Chintz designs, fashion and uniforms for the Red Army
From 1921 she designs chintz patterns for industrial production and works with the Workshop of Contemporary Costume and then with the Moskvoshvei fashion house, and in 1922–1923 on dress uniforms for the Red Army. Her mass-production designs were wearable, but most of her fashion work was highly decorative and innovative, usually falling under haute couture.
