VIKTOR and ORPHEUS PAXLAPIS-SAVIOR

Tara, as Princess Swan from the Russian Fairytale, invites you to visit the Fairytales Book exposition.

Magic Scarlet Flower is a GIFT!

The WORLD FAIRYTALES encompass tales, legends, and myths from across the globe, including America, Europe, and Asia. These stories will transport you to a magical world, reminiscent of your childhood when you had a pure, sensitive soul and believed in magic.

We have designed each tale as a "3-pics story" with the invaluable assistance of our talented friends who are excellent fashion stylists. Today’s outcome is a testament to the power of effective teamwork.

LANDMARK TO GALLERY

Recreating legends and fairy tales is a very creative and specific job that needs to be approached with respect. You can't put on modern clothes and pretend that you have made an ethnic image. Recreation includes reading, research, understanding the plot and the character; searching for the right things and details by which your hero will be recognized and the story will be preserved in the right historical and period; it is also a deep understanding of the character's character, psychological experience with him, going through situations. 

Tara, as Princess Swan from the Russian fairytale about Tsar Saltan and Prince Gvidon.

Gina, as Manora from the Thai legend about Manora.

Vivien as Caribay from the Venezuelan legend about the Five White Eagles.

Elodin, as Psyche from the Greek myth about Eros and Psyche.

---

Each character from any fairy tale is not just a costume; it is your personal psychological experience that makes you stronger. You live through death and rebirth, feel love and hate, fight fate, or receive the blessing of the gods. This is your personal spiritual experience that changes you from the inside and makes you better. 

I would like to encourage you to read fairy tales and study legends, and make your journey into the research. Each tale and myth contains deep wisdom that has reached us through the centuries, and each hero speaks with his own national accent, speaking through you!
