She decided what would be fashionable: the fashion director of the TSUM Alla Verber passed away
The sad news came from Italy, where the fashion director of the Central Department Store and vice president of jewelry company Mercury died at the age of 62. Alla Verber.
She was always a role model, and no matter what Russian couturiers and stars think about fashion, it was she, Alla, who decided what would be fashionable in a particular season in the capital.
Two days ago, Alla was hospitalized in the clinic of the resort town of Forte dei Marmi. A preliminary cause of death is considered a heart attack. Journalists reported with reference to members of the Verber family that the woman was sick for a long time and seriously.

Alla was born in Leningrad in 1958. In 1976, her family left the USSR for Canada, and therefore moved to the United States and then to Italy.
Alla opened her first fashion boutique in Toronto when she was only 26 years old.
In the nineties alla verber the first in Russia to create haute couture boutiques. Since 2003, she took the post of fashion director of the Central Department Store. Verber was a real buyer - a man who decides which collections of world fashion should be bought for fashion boutiques in his country.
Alla Verber had a rare talent - with some incredible inner instinct to know exactly in advance, what trends will be in fashion not even in the next season, but for several seasons ahead. The most brilliant Russian stars were waiting for her approval, they listened to her advice.
In Canada, Alla Verber met a young man who became her husband, however, the marriage did not last long, after three years the couple broke up. Alla left their daughter Catherine. In the nineties, already in Russia, she met her second husband - businessman David Averbakh.
She lived with him for the remaining years, there were no children in this marriage, but Alla was not sad about this - she became the happy grandmother of two little granddaughters, which gave her an adult daughter.
