A show about transformation
At the Alley of Fashion, MosFocus spoke with Ivan Smirnov, a star makeup artist and performer. He presented his project “Manifest of Venus”, a show about transformation, self-discovery and a new understanding of life.
The project focuses on a woman’s inner transformation. For Ivan, the idea goes beyond beauty and appearance. It is about the moment when a woman realizes that she needs to return to herself.
“Stop living for others. Be yourself.”
Why do we wait for a crisis?
Ivan believes that many people only decide to change their lives after a painful experience or a major turning point. However, his show offers another possibility.
Instead of waiting for tragedy, a person can simply recognize the moment when change is needed. Therefore, “Manifest of Venus” becomes an invitation to wake up and reconsider personal priorities.
What comes next?
Ivan also shared details about his upcoming projects. His next show is planned for September 25. Another appearance is connected with the FB magazine “People of the Year” award, scheduled for October 19.
Ultimately, the message of “Manifest of Venus” is simple. You do not always need a crisis to begin a new chapter. Sometimes, you simply need to choose yourself.
