    As I'm sewing my 1950's Violet Wiggle Dress it reminded me of the set of photographs I once saw on the LIFE archives. A few of you know I've been to Russia a few times, once when I was 15 with my very adventurous father (Russia was his type of vacation) and then after high school with the intent to study Russian History. To make a long story short I ended up being very homesick and my stay was brief. Still, it's one of my favorite places in the world and I've had the privilege to see. Since then I love learning about Russian history, the good and the bad, and seeing it through art and photography are one of my favorite things to do.

    In 1959 the Soviet Union decided to get with the times and host some fashion shows. Does Yves Saint Laurent's Russian Collection ring a bell? Dior decided to bring their "New Look" straight to the people at GUM, which is like Russia's version of Galleria, located directly in Red Square. Back then it had more sensible shops for the working comrades, today it hosts over 200 luxury brands like Dior.

    Dior had it their mind just to walk with the people at GUM, who by their expressions seemed horrified and curious all at the same time.

    I'm kind of loving the floral dresses that nearly all of the women are wearing. Kind of wish I stuck around Moscow for a few days more just to do some vintage shopping. Wait while I add it to my bucket list.

    Despite loving Dior... Well because it's Dior...

    The Only Way Is Essex girls lead the glamour at the BAFTA Television Awards... but it's Amy Childs who steals the show

    It was of the most highly-anticipated events of the year, with the biggest names from the television industry attending.
    But at the Philips BAFTA Television Awards this evening it wasn't a TV veteran who stole the show but a group of relative newcomers - the girls from The Only Way Is Essex.
    Amy Childs, Lauren Goodger, Sam Faiers and Lydia Bright led the glamour as they arrived for the annual ceremony at the Grovesnor House Hotel.
    ©Stealing the show: But it was Amy Childs who stood out from the crowd in her Pia Michi gold gown
    And it seems maybe the girls had coordinated their outfits, as they all went for sparkly metallic numbers as they posed on the red carpet.
    But it was redhead Amy Childs who managed to hog the limelight, perhaps for the wrong reasons, as she pulled out all the stops in her Pia Michi strapless gold dress.
    The elaborate gown featured a beaded bodice and ruched gold skirt, complete with a tulle underskirt, giving Amy a strong resemblance to Belle from Disney's Beauty And The Beast.
    However, the rest of the TOWIE girls also went all out with their red carpet outfits.
    ©Metallic: Sam looked stunning in her Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress while Lydia Bright wore a grey flowered Dynasty gown and Lauren went for sparkly everything in Scala
    While Sam shone in a shimmery white and black Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress, Lydia wore a pretty metallic grey flowered Dynasty dress.
    And Lauren looked like the cat that got the cream as she posed with fiancé Mark Wright while wearing a strappy silver Scala dress and matching sparkly shoes.
    ©In the black: Cat Deeley wowed in a black lace Christian Dior gown, with her hair swept back into a chic up 'do

    Whoops! Louise Redknapp, who wore Stella McCartney, and Lenora Crichlow both arrived in very similar black plunging jumpsuits
    ©Sisterly love: Kara Tointon arrived at the ceremony with her younger sister Hannah

Following more small television appearances such as the "Fair Exchange" (1989) and a 1989 role as a French girl (she was 14 at the time) on a Married... with Children episode and film roles, she gained notoriety with the romance film Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991). She appeared in 1993's Dazed and Confused alongside Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey. Jovovich then acted alongside Bruce Willis in the science fiction film The Fifth Element (1997), and later played the title role in The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999).

    Milla was born in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union, the daughter of Bogdan Bogdanović Jovović (Богдан Богдановић Јововић), a Serbian pediatrician, and Galina Mikhaylovna Loginova (Галина Михайловна Логинова), a Russian stage actress.
    Milla's paternal family's estate was in Zlopek near Peć in the northwestern part of Metohija Valley, Serbia. Her paternal great-grandfather, Bogić Camić Jovović, was a flag-bearer of the Vasojevići clan and an officer in the guard of King Nicholas I of Montenegro; his wife's name was Milica, after whom Milla was named. Her paternal grandfather, Bogdan Jovović, was a commander in the Pristina military area, and later investigated finances in the military areas of Skopje and Sarajevo, where he uncovered massive gold embezzlement. He was punished for refusing to convict a friend of the crime. Later, the government briefly imprisoned him in Goli otok for refusing to testify. When he feared that he could be arrested again, he escaped to Albania and later moved to Kiev. A different version of the story claims that he was the one who took the gold. Milla's father, Bogich, later joined Bogdan in Kiev, where he and his sister graduated in medicineIn 2000, her grandfather, Bogdan Jovović, died in KievHer mother was born in Tuapse (now in Russia) but moved in her childhood to Dnipropetrovsk (now in Ukraine
