"These are from my grandmother's Christmas tree." Online discussions are underway about "Soviet" Christmas tree decorations by Dior designer Jonathan Anderson.
Jonathan Anderson, creative director of the Dior fashion house, has released a collection of vintage Christmas tree decorations under his brand, JW Anderson. The designer posted photos of the decorations on the brand's social media account, and users were reminded of Soviet toys.
Jonathan Anderson, who was named "Designer of the Year" at the Fashion Awards the day before, explained that each toy is unique, "passed down through generations," and sourced from across Europe. He and his team hand-selected each piece, which is now available for purchase on the brand's website. Prices range from 7,000-8,000 rubles each to 30,000-40,000 rubles for a set of three.
Russian-speaking users commented on the post featuring the ornaments, saying Anderson's creations reminded them of toys from their childhoods. "These are from my grandmother's Christmas tree," "Our favorites, from childhood!" "Robbed my grandmother's pantry!" "Soviet quality!" "Finally, you've caught on to our trends," "Soviet Russian glass ornaments! They are so unique and precious to Russians that they are a part of our history," "Welcome to the USSR. Half from my Christmas tree," they wrote online.
Earlier, the "death" of glossy magazines was discussed online.
