Hello, subscribers and those passing by. Today I'm reviewing the show" Fashionable verdict", which has been broadcast on Channel One for several years now. I’ve been wanting to write something for a long time, but I never got around to it and there was no reason, but here there are two of them at once. The first one is the first day of spring, March 1st! Hurray, we’ve been exhausted. Congratulations to everyone on this. Second the reason is the new presenter Andrei Bartenev, who replaced fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev in this post. Even if the replacement is short-lived - only for 2 weeks, while the fashion guru is preparing an exhibition in Moscow, but still this event is out of the ordinary and signals that it is not. all is well in the fashion kingdom.
The structure of the program “Fashionable Sentence” became ossified many years ago and cosmetic changes are periodically made to it. Sometimes there are more serious interventions. Unfortunately, the 2017 version of the “Fashion Sentence” has little to do with fashion. Discussion of fashion trends and tendencies, shows with elderly models, excursions into fashion and even shopping in a clothing store - everything is a thing of the past. Now “Fashionable Verdict” is a tongue-lashing for an hour, like in any other talk show on the First, and at the very end of the episode there are two transformations - a demonstration of the heroine’s old wardrobe and a show of the stylists’ work, and before that there are 40-50 minutes of cries from the husband or other relatives and the heroine's colleagues, lamentations about fate, tears and turning dirty panties inside out.
The “fashionable verdict” rests on three pillars: Evelina Khromchenko, who knows how to analyze problems with style in detail and give clear recommendations, Nadezhda Babkina, who knows how to choose the right words in everyday terms, and the presenter-toastmaster Alexander Vasiliev. All three have been sitting in their chairs for a long time and it’s time for everyone to move on. Evelina Khromchenko’s participation in “Fashionable Verdict” is a huge step back and stagnation in her career. Publicity is good and beneficial, but why throw pearls before swine? The morning audience of Channel One and the world of fashion are two non-intersecting planes. All her advice and comments are, of course, valuable, but for some reason, after her transfer, models that meet the requirements of fashion and good taste do not appear in clothing markets. Cheap clothes will always look cheap and shabby, since clothes are an indicator of the status of the wearer. No one will sell a fashionable style for 100 rubles. For 100 rubles they will specially make the ugliest design so that you can see a beggar woman walking over there from a kilometer away. Even Yudashkin in his collection for Faberlic charged the price for a skirt (judging by the advertisement) to one and a half thousand. Chinese Faberlic for one and a half grand! Go crazy.
Nadezhda Babkina - she definitely suits to sit on the jury. I don’t know what’s going on with her concerts and who generally listens to her songs and goes to her concerts. It's definitely not me. She doesn’t release hits, she doesn’t make videos. The rare performances that I catch on TV make me immediately switch to another channel. Here’s the thing: I like Babkina as a person, despite the fact that she is a confidant of you-know-who, but I would never listen to her songs. Before Babkina, Larisa Verbitskaya sat in the same place. This was quiet horror. How could a professional presenter be unable to connect two words without prompting and last in the defender’s chair for 6 years? Thank God it was removed in the end.
Alexander Vasiliev... It seems that at first he came to “Fashionable Verdict” for fun, and then he was drawn in. This is better than sitting anonymously in Paris among the dusty rubbish that he bought at flea markets, but you also need to know honor. In fact, he says the same words in each episode - only the jokes and banter towards the heroines of the program differ. It seems to me that if he could choose the heroes of the program, he would not have allowed all these freaks with sad destinies to air on Channel One.
Am I glad that Vasilyev was replaced, albeit for two weeks? Yes. The artist Andrey Bartenev is no less famous than Alexander Vasiliev and is no worse than Khabalit. He’ll sit there for a week and make it so hot—mama, don’t worry. They write on the Internet that they would like to see the evil pug Lisovets in the presenter’s chair. Well, I do not! Who is Lisovets? A name and nothing more. Celebrity became famous thanks to TV, and not because of his work. Vasiliev is a fashion historian and has written many books. Bartenev is an avant-garde artist with a name. Everything is correct, IMHO. I would generally introduce rotation of the central seat into the rule.
