“No one will sew a dress just for a story, he is a cunning fox” – designer Kuklycheva about the conflict with Kostornaya

Designer Alena Kuklycheva told that the conflict with the Russian figure skater Alena Kostornaya lies to a greater extent in the violation of oral agreements, particularly regarding advertising obligations.

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. Her coach Sergei Roslyakov noted that payment documents for competition costumes were prepared only in December, and payment would be made after the New Year holidays. In addition, designers working with Kuklycheva, and Kuklycheva herself , reported non-compliance with advertising obligations on social networks for costumes prepared for the show.

— How do you perceive the information on the promise of payment in January?

– I don’t know how it will happen until it’s actually paid off. The costumes were handed out a long time ago and we played in them more than once. The documents were drawn up in December. We were expecting payment by the end of the year. The conflict largely concerns the failure to respect the verbal agreement with Alena. Five designers worked to create his costumes. We’re not talking about just one costume! Alena knew that the creators worked for advertising, she was completely satisfied with this. No one sews a dress just for a story.

Alena thought it was enough for work, a few marks on social networks. The designers were simply used. I asked, they helped me. The last dress was made by a fairy (“Cinderella”). A large number of costumes have been sewn, not just two or three, but in terms of money, it is a huge amount, even in terms of materials, not counting our work. I returned some costumes that were no longer needed. Some have not yet been returned. He says he needs the dress by January 10th. I asked to return everything, since the costumes were made a long time ago, there is no advertising!

In personal correspondence, she wrote that she owed nothing more. I had to appeal to the public. I can’t go to court, there was a verbal agreement with Alena. And the weather, the nerves – all this is devastating. And now everything is very unpleasant for me. But such impudence cannot remain like this. She is a cunning fox, she knows where to act like an idiot, where to cry,” Kuklycheva told .
