Alexander Rogov

Telegram channels are discussing designer, stylist and TV presenter Alexander Rogov’s remarks on nepotism in Russian glossy magazines. In a new episode of the Sagittarius YouTube show, Rogov said that without connections it is difficult for Russian designers and stylists to gain the support of the industry. Earlier, he repeatedly said that the leading Russian publications “did not notice” him.

In an interview, Rogov noted that only this year he was included in the list of the “100 most stylish” editions of GQ for the first time (the award was supposed to be awarded in early March, but it did not happen due to Russian). Military special operations in Ukraine) – “at some point the style changed,” they included, and decisions about who to include on this list began to be made differently.

These statements of Rogov immediately began to be discussed in the Russian telegram, where many brilliant employees “moved” after the closure of some magazines. So, the former editor-in-chief of Vogue Ksenia Solovieva commented on Alexander’s words, in which she said that the broadcast on the telegram channel did not notice her. About why Russian Vogue “didn’t notice” Rogov, Solovieva wrote:

There was something to object to stylist and jewelry designer Mikhail Baryshnikov:

Natalya Maksimova also spoke on the subject on the telegram channel:

Maksimova also shared a personal story and told how she rejected a Vogue girl who fell in love with her, and in retaliation she took down a photo shoot with Maximova. Maximova has many similar stories in glossy magazines that confirm Rogov’s thesis about nepotism, and she promised to share them soon.

Madonna Moore, the author of the popular fashion channel, reacted to Solovieva’s words: she said that in Russian glossy magazines only those who worked there did not notice the “lostness”. As an example, the journalist cited a young Russian jewelry designer Lily Grigalashvili, whom the publication wrote several times and is the sister of Vogue fashion editor Alina Grigalashvili.

Alina Grigalashvili defended her sister and said that the jewelry is really in demand, and among the fans of the brand are fashion blogger Natasha Goldenberg, models Simona Kust and Ashley Graham and others.

The result of the discussion was summarized by the telegram channel “Antiglanets”:

Alexander Rogov is a Russian stylist, TV presenter and designer, founder of the ROGOV clothing brand. Rogov is especially known for the program “Restart” on TNT and “Catch up in 24 hours” on STS.
