The 31 year old redhead launched her line of "casual clothes" at a show in the Turkish resort of Antalya. Moscow's most glamorous secret agent hired talented young designers from Russian fashion colleges, said a spokesman for her main employer. She wanted to produce clothes "you could wear anywhere, from a big city to a backwater village", it was reported. "Reporters and fashion magazines' buyers from all over the world will have a chance to see the first women's clothing collection by Anna Chapman," said the spokesman. Her fashion range includes women's handbags resembling books by famous radically-minded Russian writers, it is understood. One is a mock-up of the book 'Who is to Blame?' by Alexander Herzen, a 19th century writer and thinker known as the father of Russian socialism. The brand will be called Anna Chapman - the surname she took when she wed British former public schoolboy Alex Chapman who she met on a trip to London. The daughter of an alleged KGB officer, the flame haired agent was busted by New York police in 2010 on accusations of being part of a network of sleeper agents. She was deported in a Cold War-style spy swap along with nine others, and was then greeted by Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin who took part in a patriotic sing-song with her. Since her return to Russia, Chapman has dabbled in politics, taken part in risque photoshoots for men's magazines, and hosts a TV show about the mysteries of the world. Her interest in a clothes brand "all began three years and three months ago when Anna returned to Motherland after jail in a prison shirt," said a statement. "She disliked these alien clothes and Anna went on to search for a Russian dress that would please her soul. She kept looking for it but did not find." She was previously reported to be interested in designing new uniforms for Russian cosmonauts, though the project failed to materialise. |
俄羅斯一名31歲的紅發前女間諜在土耳其度假勝地安塔利亞開辦了自己的首場個人休閑時裝秀。 據該女間諜雇主的發言人說,這位莫斯科最美艷的特工聘請了來自俄羅斯時裝設計學院的年輕設計師。 據報道,她想制作出“在任何場合,不論是大城市還是偏遠村莊都可以穿的服裝”。 發言人稱,“全世界的記者和時尚雜志訂購者都有機會看到安娜?查普曼設計的首個女裝系列。”
這一時裝品牌將被命名為安娜?查普曼,這是她嫁給畢業于英國公立學校的英國人亞歷克斯?查普曼后用的名字。她是在去倫敦的旅途中遇到亞歷克斯的。 這位紅發特工是一名前蘇聯國家安全委員會官員的女兒,她2010年曾經被紐約警方指控做過潛伏特工。
據報道她之前還有意為俄羅斯宇航員設計新制服,不過這一計劃沒能實現。 (來源:Telegraph 翻譯:丹妮) |
