The fashion house Ianis Chamalidy and KADIS have been cooperating since 2000. And we follow with interest the successes of the young talented St. Petersburg designer Janis Chamalidi and are glad to present you his Success Story, which was compiled by Anna Paskarenko, KADIS specialist.

Janis Chamalidi was born on June 24, 1976. He received a higher art education at the St. Petersburg Art and Industry Academy named after V.I. Mukhina. The designer presented his first collection to the public and critics at the age of 17 at the "Petersburg Style" competition in the "Europe" hotel in 1993.

This was followed by a show of the collection of "ready-made dresses" at the "Days of St. Petersburg Fashion" competition in the Big Concert Hall "Oktyabrsky". In the same year, Janis took part in the final show of "young artists" held by the Union of Artists of St. Petersburg.

In 1997 Ianis Chamalidy Fashion House was opened. Representatives of the Russian cultural elite become clients of the Ianis Chamalidy Fashion House.

Since 1998, Ianis Chamalidy Fashion House has been creating women's pret-a-porter collections every season, working with buyers of multi-brand stores in Russia, organizing seasonal shows of the pret-a-porter line and taking part in specialized exhibitions in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg.

Twice - in 1999 and 2004, Janis Chamalidi received the title of Designer of the Year.

In 2003, together with the Swiss House of Textiles by Jacob Schlepfer, the designer creates a haute couture collection dedicated to the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg. The collection of Janis Chamalidi "The Scarlet Flower" is a brilliant attempt to revive the true historical spirit of St. Petersburg, which has absorbed the heritage of great eras and styles. In the images created by his own fantasy, Janis Chamalidi brings a synthesis of the mystical, poetic and architectural space of St. Petersburg, his unique and rich cultural biography Janis Chamalidi traces to the modern era. Without betraying its authentic handwriting, the couturier pays great attention to handicraft in the creation of fabrics and images.

Since 2004, Ianis Chamalidy clothing has been sold in multi-brand boutiques in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg and other cities of Russia.

Creating his collections, Janis Chamalidi uses the art of drapery, bringing the embodied images to perfection on a living model. Embodying the image through fabric and cut, Janis Chamalidi comprehends the features of constructive and artistic solutions in historical costumes. The fashion designer strives to revive the St. Petersburg traditions, collaborating with the Russian Museum and the State Hermitage.

Since 2004, the collection of the fashion house Ianis Chamalidy has been presented as part of the Milan Fashion Week, the brand has been exhibited in showrooms in Moscow, Paris, Milan and Tokyo.

The Yanis Chamalidy brand is purely local, St. Petersburg, and the founder of the brand agrees with this. Twenty years ago, Janis chose to stay in St. Petersburg, did not leave for Moscow and absolutely did not regret it.

- Each designer has his own goal. My goal was to develop as an artist, learn the basics of marketing, correctly build a dialogue between me and a client.

- How many people are working on the brand?

- The main backbone is more than 50 people. Not every fashion designer can boast of his own production: we have a factory in the center of St. Petersburg, this is a prerequisite if you want to control quality. We are consistently delivering premium products. If we talk about clothes, then in a season it is about 3 thousand units, with shoes, accessories, bags - many times more.

- For many, acquaintance with the brand began with wedding clothes.

- For me, a bride is a gentle, quivering creature. This is Flora, a creature from another world, she gives life, is born as Venus Botticelli from foam. This is femininity in its primordial, sacred understanding.

- And if you descend from heaven to earth, what percentage of sales falls on the wedding collection?

- 50% of the turnover of the fashion house - wedding dresses. We have them very simple, simple, but at the same time elegant. This is not a pudding or meringue, not even always made of tulle and lace: some women come for a laconic white dress. There are products from 45 thousand to several million rubles, the coverage is very wide.

- What is fashion for you: art or craft?

- When I created the flagship store, I chose the aesthetics of white space. My beloved Yohji Yamamoto says that for him fashion is an applied craft. For me she is art, and living in fashion means living in art. Therefore - a pure white space, like a canvas. Each new collection, be it chinoiserie, baroque or Russian style, looks different in this "frame".

