STJAverse
DANTE & VIRGILIO,
back and forth
9 feb/ 2026
Откуда б ни был ты, наш друг -
С брегов Невы, Арно иль Сены -
Гряди и виждь, проникнув в Круг,
Чистилища и Лимба сцены.
Свершит Вергилий с Данте путь,
До сферы, где лучи Серены.
Блаженным не дают уснуть -
Неведения отступят тени,
И Беатриче страхов муть
Рассеет властным рук движением…
Вход на мистерию открыт
По именному приглашенью.

St. Petersburg, February 9, 2026 — The STJAverse brand, led by designer Anastasia Van Koff, immersed guests in the couture mystery "Dante and Virgilio, Back and Forth."
- Anastasia Van Koff
This is a journey from fruit to roots and back again—from the divine revelations of the "Commedia" to the pastoral origins of the "Bucoliques." We invite you to immerse yourself in the couture mystery of "Dante and Virgilio, Back and Forth."
The mystery play took place at the KRUPA Cultural Center (formerly the N.K. Krupskaya Cultural Center)
Obukhovskaya Oborony Avenue, 105
m. Elizarovskaya, St. Petersburg

The inspiration for the collection and the mystery were the handwritten books of artist Andrei Vankov.
STJAverse fabrics become the spatial embodiment of these works: silks transform into parchment pages, cuts into poetic lines, and silhouettes into visual allegories.

The duology consists of two collections: "Dante 3.7" and "Virgilio." They embody timeless wisdom and eternal earthly beauty.
The event presented exclusive short films that were selected for the Cannes and Venice film festivals.
Anastasia Van Koff is a fabric artist, director, and dancer, passionate about the Italian language and Dante Alighieri, and a programmer by training.
In 2022, Anastasia debuted under the STJAverse brand with an immersive fashion show of her couture collection, "DANTE 3.7." The show took place in Kurgan, the birthplace of her father, artist Andrey Vankov, whose work Anastasia conveys through her fabrics.
Anastasia is the organizer of the "Art with Water" swaps and co-organizer of exhibitions and performances with Andrey Vankov.
Looks from the Dante 3.7 collection have been exhibited in gallery art spaces.