The heroes of the show are a separate conversation. 99% of the episodes are with women and very rare programs where they dress up as men. My aunt’s work colleague took part in the “Fashionable Verdict” a long time ago. She said that all the problems that the heroines broadcast from the podium are complete fiction, fantasy. They need to somehow justify their appearance on the show. Nobody gives the wardrobe that stylists select for heroines to anyone - everything has to be returned. I also read revelations on the Internet from owners of clothing stores and boutiques that they sincerely hate the stylists of Channel One, since they always return the clothes they bought. It's a shame, of course, that famous show cannot afford to give Demshan things to heroes who have been used far and wide. And yes, it’s very infuriating that the presenters always say “I’m putting on/dressing” correctly, but the characters are extremely incorrect - they’re always “dressing” and no one corrects them.
I’m not a fashion expert and generally wear the same clothes for years, but I still have a sense of beauty. And sometimes I’m just shocked by how stylists disfigure the heroines of the show. In fact, there is one visual-psychological trick here. The main transformation that stylists make is not in changing clothes, but in applying the right makeup and creating a normal hairstyle on the head. The “before” version of the heroines is a quiet horror, mainly because of the bullshit that’s going on in their heads. Unwashed, unkempt - everything looked as if it had just come out of the forest. Another option is freaks, but they are less common. Basically, these are unwashed, unkempt, shapeless village women. Body shapes cannot be changed in 1-2 hours of stylists’ work, just as a sense of style cannot be instilled, so they change their hairstyle, and, as it seems to me, any clothes will go well with a good hairstyle. Yes, I have general principles- so that the clothes do not fit too tightly around saggy boobs and a fat butt, so that the top of the clothes covers the nurse, you cannot wear a black bra under a white blouse, etc., but 90% of success is still on the head and, as a result, in the head. It seems to me that the program would have benefited significantly if they had shown how stylists work with patients, otherwise now it’s just some kind of WHAM! and the beauty came out. What did you do, how did you do it, what principles did you use to select outfits and style? It is obvious that they dress everyone with the same brush - a wealthy woman with a slight extra. After the end of the program, for some reason they don’t give a million dollars to the account so that the proposed style can be maintained. And even if all the things were actually donated, I can’t imagine how these ladies would flaunt in chic outfits along the dirty roads in their villages and towns with knee-deep mud, where everyone wears quilted jackets and rubber boots.
It really upsets me that people are ready to make public (albeit not seriously, as it turns out) accusations against each other, promises to divorce, etc. If they told me this even as a joke, I would be left with a trace of sincere resentment for a long time, if not forever. When a loved one is ready to utter terrible and shameful words to the whole country, it means there has been no smell of love there for a long time. Calculation, self-interest, ambition - whatever. After the “Fashionable Sentence” you can safely file for divorce, IMHO. Before participating in “Fashionable Verdict,” the program’s heroes need to make an important decision - what is more important to them: relationships or five minutes of fame. Many choose fame and put on a show on Channel One, where all that is missing is a fight. Television corrupts people, makes them go against themselves, makes them deceive viewers. The heroes' karma suffers from this - I'm 100% sure. People, don't go to such deceitful programs. Then it will come back to haunt you! Alisovika from “Tomboys” also asked her husband to beat her on camera, and now they (in her own words) no longer live together. And don’t forget that the word is not a sparrow and “betrayal” of yourself and your relationship will forever remain recorded on video. This too should not be forgotten.
Separate category experts in the “Fashionable Verdict” are pop, theater, film and TV stars who came to mock the heroines’ poor clothes. Here you can immediately see who is experienced and wise, and who is narrow-minded. Wise stars unconditionally support the heroines and say that everything suits them, no matter what they wear - this way they earn +100 to their karma and their popularity. Narrow-minded starlets zealously criticize and mock the heroines, taking the side of the accusation. After all, “Fashionable Sentence” is a popular show, and after all, you have to bend your heart and hide your essence, otherwise streams of dirt will fall on social media, and then no one will come to the premiere of the play or to the concert. The role of a star expert was created not for criticism, but for PR, and not everyone understands this. Some stars, by the way, would do well to transform themselves before dispensing advice. For example, Tatyana Bulanova spoke in the first issue of “Fashionable Sentence”. I love her as an artist, but listen fashion tips and criticism of her performance... uh... A shoemaker without boots, as they say. People with an impeccable sense of style should be invited to become celebrity experts, and not those who can dress up normally every once in a while or less often.