- You started at the same time as a theater designer?

“And I am proud that“ Romeo and Juliet ”by the Jacobson Theater with my costumes has withstood 250 performances around the world. In general, all the creative people of St. Petersburg dress here - ballerinas, actresses. I am not even familiar with many of the celebrities (although I should have), despite the fact that they are longtime fans of the brand.

- All of you, and only Vishneva at Parfenova.

- I do not take in units, I take in volume. We are now talking about people who, perhaps, did not become Vishneva, but there are thousands of them. Yanis Chamalidy is perhaps the only designer brand in St. Petersburg that has gone beyond the scope of art workshops: we are standing in the "Gallery" on an area of ​​250 square meters. m, there is an online store, we have gigantic collections, they change several times a year. This is neither good nor bad - it is different.

- Are there any favorite celebrities with whom you work most often?

“I’m not looking for a meeting with them, I’m not promoting myself like a locomotive. My goal is to create a product and develop as an artist. Who said I was educated enough? I am always learning. The challenge to go beyond the possibilities and become truly recognizable is my first concern. And this takes a huge amount of time. Working on the Gothic collection, I went to France, to Toledo, the first capital of Spain, which was built by the Visigoths, then to Yuryev-Polsky and Vladimir to see what the Middle Ages were in Russia.

Very often celebrities find you themselves. We wore Patricia Kaas on our world tour: it was a simple, minimal design, devoid of swagger. She is elegant, charming, she has beautiful body lines - and that's enough! I am glad that I have such clients. The brand is chosen by creative people, they do not need rivets, rhinestones, feathers. They liked my Zen design: you have to be a person to wear it, you have to be something. When you hide behind feathers and rhinestones, you can be emptiness.

- How did your recent cooperation with the Hermitage and Konstantin Khabensky develop?

- This is a historical reconstruction, Konstantin plays a guide, a kind of guide through the halls and eras. At the very beginning of my career, I worked in the archives of the Hermitage, my costumes are kept in the museum, and this is wonderful. Apparently, the ideologists of the project decided that it was me who would be able to create a modern costume, which at the same time would look logical next to Catherine II and other historical characters. I am constantly looking for ideas in the archives, creating clothes for the XXI century, but hinting at the lines of the past.

- Do you still, while designing a dress, tear the fabric with your hands, as you did in your youth?

- Still. Creative processes are incomprehensible, sometimes it is an emotion.

- You buried the fabric in the ground, boiled it down, deliberately aged it - what now?

- We erase in sand and process in a special way. These are the unique fabrics of the Prato area, Florence. Do you see on this blouse - two layers and everything is laced with threads? The understanding of texture is very close to me.

- When you create a collection, what comes first: texture, silhouette, something else?

- The idea is based on the image. I do not create theatrical things, the clothes are absolutely understandable, be they shirts, bombers, parkas, coats. The spirit of the times is in the details: ties, transparency, so characteristic of the Renaissance, velvet, so intuitively close to the Spanish Middle Ages, a combination of black velvet and white underwear.

- Are there any countries where you come - and the eye rests?

- I love my country, I love its people, but my eye does not rest here. In Europe, I look at the elderly and rejoice: this is a beautiful old age. In Russia, old age is unsightly. As a designer, I live in the ugliest time. Even in Soviet times, women wore dresses, men wore suits, they changed shoes at the theater, looked very elegant. Do you know where I especially noted this? In the clinic. There were two camps. One - adult, ugly aging men: nothing in common with European, but at the same time - in two-piece suits. The second is youth: sweatpants, elongated knees, down jackets - a style free from everything. Young people do not know how to dress at all, they only study, although there are stylish young men and women here too. We will need several generations for the process to start.

- What must be in a woman's wardrobe?

- Everything that corresponds to her inner world and social markers.

- And if more specifically? Many people complain that dresses and skirts are less often worn than trousers.

