I wonder the same thing too. When I visited Moscow 5 or 6 years ago, I was awed by the Russians' beauty and the pride they took in their appearance and outfits. Especially the women - always heels, makeup, cared for hair, carefully coordinated and feminine clothes. That is why I visit this thread with such pleasure, to see how Russian streetstyle is evolving. But I am afraid that photographers always seek to take pictures of the people who are stylish in a more "international" way, never in the Russian way that I saw...I dunno, it's hard to explain.
