Lars Wallin, a famous Swedish designer, who is known for his fabulous dresses for the Swedish princes Victoria, came to Moscow to see the result of his work for the Azerbaijani duet Aysel & Arash.

“This is not my first experience in Eurovision. I have worked for many Swedish contestants before including Charlotte Pirrelli, Carola HÀggkvist and others. I’m glad to work with Arash and Aysel on this contest. It’s no wonder that many people here call AySel a goddess. She’s really a lady of unique beauty and charisma. 

 Speaking of costumes, I wanted to do something oriental but not the first thing that comes to mind. It also looks a bit futuristic, bringing the oriental touch into the future.

I wanted Aysel to look very feminine and sensual in this dress but at the same time she looks as a super woman.

It’s that kind of contest when something should happen every second. We have the white color explosion around the artists. And at the end of the song the new colors are revealed and there’s a true fire of colors around Aysel.

There’s a moment at the end of the song when the powerful air and steam fan blows and we see Aysel’s dress waving with new colors like the flames of fire. There’s a secret pocket and a special button that release light silk fabric. 

What concerns Arash, he is a super hero for sure. He will be wearing a black jacket with golden buttons, white trousers and white linen shirt. There is a military touch in all his outlook and it looks quite modern at the same time.

I will be holding two flags during the final – the Azerbaijani and the Swedish ones – cause I hope that both these countries will do well in the final.”

By the way Mr.Wallin’s visit to Moscow was in jeopardy because of problems with Russian authorities, who initially refused to give him a visa. It took Mr. Wallin two weeks to settle his visa issue and he came to Moscow right on the day of the second semifinal.
