Articles/Interview
with Alsou's stylist Natalie Pilat (October 2003)
Stylist Natalie Pilat, who worked with Alsou above "Trilogy", gave interview to "Moscow Komsomol member":
When they proposed me to work above
Alsou scenic image, I internally prepared for the worse. To some people told,
that she is very locked and heavy person, that it will be difficult to find
contact. On the first meeting I arrived with the already finished sketches
and asked those being present to leave us two together. We spoke for one-and-a-half
hours: as a whole Alsou was absolutely pleased, she only expressed some wishes.
But I came to the conclusion that the rumors about her's isolation are strongly
exaggerated.
On the concert in the Olimpiyskim
Alsou changed clothes 8 times, and on the whole it was tailored about 130
stage suits for the dancers and musicians. The footwear and jeweller ornaments
did to order. That is typical of the Russian breadthes, work has gone in emergency
operation on all about all designers had 30 days.
I did want to go away from the line of business of romantic hero fastened
for Alsou does recall Natalie Pilat.
For concerts we have thought up
a new image the girl from a star. This completely corresponded to the
general concept: on the scene they did establish enormous spacecraft and dancers,
who left in the first block, were dressed in the space suits. At that moment
Alsou was sufficiently constrained and she was scared to demonstrate her's
sexuality. But I always considered that if singer has brasts and legs she
should submit them beautifully. In result we have compromised: the female
hero still were present lyrical, but she became more sexual. For the first
time she put on which up to that never carried, high boots and corsets.
Shy singer was decided to the one additional radical step, which slightly
wet the reputation of the romantic heroine: Dreds replaced classical smooth
hair has got used to new image quickly enough already after concerts in "Olympic"
she has some times appeared on a stage with african plait.
After concerts I worked with Alsou on the shooting to the two clips: "Vchera" and "Perviy Raz". Natalie continues: I know her already a year and have noticed that she became less complexed and more artistic. Besides she anymore isn't afraid to wear open things. In one word she matures..
