We presented the new costumes at the IV International Fashion Week “Matryoshka Fashion Week”. The ensemble members will perform in the new look at events dedicated to the 800th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod.

The new design of the concert costumes of the Governorate Orchestra was selected in a competition held by the Ministry of Culture of the Nizhny Novgorod Region in cooperation with the Nizhny Novgorod branch of the Union of Designers of Russia. 24 sketches were sent by authors from the Nizhny Novgorod and Ivanovo regions, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Irkutsk, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. Elena Babinova from Sarov won the competition. At the gala show, she also presented two of her collections, and as part of the general awards ceremony for the participants, she received a winner’s diploma.
She prepared her work in collaboration with Zhanna Kachanovich from Great Britain.

New concert costumes for men consist of elongated trench coats and trousers, for women – skirts and jackets. Also, the costumes are complemented by high hats. The clothes are decorated with gold embroidery, traditional for the Nizhny Novgorod region.