What disappoints me most about “Fashionable Verdict” is not the complete rejection of fashion and not the ossification of the format, but... the advertising that is pushed in the program. Until recently, Alexander Vasiliev advertised suitcases with DeSheli, for example. Now we have switched to "Horsepower". There’s something I don’t understand - why are advertising ordered exclusively by companies with a dubious reputation, while celebrities sign up for it? Where are L'Oreal-Paris, Avoni and Prastichosspadi Arichleim?
Well, I’ll end on a positive note, although 5 years have already passed since that event. year 2012. Release of "Fashionable Sentence" with... lesbians ( link to legal online viewing). What a success it was! That issue of “Fashionable Verdict” showed that they are not there just for the money. It's no secret that mostly LGBT people work in the fashion and beauty industry. And it is very strange that in a program about fashion this topic was carefully hushed up and is still being hushed up. Everyone sees everything, everyone understands everything, but you can’t say or talk about it. Funny! By the way, the next day after the broadcast, that episode was removed from the Channel One website and it remained only on the official website of Fashionable Sentence.
Here’s another question I have for you, dear readers. Have you figured out the secret to filming a show where the heroine transforms in a matter of minutes? It is clear that the process takes for a long time, but the presenters don’t sit and wait for the stylists to work a miracle. As far as I know, “Fashionable Verdict” is filmed in blocks of several episodes a day. I suspect that episodes are filmed exactly until the heroine goes backstage for a makeover, and then the presenters run to change clothes and film the next episode exactly until that same moment. And so on, until transformations happen and the endings are filmed, again with the presenters changing clothes. Do you think so too or is the shooting technology still different?
I give the show “Fashionable Sentence” three stars and, unfortunately, I cannot recommend watching it, because the further it goes, it becomes simpler and worse in terms of filling and presentation. “Fashionable sentence” is not developing, but is steadily degrading and will soon become obsolete, since all that is left of fashion in it are horns and legs and the meaning of the program has been reduced to empty talk about life. And yes, I don't believe that problems can be solved with new hairstyle and clothes.
“Fashionable Verdict” airs Monday through Friday at 11 a.m. on Channel One. All issues and much more can be found on the official website of the Modny-TV project .
Thank you for your positive ratings and comments!

The new host of the “Fashionable Sentence” program, Andrei Bartenev, told why fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev needed a replacement. According to the designer, he really enjoyed taking part in the filming.
“The program that we recently filmed will be aired on March 1. It was with great pleasure that I met with my old friends Evelina Khromchenko and Nadezhda Babkina, and once again admired their professionalism, heroism, resilience and health. Because in order to present” A fashionable sentence, “you need to be a very healthy person - not only mentally, but also physically,” Bartenev explained to the correspondent website.
ON THIS TOPIC
Andrey emphasized that he used to often watch the program with the participation of Alexander Vasiliev. “Even then I had thoughts that something needed to be changed in it. I didn’t like the scenery, I would have changed the music, but it turned out that we were dealing with such a well-worn blockbuster that changing any detail would mean killing the audience’s interest ", shared the new presenter.
The fashion judge admitted that he carefully prepared for the shoot. “The producers told me that they would like to see me as a presenter when I was on a business trip. I packed a whole suitcase of classic English suits, thought that the audience was used to seeing me in bright clothes, and decided to surprise them. However, the producers said: “No, no, we need you exactly like this! Bring back your bright suits!
The artist added that viewers will see only eight episodes of the program with his participation - then Alexander Vasiliev will return to the presenter’s chair. “Now he is preparing for his exhibition of costumes of the 18th – 19th centuries, as soon as it is completed, he will again become the presenter,” Andrey noted.
“Fashionable Sentence” program it's already underway almost 10 years. According to the plot, relatives or friends of a woman contact “Fashionable Sentence” and accuse her of “not knowing how to dress well.” The task of the presenter and experts (and guest star) is to help a woman transform herself.
After giving the heroine some advice, the fashion court team sends her to stylists and hairdressers who turn a gray mouse or a vulgar madam into an elegant lady. The presenter in the program plays rather minor role: the heroine receives criticism and recommendations mainly from experts.
Initially, the program was hosted by an artist-fashion designer, then the baton passed to fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev, who has sat on the throne of fashion judge since 2009. Starting March 1, Vasiliev goes on a short vacation, so Andrey will host the next eight episodes.
The outrageous artist is known not only for his performances, but also for the extravagant costumes and hats that he designs and wears.