- In terms of sales, we see absolutely the opposite: the last three years, trousers have given way to them, skirts and dresses are bestsellers, numbers are stubborn things.

Women want to be women. Dresses are worn by ladies in the comfort zone. Have you ever wondered why even in the 19th century, when men dressed in all black, strict, comfortable and began to work hard, they still dressed their companions like moths? They just let them be women. After World War II, men wanted a woman to plow. By the way, it was Yves Saint Laurent - and I worked as a representative of Yves Saint-Laurent in the North-West region for eight years - who dressed women in suits.

(Janis takes out a small box - R) This is IQOS, a special heating system for tobacco: innovation, very convenient, practical and fashionable. This is important to me because my hands don't smell. I gave up cigarettes while working as a YSL representative: I needed to be in close contact with clients, touch women's skin, and the smell from my hands is not luxury. IQOS gives you the opportunity to relax without these disadvantages.

- Are you working fast or not?

- I work very quickly, because I perfectly understand for whom I create clothes. Before us is a dress as the quintessence of the Yanis Chamalidy style, it can be transformed in many ways. Change the neckline - now a boat, then a V-shaped. It can be with a sad bow on the side in the style of the 30s, and the next moment - aggressively sexy. He is well characterized by the word "metamorphosis": I am Greek, and for us it is very close. The dress by Janis Chamalidi reflects the mood of the woman who wears it, does not subjugate her.

Natalia Chernyaeva

told our readers about his Greek origin and the influence of antiquity on his collections, about his favorite dress, which has eight ways to wear, who is an absolute person, and why designer clothes are an investment in their own style.

Janis, tell us how it all started? Who influenced your creative career choices?

For me, the choice of a profession is a kind of impulse from the outside, which was already determined by fate.

When did you create your first collection?

I was 17 years old, these were the first private fashion shows after the collapse of the Fashion House on Tukhachevsky Street and the Petrograd Fashion House. The collection was dedicated to the image of a business woman. There you could see clear shapes, cut, shoulder line, silhouette, in contrast to my second collection ...

It is very interesting to know about her!

The second collection was called "Africa", all items were created on the basis of drapery. It was a real fantasy! As my idol, Yves Saint Laurent, said, “There is always fabric, drapery and a woman’s body. This union gives birth to a work: be it a dress or a blouse. " These were the collections.

In the process of your formation, you probably faced difficulties. Who was your support and support?

Of course, this is my team, because the fashion business is always a collective creation.

Who are you creating for? Which woman is the heroine of your collections?

I always call it anima. For me, this is a creative person who, through clothes and the outside world, knows herself, is in constant search.

The haute couture line, in your case, is pure art, but is pret-a-porter still aimed at a commercial component?

Haute couture is always a creative search, pret-a-porter is already “polishing and grounding” an idea.

Do your clients buy haute couture clothes?

Certainly. The last dresses were acquired by Channel One for its program, TV presenter Alla Sigalova. For me, haute couture is not an extra idea that cannot be worn. These are handicrafts and unique fabrics. Of course, times are changing, and from haute couture today it has become a little closer to pret-a-porter. One dress can be made in different colors, while on each client it looks unique. The most important thing is that the product is created for a specific person, it is an individual approach.

Janis, I know that you created costumes for ballet performances for the St. Petersburg State Academic Ballet Theater? Do you continue to work in this direction?

Yes, I have worked with the Jacobson Theater and the Mariinsky Theater, and, of course, I continue to develop in this direction.

In what performances can you see your costumes?

In the ballet number "Leda and the Swan". I also created costumes for the famous artist of the Mariinsky Theater Igor Kolb for the production “Two on a Swing”.

You worked as a stylist at Yves Saint Laurent Beauty. What were your functions within the legendary brand?

For eight years, I represented the brand in the North-West region, in fact, I opened the name Yves Saint Laurent for Russia.

Janis Chamalidi ten years ago and today are they different people? What has the Russian design market taught you?

