Previously, Kuklycheva said that Kostornaya owed her 240,000 rubles for costumes created for her performances.
— How did Kostornaya react to your message about debt?
—We discussed it yesterday. She claims she had nothing to do with these costumes. I am currently in the process of removing all of his costumes and props.
— Can we consider that the question of the debt to Kostornaya is resolved?
– The issue is not closed yet. We do not have money ! Designers don’t have advertising! She must fulfill her obligations. She wore all these outfits. People were working. All designers deserve gratitude and recognition. This basically means she performed in these costumes for free! Who is she to behave like this?
— What will be your next steps? Are you considering going to court?
— I don’t have the strength yet, but the question remains open. We should meet other designers and discuss the whole situation. Maybe we could go to court together. We are not slaves.
Costumes are often criticized for their poor quality, but I warned her not to use feathers on the ice! But she doesn’t listen. They break. It is impossible to fix them so that they do not break. They can break anywhere thanks to the supports. It’s not the designer’s fault!
— Does this often happen to figure skating creators?
– It happens all the time. Not everyone is as brave as me. Many people prefer to remain silent. They are afraid of scandals and damage to their reputation. I have an impeccable reputation and I have nothing to fear. Today, many designers have contacted me to say that they are also facing a similar situation. Everyone has experienced a similar story at least once.
Above all, no one wants to sew costumes for the best skaters. Only if officially, when the federation pays. Without it, they often use and discard. They are “stars,” Kuklycheva said in a conversation with a Sport24 correspondent.
