gorgeous, all with live orchids. According to the legend, the groom should not see the bride’s outfit before the wedding. But Marina and Valentin are not superstitious people. Nothing bad happened to them. The couple have been living together for more than 25 years.
First difficulties
Marina Yudashkina understood that her husband’s occupation had to communicate with long-legged fashion models. But she could not suppress the feeling of jealousy. Soon she came up with a wonderful idea - to become her husband’s assistant, his right hand. For this, Marina had to give up her job as a hairdresser-stylist. She did not act as an assistant for long. The girl found out that she was expecting a child. In 1990, the couple had a charming daughter, who was named Galina.
Marina spent almost all her time on the baby. Career faded into the background. Difficult times have come to the country. Problems arose with the sale of clothing created by Yudashkin. To feed themselves and their daughter, the couple were forced to sell their car and antique furniture.
Now Marina and Valentin are doing well. Their trademark Yudashkin Jeans is incredibly popular among Russians and residents of the CIS.
Scandal
Not so long ago the main character Marina Yudashkina became the yellow press. The photo of the fashion designer's wife was published in magazines and newspapers with millions of copies. The woman was accused of organizing a gambling club. Later it turned out that Valentin Yudashkin’s wife had nothing to do with this.
The journalists did not understand the circumstances of the incident and created a huge scandal. It turns out that in December last year Marina rented out an apartment to a certain native of Belarus. But she was just a figurehead. People who settled in star apartments brought poker tables and slot machines. The police conducted a search in the apartment after a complaint from neighbors.
Although many believe that not a single “top” event can take place without Yudashkin, he himself does not like social events. He tries to visit only his friends, and at the most significant moments of their lives. As for relaxation, he prefers to “taste it” purely in “civilized” places with good cuisine and an atmosphere of calm and comfort. He is the kind of person who prefers all the “charms” modern life– purely home environment and comfort.Childhood and the first “universities” of Valentin Yudashkin
Valentin Yudashkin was born on October 14, 1963 in the small village of Bakovka near Moscow. His passion for a not entirely masculine activity—clothing design—appeared in him as early as school years.

Family and personal life
Of course, the most prominent fashion designer in Russia is Valentin Yudashkin. His biography is more replete with facts from professional life rather than some gossip. Valentin has been married for a long time and, apparently, happily. Contrary to the established stereotype, he, like few other people in his profession, is a bearer of traditional sexual orientation. His wife Marina also works in the beauty industry - she is a hair stylist and has many international prizes and awards in her field. Serves as senior collections manager at her husband's House. Who knows, perhaps it was the reliable rear that helped Valentin confidently go through all the trials.
Only daughter Galina was often a model at shows of her collections. famous father. It's hard to stay away if your parents have their own fashion house, which is also a global brand. Now Galina is already adult girl, a photographer by profession, she already has her own family. Valentin Abramovich's father has been dead for a long time, and his mother, Raisa Petrovna, also works at the Fashion House, holding the position of manager there. As Yudashkin himself said in an interview, the family should not be exposed to the public. It is worthy of respect that his name in the media has never been mixed with any scandals or family squabbles. The only thing is that there were several short messages that the father, Abram Iosifovich, killed him in a fight many years ago sibling. Press coverage of this fact is, rather, the result of journalists’ persistent desire to find some dark spot in the maestro’s biography - everything cannot be perfect. Marina Yudashkina was noted in the press in 2015 in connection with a scandal about an underground casino in the house of which she is the owner. There is no direct evidence of her involvement in this.
Yudashkin's style and creativity
You can see from the collection models how much Valentin loves dresses. His style is associated with boldness and originality, but you will never find pretentiousness or tasteless displays of wild imagination in his work. Fur, decoration with embroidery and rhinestones - all this impeccably distinguishes his unique models. In 2003 in Moscow, everyone could visit his unique personal exhibition. In addition to all the available regalia, Yudashkin also holds the title of honorary academician Russian Academy arts It is permissible to talk about the couturier’s works in artistic terms, so his style can be classified as avant-garde. Not everyone manages to create works of fashion design art from clothes.
One of the first creative triumphs was the “Christmas Dream” collection. There were mid-length skirts trimmed with beads and lace, feathers on jacket collars, fur lapels and coat sleeves. Headdresses are presented in the form of graceful top hats, white fur hats and large berets. But the highlight of the collection was the neckerchiefs. The final model was a dress representing a Christmas tree. Valentin Yudashkin’s show, entitled “Black and White Cinema,” is another striking manifestation of his talent. The models were made of embossed and ostrich-feather leather, covered with gilding. Even blouses were made from this material. And, surprisingly, the collection did not contain the slightest hint of the roughness that usually accompanies leather clothing.
The autumn-winter season of 2015 was marked new collection"Romantic rock and roll." The desire to look for inspiration, including in the past, did not bypass Yudashkin. The fashion of the 1980s and 1990s is felt here. The couturier masterfully combined rebellion and elegance, managing to create a truly feminine image. Of course, black became the main color, but it was skillfully diluted with other shades - brown, gray, white and beige. Well, where without details - pink branches and flowers made of black lacquer in signature prints skillfully smoothed out the inherent brutality of the rock style. Contrary to the stereotype, taffeta, stretch knitwear, chiffon and lace, jacquard and velvet were used instead of leather. All this emphasized a clear silhouette with an accentuated waist. Once again Valentin Yudashkin managed to combine the incongruous. Who else could pull off a harmonious ensemble of formal trousers and revealing necklines and miniskirts? The typical rock 'n' roll jacket has been given a true feminine touch thanks to its fur. The collection also includes evening dresses.
Valentin has his own personal museum in which he keeps his favorite models. His works can also be found in private collections. Yudashkin loves and knows how to combine the most unexpected things, materials and images; he does not accept cheap fabrics and finishing elements - everything must be expensive and elite. There are branches of Valentin Yudashkin's Fashion House in Milan and Paris - two capitals of world fashion.
Not everything is so smooth
We can talk a lot more about how much Valentin Yudashkin has done for Russian fashion. Biography of this genius man filled true love to his work and boundless diligence. But the career of the great fashion designer was not always marked by success. In 2007, Yudashkin began creating a collection of uniforms for the Russian military. And in 2012, negative articles were published in the media, casting a shadow on the reputation of the Haute Couture House. It was noted that the military uniform is made of low-quality fabrics and is far from flawless in design.
Yudashkin himself commented on this fact, saying that the released models have nothing to do with his work. The Ministry of Defense made adjustments at its own discretion, as a result of which the issued uniform can no longer refer to the Yudashkin brand. The project, which was carefully thought out to the smallest detail, into which Valentin put his soul, as in all his collections, was failed due to the unprofessional intervention of others. No one ever answered the couturier’s question about why all this was done, despite his numerous requests to the relevant departments.
Yudashkin show
For several years in a row, on March 8, Valentin has been organizing an original event with the participation of show business stars. This year, the “White Nights” collection was presented at Yudashkin’s show. It is not difficult to guess that it was St. Petersburg that inspired the maestro to create it. The main idea is illusory, the colors are smoky and delicate shades of blue and gray. The now fashionable trend from the 1990s - accentuated shoulders and waist - is masterfully played out. Evening and cocktail dresses are decorated with beaded embroidery self made, sequins and rhinestones. The main material of the collection - silk - is combined with chiffon and tulle. Fashion connoisseurs and domestic stars attended this show, however, not a single one was left without their attention.
