The workshop of the famous designer Nadezhda Petrovna Lamanova was founded in Moscow in 1885 and was initially located on Bolshaya Dmitrovka.

In 1908, a permanent atelier opened on Tverskoy Boulevard in a building designed by architect N.G. Lazarev at the request of Lamanova-Kayutova. By this time, Lamanova was already well-known in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and in 1904 she received the status of supplier to Her Imperial Majesty Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna.

The building where Lamanova worked was four stories tall, partially five stories with a residential semi-basement floor. During the Soviet era, two more floors were added. Lamanova purchased a plot of land measuring 350.50 square fathoms from Praskovya Gerasimovna Prokhorova on January 28, 1908. In March of the same year, construction began on a luxurious mansion with rich interior decoration: Italian marble, oak parquet, Mettlach tiles, stucco ceilings, marble staircases, and columns made of Italian, Estonian marble, and Tarusa limestone, central heating, and an elevator. It was a true palace of the queen of Russian fashion! The semi-basement housed a shop, a ladies' workshop, and apartments for staff.

In 1899, Nadezhda Petrovna married the nobleman Andrei Pavlovich Kayutov, assistant manager of the Moscow branch of the Insurance Society 'Russia' and an amateur actor, a friend of K. Stanislavsky. Their marriage was happy and harmonious, although they had no children. The couple lived together for 32 years. Nadezhda Petrovna had four sisters, and she supported the two younger ones until the end of her life. The house included living quarters for the family, an atelier, workshops, staff rooms, and a charitable school for girls known as the Kayutov School. In 1915, 78 girls were educated there, who called Nadezhda Petrovna 'Mama Nadya.' The girls received free education and skills in tailoring, and upon graduation, each received a dowry.

Lamanova never made patterns. She created dresses like a sculptor, draping fabric, lace, and pins around the lady. This took hours, and clients sometimes fainted, but the dresses looked like they were from Paris.

Nadezhda Lamanova was a costume designer for the Art Theatre. She created costumes for performances based on the drawings of famous artists. The Diaghilev seasons with Lamanova's costumes based on Bakst's sketches were successful in Paris. The dress of Ranevskaya from 'The Cherry Orchard,' in which Olga Knipper-Chekhova shone, was made by her. Lamanova called herself the 'architect of fashion,' as she did not like needles, and her assistants did the sewing.

In 1917, Nadezhda Petrovna stayed in Russia, sold the house, and invested the money in the People's Bank. The family moved to Eropkinsky Lane, 4.

In 1919, Andrei Pavlovich Kayutov and all the household, including Nadezhda Petrovna, were arrested on charges of secret meetings against Soviet power. They were held in Butyrka prison for two months but were released due to lack of evidence. According to legend, Maxim Gorky intervened for Nadezhda Petrovna. Kayutov was held for 2.5 months, and the case was also dismissed. Her brother-in-law Vladimir Nikolaevich Radugin was executed.

At 56, Nadezhda Petrovna started everything anew. The performances of the Vakhtangov Theatre 'Turandot,' 'Zoykina Apartment' featured her costumes. The wives of Bolsheviks sewed dresses in her atelier. She created outfits from everything, even blankets and towels. In 1925, her collection of dresses in the Russian style received worldwide recognition at an exhibition in Paris, winning the Grand Prix. Then her costumes were successfully exhibited in Leipzig and New York.

On October 15, 1941, Nadezhda Petrovna and her sister arrived at the MHT during a time of panic in Moscow. On the way to the metro, she suffered a stroke near the outpatient clinic of the Bolshoi Theatre on Bolshaya Dmitrovka. Attempts were made to help her, but she could not be saved. She was buried in the Don Monastery, cremated, and interred at Vaganikovo Cemetery next to her husband.

Building No. 10 was raised during the Soviet era and is now part of a complex of three buildings: 12, 10, and 8. The building belongs to the ITAR-TASS agency.

In 2021, it marked 160 years since the birth of Nadezhda Petrovna Lamanova and 80 years since her death. A fundraising campaign was announced for a memorial plaque in her honor. The necessary permits have been obtained, and most of the funds have already been raised.
