The fourth day of the Moscow Fashion Week has ended

The fourth day of Moscow Fashion Week was marked by shows by talented Russian designers and stellar foreign shows. The famous Turkish designer and founder of the brand Emre Erdemoglu presented his first women's line on the Moscow catwalk, and the popular Turkish actor Uraz Kaigilaroglu opened and closed the show. Two Indian brands with global names were also on the schedule. Samant Chauhan is known for his exquisite embroidery on silk, and CoEK – Khadi India is known for its great attention to natural fiber, known since the time of Mahatma Gandhi. Of particular interest was the Slava Zaitsev fashion House show, which presented Vyacheslav Zaitsev's archive collection with a 30-year history.

The Moscow Fashion Week was also attended by star guests, including Evgeny Plushenko, Olympic figure skating champion.

In its new collection, the elisabetta brand has emphasized style in voluminous wool capes, double-breasted coats and military-style pea jackets, while dressing gowns with ties at the waist perfectly accentuate relaxed elegance. The color palette of the collection is presented in the form of earthy shades of tobacco, graphite, bordeaux and dark emerald. When creating the collection, brand founder Alena Chuprina was inspired by the aesthetics of the 70s - in the images and products you can see emphasized soft silhouettes with a touch of bohemianism. At the same time, the brand offers its own interpretation of this style, which features a clean cut, and high-quality materials, including wool with cashmere, silk and alpaca, perfectly complement the overall picture.

The new collection of the men's brand Edderis a successful embodiment of smart casual. The audience saw bold and relevant images that successfully combine elegance and sportiness, relaxation and functionality. The brand prefers laconic silhouettes, thoughtful details and, of course, restrained, but at the same time rich colors – non-boring gray in different variations juxtaposes with different tones of beige, chocolate, ochre and black. Premium materials provide an excellent fit, helping to create those relaxed, yet thoughtful and stylish bows.

The Department of Costume and Fashion Art of the Institute of Arts of the A. N. Kosygin Russian State University presented a collective collection. Future designers have integrated elements of Russian folklore into the collection – national costumes, fur hats with tails, shirt fronts, and head accessories. And the complex textures and layering in tandem with deep colors and prints made us look at the presented collection more closely.

The Darya Kipriyanova brand is known and recognizable due to the author's creation of his own original design solutions, his found shapes, silhouette lines and transformer products. It is the transformer products that have become a feature of the collection: such things allow you to experiment with images, creating always unique and unique outfits. Layering, lightness and volume are the important components of the new line. The materials used in the collection, such as silk and velvet, look noble, shimmering perfectly under the spotlight.

One of the international representatives at Moscow Fashion Week is the Indian brand collaboration FDCI presents: CoEK - Khadi India | Samant Chauhan. The collection shown is characterized by noble and restrained shades – chocolate, ochre, deep green and rich purple. An interesting fashion solution was the contrasting linings that adorn the products, they looked especially impressive on models in maxi length. The lightness and dynamics were supported by such a fashionable option - a snow–white and flowing floor-length dress.

The Moscow brand Cosarêve presented a collection inspired by the smooth lines of the oblique cut, the soft shapes of feminine, thin and light fabrics, a combination of masculine oversize and elegance in the spirit of the 50s and 70s. Premium materials – silk organza, natural eco-leather, wool, excellent fit of products, as well as the quality of workmanship, including interior decoration, add a special completeness to the collection. And hand embroidery and original prints are still the hallmark of the brand.

The Moscow fashion house Slava Zaitsev presented the archive collection "Eternity", dedicated to the memory of its ideologue and founder, the legendary Slava Zaitsev. The pret-a-porter capsule, mainly made of suit fabrics in shades of gray and black, was revealed in the fashion show in a variety of tones and semitones, from lighter to saturated. The laconic models were created using the dummy method and the flat cut method, with which Vyacheslav Mikhailovich experimented a lot in search of new forms and visual solutions. The brand continues to develop these fashion trends, not forgetting the stunning flowing and iridescent evening dresses. And idyllic monochrome images, reminiscent of silent films, transform into futuristic silhouettes stretching into sparkling cosmic distances beyond the horizon of consciousness.

Lectures "Couture Couture: on the influence of Russian hats on world fashion...", "From idea to positioning" were held in the lecture hall of Moscow Fashion Week.: how to create a fashion brand with meaning", "The face of the season. How and why do modern visual techniques and trends work?", as well as the discussion "Local vs international gloss. Challenges of the time and prospects".