The Russian design market ten years ago could be compared to the operation "open field": there was no culture, understanding, style, production, factories - absolutely nothing. So I learned a lot here. Of course, the experience of working at Yves Saint Laurent helped me, because there I understood what good taste, high-quality fabrics, types of clients are. Paris played an important role in my development. There I learned the technique of creating and presenting a product: from a creative idea to a commercial component. I have successfully applied all this knowledge on Russian soil.

In which countries is your brand represented today, and how are customers receiving it there?

We are represented in the Parisian and Italian showrooms, as well as in Japan, Tokyo. I believe that the Janis Chamalidi brand has a unique style that does not leave indifferent foreign buyers.

Do you have a favorite or special item from your collection?

Yes, this is a greek-style dress that resembles a tunic. It is cut from several squares of fabric and has eight wearability options. This is a unique product! In general, I continue the traditions of the famous Madeleine Vione. This is a fashion designer of the 20s of the XX century. She articulated the aesthetics of a complex oblique cut.

What fabrics and colors are predominantly used in your collections?

I love silk very much, but I am interested in complex fabrics. In all cases, texture and quality are of fundamental importance to me. Priority tones for me are calm, restrained, they always inspire me. The colors of architecture are close to me: antique, marble, also shades of sand on the coast, water, ranging from azure to dark blue, like a pool.

That is, you are inspired by the natural elements?

Yes, and in my collections it is always visible: the wind is blowing, you can hear the breath of the ocean, the beating of the heart, the voices of angels ... I like this aesthetics - the feeling of the world in which we live.

Tell us about the size line presented in your Fashion House?

We sew clothes from size 40 to size 56, so no one can accuse me of only dressing thin women.

What is your brand's pricing policy?

This is a Premium Plus, that is, a dress can cost from 10,000 rubles to 15,000 rubles. Floor-length evening and cocktail dresses - from 40,000 rubles to 50,000 rubles.

Tell us about your latest collection, who is it for?

The latest collection is called "Bird in a Cage". It is about personality and limits, but not those that people often imply, but about the limits of permissiveness. This collection is about our soul, about a cage with our complexes, passions. Of course, it contains the theme of antiquity, the deification of the body. I would like to note that the philosophers of that time argued that the body is a “cage” for the soul, which wants to escape, it always strives to fly. In general, this is a collection that is very deep in an emotional sense, let it be a personal discovery for everyone.

Now is a hot wedding time ... I know that you have a special vision of this direction. What does a bride look like in a dress by Janis Chamalidi?

The bride from Janis Chamalidi is absolutely light, she is weightless, airy. For my wedding dresses I use silk, chiffon. These fabrics are superbly draped. I am Greek, so I strive to "flash" my outfits with antiquity. For me, a dress, including a wedding dress, is a sheath that reveals and emphasizes female beauty.

Tell us what is included in the line of accessories from Janis Chamaladi?

Our boutique presents jewelry made of complex metals, alloys, in silver with diamonds, unusual belts.

Why, in your opinion, our consumers do not know so much about Russian designers, do they think that buying such clothes is expensive?

I do not understand why people, having the opportunity to purchase designer clothes, dress in mass markets. Even if such a thing is initially expensive, all designers make special promotions. For example, you can buy dresses from us for 3000 - 5000 rubles. Designer clothing is a different level of self-awareness, high quality, individual approach. Putting on such a thing, you will not think that you have problems with the figure, because everything fits perfectly. And it is also important to understand that by purchasing designer clothes, a person buys his intellect, development, emotion. It's an investment in your own style.

Who do you admire among the designers in Russia and abroad?

Madeleine Vionet, Yves Saint Laurent, of whom I have already spoken, from the Russians - Nadezhda Lamanova. In general, in designers, I like a certain line, handwriting, sense of style, the scale of their personality.

Do men and women in Russia have a sense of style?

I think what should be said here about the tragedy of 1917, when the aristocrats, bearers of the style, left Russia. It was they who contributed to the development of European fashion. Remember such fashion houses as "Kitmir", "Irfe", Diaghilev seasons ... This is a colossal influence on the development of art. It is our people who have enriched the European world. Everyone learned what Russian beauty is, a culture that combines Europe and Asia. Of course, such a historical past affects the present, both in terms of style and in a global sense.

