The company «FORINO» was founded far in 2004 by Elena Forino, the renowned master of the Bolshoi Theatre’s workshops or my beloved mother. Before setting up her own company, she was working hard, carefully accumulating the sufficient amount of knowledge and experience, involving 25 years behind the scenes of the main Moscow traditions cluster - The Bolshoi Theatre.
Later, the inestimable experience, combined with the mesmerizing talent of Elena Forino , found its reflection in the cooperation with the miscellaneous groups, including ones of Tatiana Anatolyevna Tarasova and Nicolai Morozov. The vast number of figure skaters from each corner of the blue planet were involved in the process, as well as the cooperation with Natalia Linichuk.
Having been one of three pioneers, she sewed flawless costumes for Russian skaters to shine, standing on the top places of the World and Europe Cups and Olympics of different years. The lucky owners of the costumes were Olympic champion 2002 Alexei Yagudin (all the costumes made in the times of tandem with Tatiana Anatolyevna Tarasova, including “The Man In The Iron Mask” and “Winter”, according to the sketches of Natella Abdulaeva), the Olympic champion 1998 Ilia Kulik, the Olympic champions 1994 and 1998 Oksana Grishuk/ Evgenii Platov, then Maya Usova/ Evgenii Platov, the Russian dance skaters Anjelica Krylova/ Oleg Ovsyannikov, the Canadian dance skaters Shae-Lynn Bourne/Victor Craatz, Peter Tchernyshev, the Ukrainian dance skaters Elena Grushina/ Ruslan Goncharov, the Israeli dance skaters Galit Chait/ Sergei Sakhnovski, the American dance skaters Melissa Gregory/ Denis Petukhov, the Olympic champion 2006 Shizuka Arakawa, Japanese single skaters Miki Ando and Daisuke Takahashi (according to Natella Abdulaeva’ sketches), French single skater Florent Amodio, Russian skater Alena Leonova, Chinese pair skating Pang Qing/ Tong Jian and the theatre of Natalia Bestemianova and Igor Bobrin.
Then, she was working with Nina Mikhailovna Mozer’s group, including Evgenia Tarasova/ Vladimir Morozov, Natalia Zabiiako/ Alexander Enbert, and of course our incomparable Olympic Champions Sochi 2014 Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov. In addition, our company has the close cooperation with synchronized swimming sportsmen, particularly with Olympic champions Maria Kiselyova and Olga Brusnikina (swimming costumes according to sketches of Nadezhda Russ) and the first Russian mixed duet in synchronized swimming Mayya Gurbanberdieva and Alexander Maltsev under the leadership of the Honored Master of Sports Gana Vladimirovna Maximova.
Furthermore, the constant clients of the company “FORINO” have always been the exemplary children’s theatre on ice “ALEKO” headed by Olga Ilyinichna Kondrashova, the synchronized swimming group of the honored coach of Russia Maria Nikolaevna Maximova, the Russian National Team of acrobatic rock-and-roll, including the club “GREGORY-TASS” under the direction of Abyzova Nadezhda Victorovna and many others.
Unfortunately, our life is a changeable and unpredictable phenomenon and now this splendid creativity, called the “costume manufacture” is in the hands of mine. I am Daria Danilova, the daughter of this gorgeous Woman, a Human, a Master, a fashion Designer and Mother rolled into one. Yes, undoubtedly, all of the amazing person’s features were entirely related to Elena Forino.
I am Daria Danilova, graduated from the institute with a degree of the fashion designer, have been working in this field since 2001. Having soaked up the tremendous experience of my mother - Elena Leonidovna Forino, I have been working in the company “FORINO” since its creation. I carry on creating unique looks and breathe life into them through sewing throughout the years. My individual projects, which were implemented with “FORINO” found their future life with numerous sportsmen from all over the world, including: the Japanese dance couple in figure skating Cathy Reed/ Chris Reed, Kana Muramoto/Chris Reed (according to Nadezhda Russ’ sketches), the Russian dance skaters Annabel Morozov/ Andrei Bagin, Russian pair skaters Daria Pavliuchenko/ Denis Khodykin, Spanish single skater Javier Fernández, Denis Ten, Israeli single skater Alexei Bychenko, Israeli pair skaters Anna Vernikov/ Evgenii Krasnopoliskii, Israeli dance skaters Shira Ichilov/ Vadim Davidovich (then Lauren Abecassis) and many others.