The concept of the program, the expert composition and the interior of the program have not changed, with the exception of the presenter’s throne. Instead of the royal black chair with a carved metal back, on which Vasiliev sat, a chair with a geometric print appeared in the studio - quite characteristic of the style of the new presenter.
The first episode began with an address to television viewers, who warned fans about temporary changes and promised that his “deputy” would give a lot of positive things. And he didn’t deceive. Bartenev appeared in the studio dressed in a suit that looked like an art installation.
Evelina Khromchenko immediately dubbed the image a costume of “militant curlers” and addressed television viewers with the words: “What Andrei is demonstrating here today is called “living sculpture.” Andrey is an artist, master of art performance. Please do not associate its design with the latest fashion trends." After the enchanting appearance, Bartenev went to change his clothes and appeared before the audience in a more conservative (at least in style) outfit.
He was wearing a suit with a pop art print, a crimson shirt and a white hat with a visor, decorated with yellow-gray stripes and three-dimensional figures of three cats.
The Fashion Court considered the “Case of Doll Dresses and Real Tears.” According to the plot, the 37-year-old heroine dressed in doll outfits, crowns and children's jewelry, which drove her husband to the point of wanting a divorce.
The dress in pink and gold frills, decorated with crimson feathers on the sleeves, in which the heroine appeared, did not surprise Bartenev. Obviously, seeing a kindred spirit in the heroine, the presenter tried his best to defend her to her husband, convincing her that she was “an incredible surreal verse that should decorate life.”
The difference between Vasiliev and Bartenev in the role of presenter is immediately evident. The fashion historian overwhelms with authority, and his references to fashion trends and compliments to the natural beauty and figure of each of the heroines looked very harmonious.
Bartenev fully lives up to his image. The presenter's love for shocking behavior can be seen both in his behavior in the studio and in his speech. For example, Andrei calls a clothes hanger on which outfits from the heroine’s personal wardrobe hang “a bracket with masterpieces.” Bartenev also looks funny in the role of a psychologist supporting the heroine - after all, his love for performances wins out in him, turning the emcee’s sympathetic speeches into part of a theatrical performance.
As a temporary host, the outrageous artist looks interesting: artistry, freedom of expression and strict adherence to his personal style refreshes the format of the program, which has existed for many years.
Only now it becomes difficult to perceive the program as a style guide: the stern gaze of fashion historian Vasiliev is missing.

Bartenev began his career back in the 90s. He staged performances at the MARS gallery and took part in the avant-garde fashion festival in Jurmala, where, by the way, he received the Grand Prix. The artist works in the genre of collage, decoupage, linear graphics, pastels, installations. Many of Bartenev’s performances are associated with the culture of the Far North - from “Flight of Seagulls in a Clear Sky” to “Botanical Ballet” and even more so “ Snow Queen", not to mention the funny "London in the Snow", shown at Art Moscow in 2003.
Now the artist is in great demand abroad. For example, in New York, Andrei did the performance “Staircase of Red” for: as part of it, real opera singers and sang arias, for example, of the second reincarnation of the dog. The production made extensive use of the sounds of empty Coca-Cola cans falling and the splashing of pasta served on huge dishes. “Screamers” were specially invited to throw pasta onto the stage from the second floor.
He intrigued fans with the message that the fashion historian did not reveal all the details then and invited subscribers to put forward their own versions of what they should expect. At the end of September: the chair of the main defender of the “Fashionable Sentence” in new issues will be occupied not only by. Due to her busy schedule, the artist was unable to attend the filming of some of the programs, so it was decided to replace her with celebrity guests. So, in popular show will appear , and .
Yesterday, viewers of the “Fashionable Sentence” program received another unexpected news. This week, for the first time, the show will host and.

As a result, Alena liked one of the sets proposed by the stylists so much that she wanted to take the items with her and even wear them sometimes.
The TV presenter also took part in a special series with the stars of the “Fashionable Sentence” program. However, according to the star, her transformation did not go as she expected. In her microblog on Instagram, Dana hinted that. Borisova published several photographs and videos in Stories, from which one can judge the deplorable state of her hair. According to the TV presenter, she was promised “an exquisite, expensive color, a magical transformation,” but as a result, her hair was simply ruined, making it dull and lifeless. “Is this the work of professionals? For the fourth day now I haven’t even heard an apology,” Borisova did not hide her indignation.