What comes first for you - fashion or style?

For me, of course, style is primary, I have nothing to do with fashion. The crowd makes fashion. Fashion designers create a sense of style.

Your wishes for the readers of the interview.

Do not buy things just like that, think about how to start a dialogue with society through clothes. This is a unique game. Find your own, unique and unique image.

BLITZ SURVEY:

Your ideal is ...

Good taste in everything.

What character traits in people are important to you?

The most important qualities in a person are honesty and sincerity. I believe that if a person has such qualities, then he is an absolute person.

Your purpose in life is ...

To teach people good taste, to show beauty that will inspire good deeds, to encourage a person to create.

Thank you for the pleasant communication!

Thanks!

Interviewed by Alexandra Ageeva, image stylist of the studio " Supreme authority ".

Janis Chamalidi is a true Petersburg designer who has been sewing exquisite wedding, evening, cocktail and business dresses for 17 years. His hand-sewn items are kept in the State Hermitage Museum and at private collectors. Falovers met with Janis Chamalidi in his temple of art on the Petrograd side and, to the sound of pacifying music, talked about the vocation from above to be a couturier, about Russian fashion workers, about work at Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, about Paris in the 90s. The designer shared his unexpected look at our secular and fashionable society.

I know that you have chosen the profession of fashion designer almost by accident, is that really so?

This is my calling and it was destined to happen. I sat at a lecture, drew a sketch of a wedding dress for my girlfriend and wondered what I would do next? Enter the Shipbuilding Institute, what ships will I build? I looked at the sketch and traced it nervously. It wasn't even a sketch, but just a sketch. And in my head the questions sounded: "What can I do, what can I, what do I like?" In front of me lay a sketch, and I realized that it was this business that I wanted to devote myself to.
How old were you then?

I was in the tenth grade at the College of the Shipbuilding Institute.
How did you feel about fashion in childhood and adolescence, how did you participate in it?

As a child, I had a favorite doll with which I sewed dresses. I came up with simple geometric styles, dresses with ties. And all the dolls of my sisters were dressed by me. Since my grandmother and great-grandmother sewed, my childhood was spent in rags and fittings. In our country, this profession is passed down from generation to generation.
What profession do you see yourself in if you had not become a designer?

I feel so great as a designer. It's hard for me to imagine another profession. But when I read Bram Stoker's book, The Tribulation of Satan, I liked the portrayal of a writer who lives in a quiet garden. Maybe I could be a gardener, a person connected with nature.
I'm not going to change my profession as a designer. When I came to enter the Mukhinsky school, they asked me if I was afraid of fabric? I was absolutely not afraid to work with fabric, maybe this is where my draperies come from, the desire to design, start from the material, and not from the sketch.

Please tell us about the stage in your life when you worked at Yves Saint Laurent in France.

I was hired to work at an early age in this company in the Beauty direction. I worked as a stylist and promoted the brand in the Northwest region. Beauty, perfume, decorative cosmetics, YSL looks ... I visited Paris twice a year, receiving the collection, studying. Of course, I've seen the whole world of luxury: the world of YSL, Chanel, Dior and many others. It was the 90s, and I saw the development of modern fashion: the Japanese and the Belgians came before my eyes. I worked for the brand for eight years, brought new products to us, taught on them.
What was it like to be in Europe in the 90s, perhaps Paris made a strong impression on you?

At first, Paris did not impress me as the capital of fashion, it even disappointed me ... Until, thanks to my friends, the directors of YSL, I found myself in the world of the Parisian beau monde. In the evening, the creative intelligentsia gathers in restaurants or at each other's homes - this is a special, closed Paris. And when I saw such a city, I said: "Paris, I adore you!"
Did you happen to meet interesting and famous people there?

