Woody, Mia Do Scenes of a Toy Store

Los Angeles Times, Sep 21, 1990


 * TABLE-TURNING, HEAD-TURNING:With Western fashion influences now firmly entrenched in the Soviet Union, Slava Zaitsev, favorite couturier to Raisa Gorbachev, is out to conquer this country. The first Soviet designer to have his own label recently unveiled his brand of chic before a minimally dressed crowd at Bar One in West Hollywood. The show, sponsored by Bowles/Sorokko Galleries, featured an uneven collection of lipstick red suits that had a strong Chanel influence, black beaded cocktail ensembles and folklore-inspired tunic outfits with a decidely theatrical flair. The clothes, considered revolutionary by the Soviet elite, may soon be appearing in Los Angeles stores. Says Serge Sorokko, his representative here, "Slava has rejected unsubstantial offers. He is really looking to make a big hit."
