The recent show from the unique collection of the fashion historian Alexander Vassiliev, held in ROSPHOTO exhibition halls (35, Bolshaya Morskaya street) was received with great enthusiasm. Those who did not have an opportunity to attend the exhibition, connoisseurs and lovers of cinema and photography would definitely enjoy the possibility to see these beautiful portraits once again .