Yes, and with so many. But the brightest person who impressed me is the director of my department, Michel Shazar, he showed me Paris the way I saw it and remembered it. He also attended Haute Couture Weeks, talked with Jean-Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, with the President of the Paris Fashion Chamber Didier Grünbach, Isabella Blow. It was she who gave me the green light - she introduced me to Russian Vogue, Sunday times, wrote about me and opened the fashion world. You can endlessly enumerate these people, and they are all outstanding, creating the world of fashion.
Have you shown your collections in France?

Yes, in Parisian showrooms, and even sold his collections in the golden triangle on George V Avenue at J's boutique, which featured the best designers from all over the world.


In your opinion, does our state help designers?

What is a state? I believe now is the time when the designer can maximize his realization. The market is just ready, women want to dress, they accept Russian designers, there are fabrics, and there is everything, but this was not the case before. Therefore, Russia, as a country, and its general mood contribute to the development of talents. Isn't that enough?
Maybe, after all, besides the desire of the designer to realize himself, you also need support from the state?

Let's remember the Diaghilev seasons, who helped them? Nobody, they made the revolution themselves. That someone owes someone is an illusion. I believe that if there is an opportunity to develop, then create and be.
Then why are only a few designers becoming famous in Russia?

Maybe this is due to laziness? A few units work. I can single out the hard worker Zhenya Malygina - a brand, Tatiana Kotegova... I know what wonderful things they do. And these are people who really work hard.
What further development of fashion awaits us, in your opinion?

In Russia there will be individuals who want to develop internally, and a profession for them will be a way to achieve their goals.
When people ask me what is my success? It is very simple - I didn’t make money from it, I just created beauty. The result is dresses, hand-sewn by me, from which I have formed an archive. For the 15th anniversary of the House, we showed a huge number of haute couture outfits. Six items from this collection were selected for storage in the State Hermitage Museum. We want people of the 22nd century to see that in the 21st century something was created by hand. Also, three of my collections are in private collectors. And I am proud that this path was initially chosen by me - the path of resistance.

Your creativity is associated with lightness and femininity, but this spring at AURORA FASHION WEEK RussiaYou showed different collection (view collection: falovers.ru/post/afwr-fw13-ianis-chamalidy)- ascetic in dark colors, what is this connected with?

This is due to the theme of the collection that I am asking - Gothic turning into Renaissance. It was the time of Leonardo Da Vinci, Giordano Bruno, the time of artists who erased snobbery in society, in this they were helped by the black plague. And people who survived from this disease realized that art is an important matter.


Why did you decide to show this particular time period?

In my opinion, we live in the era of the mental Middle Ages, people do not want to think with their brains, to open their minds. Of course, I'm not talking about everyone, but this is the general attitude. I try to listen and feel the time, this is how my collections are born. Art reflects the economic, political, spiritual state of society. For example, the artist Malevich with "Black Square" is an art, in which he reflected and painted what was happening then - a "black hole".
I adore the Renaissance era, when the world is flat, and suddenly it is round, there are no printing presses, and then books, long journeys and discoveries instantly appear. The emergence of megalopolises with a mixture of cultures, someone says that this is bad, but nature does nothing just like that, and from this wonderful children appear.

Who, in your opinion, can be called a model of style now?

We have a lot of interesting and stylish people. At all times, these were actors, ballerinas, our creative intelligentsia. I recently looked at a magazine and saw a beautiful, educated couple there, I would even single out them - Konstantin and Alina Kryukov.

Do famous people dress up at your place?

I dress women from all over the world with creativity, who like the simplicity of lines and the complexity of the cut from Chamalidi, the ability to independently transform their image.
Patricia Cass was in our dress at the Medvedev-Sarkazi reception. Nastassja Kinski, Anastasia Vertinskaya, Anastasia Volochkova, Ulyana Lopatkina, Maria Safaryans are the face of Stradivari in Russia. We also dress ballerinas, which I am proud of, these are Yulia Makhalina, Nina Zmeevets, Maria Abashova, musician Andrei Samsonov, politicians and others.
