Russian figure skater Alena Kostornaya in his Telegram channel commented on the conflict with costume designer Alena Kuklycheva, noting that the contract for sewing competition costumes for the 2023/24 season was concluded with the Moscow Figure Skating Federation.
On Wednesday, Kuklycheva wrote on social networks that she was terminating cooperation with Kostornaya and demanded that the skater return all the costumes she had not paid for. Later, the designer told that Kostornaya owed her 240,000 rubles for sewing costumes, but the figure skater told her that she owed nothing.
“As an adult, I expected problems to be resolved in an adult way. » However, this does not always happen. Concerning my supposed “debt”. The contract for sewing our competition costumes for the 2023/24 season was concluded with the Moscow Figure Skating Federation. This problem is resolved with them, not with me. Therefore, I find it very incomprehensible and offensive why I suddenly turned out to be the last. I remind you that the federation will begin work on January 9.
Regarding advertising. Alena Vladimirovna, throughout the collaboration, I regularly tagged you and your fellow designers on social media. True, it turned out that the format did not suit you, but this has only become known now. It’s a shame that our cooperation ended on such a minor note,” Kostornaya wrote on her Telegram channel.
Early last year, Kostornaya turned to pair skating and performs with Georgy Kunitsa.
Kostornaya is the 2020 European women’s single skating champion.
