The well known Ukrainian architect, Ukrainian SSR's Honoured Artist, Aleksey Nikolayevich Beketov was born on 19 February (3 March) 1862, in Kharkov, in the family of Nikolay Nikolayevich Beketov - the founder of physics and chemistry, the member of Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Father's brother Andrey was a scientist, too: he had become known as Darwinist botanist, he was a Corresponding Member and an Honourable Member of Petersburg Academy. Aleksey Nikolayevich passed his childhood in communication with the Mechnikovs and the Alchevskiys families.
Location : Kharkov
Country : Ukraine
Address : Davina 25, "Quiet’ Downtown.
Aleksey Nikolayevich received an excellent education. At the same time he attended M. D. Ivanova-Rayevskaya's Artist School and after that in Petersburg Arts Academy. His education was topped with the dissertation thesis completion, which in 1894 brought him the title of Architecture Academician.

Beketov died on 23 November 1941. He left us about one hundred various buildings, and one of the most magnificent of them is the building of Kharkov research institute of microbiology and immunology named after I. I. Mechnikov.
The first Beketov building, which decorated Kharkov, was the Commercial School. After this work, which brought success to the novice, the young architect constructed a whole series of bank buildings. The projects were ordered by the leaders of the roughly developing Kharkov business and industry -- today's buildings of the Automotive Technical School, The Houses of Techniques, the Puppet-Show and others.
According to the status of Petersburg's Academy of Arts, an architect with 3 years construction experience could choose an item and work on a project to receive the rank of Academician of Architecture. Beketov decided to take on the project of a public library with 1.5 million volumes, with reading halls, an art gallery, storehouse and numismatic hall. Beketov completed this grand work in only 9 months. In 1894 the Scientist Soviet gave him the rank of Academnician. The building of the library can be called a gift to Kharkov of "a perfect creation.
The creative works of Beketov were noticeable not only in Kharkov; his buildings also decorate Belgorod, Dnipropetrovsk, Simpheropol and other cities - but the most monumental buildings he built are in Kharkov. During his life he completed 64 different architecture projects and all of the buildings were individual masterpieces. Here, in his native city, this outstanding architect ended his life.
Buildings Created By Beketov1889 - Medical office (Poltavsky Shlyakh, 12)
Darvina (Darwin) Street was established in the mid-19th century and was initially called Sadovo-Kulikovska, as named after its landlords, the Kulikovskys, who owned vast lands in this area. When the massive construction started here, as the Technological Institute was being built, they sold most of their land to the city. In the early 20th century a range of mansions was built in the street, including the Governor’s Mansion and Governor’s Office.
The buildings in Darvina Street have been well preserved and are of special interest for those fond of old architecture.
Built in the style of Neorenaissance, 9, Darvina Steet is a former house of merchant Ryzhov (designed by V. Velichko, 1912). This is one of the few mansions of the city which preserved its initial outlook. During the early years of Soviet power, it housed the Extraordinary Commission for Fighting Counterrevolution, Speculations and Sabotage. Later it became home to the All-Ukrainian Society of Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries. Since 1934 it has become the House of Architects.
Situated next to it is a former mansion of English Consul Charles Blacky, now housing the House of Artists (designed by V. Gaush, 1911).
13, Darvina Steet is a mansion previously owned by D. Alchevsky, biology professor of Kharkiv University. The designer (A. Beketov) described the style of the building as Mauritanian. It used to house the Society of Working Women Mutual Help, the first mixed gymnasium for boys and girls and now it is home to Ukrainian-British College.

Further on, the architectural complex of the street resembles that of a small European town. 21 and 23, Darvina St. were designed by A. Beketov in 1901–1903 in the style of Neorenaissance. A very interesting building designed in the style of Modern by V. Rzhepyshevsky for a stage director N. Sinelnikov was built in 1914. Close to it (31, Darvina St.) is the house designed by V. Velichko for his family. At the end of the street there is a mansion designed by A. Beketov in 1912 (37, Darvina St.). Besides A. Beketov, painters M. Pestrikov and N. Samokish used to live there at different times.

Embroidery has been around for years – it is a craft that originated centuries ago and managed to keep itself alive in various forms. Embroidery is art and when it integrates into fashion, it creates something utterly unique and classic that never goes out of style. Embroidery on clothing gives a traditional look that is highly sought after these days – people want something different than the chic and modern styles that are prevailing, and embroidery offers just that.


This lovely, Floral Embroidered Drop Waist short Dress has 3/4 length set-in sleeves with a gathered shoulder, a flowing drop-waist cut, and a classic crew-shaped neckline. The black woven fabric is slightly sheer and adorned with symmetrical vines creating bright pink and blue blooms. Very refreshing. Size Medium. If you’d like to wear embroidered clothing, here are a few picks you should definitely get for your wardrobe to wear anytime, on any occasion. You can get them from Zaful.

Here are embroidery outfits I styled in different ways:
  1. STRIPE AND EMBROIDERY
  2. STREET STYLE : EMBROIDERED JEANS AND KNIT.
  3. AGBADA.

This is what I wore:

The spirit of the '80s continues via the runway's adoption of the more literal aesthetic codes as well as the decade's DIY culture—this is a season where you make the rules. Want to be a punk princess in one of the hundreds of see-through, peekaboo dresses designers have dreamt up in clouds of tulle and embroidery? Then you can—every day of the week. Fancy the idea of wearing whatever, whenever and however you imagine it in that moment? Then the radical mix 'n' match styling seen at some of the most influential fashion houses on the block will give you the confidence to do so.
Yah. Its Val's day Beautiful People, Enjoy your Day and love wisely. I have a class at 1 o'clock today, so let me quickly drop this before leaving.

Allow me to introduce the girl from the south. Her shoes are Speaking Fire. Perspex heels are my favorite at the Moment. Perspex is a huge trend right now which adds glam and style to any ankle boot, chunky heel or thigh-high boot. What's better with fashion, than wearing a Perspex boot on your feet? Right now.
Keep the heels chunky but the shoe classic with see-through barely-there styles and wrap-around-the-ankle detailing or a simple metal buckle. Don't be afraid of pairing them with color, coral and even denim work so well with this trend. Keep your look casual with jeans or dress it up in that figure-hugging bodycon dress.

Be careful while trying to a give boyfriend Jeans and Thigh high boot a try, you can get so hooked up with the sexy simple look. Let's just say T-shirts are competing with dresses. The trend has been seen with many celebrities, on runways and even on the streets of  Ukraine. 
Most People Like being simple yet want to make a statement, This is what you need.
