The Turkish brand Emre Erdemoglu, which has been participating in the Moscow Fashion Week for more than the first time, showed a new collection in which leather in all possible forms took a key place. This material is presented in many images, ranging from maxi-raincoats and oversized braids to pantsuits. The leather was perfectly complemented by patches of suede and fur products.

Moscow brand SOL Selivanova Olga presented a collection called "I'm creating the life of my dreams". The brand's DNA is an artistic approach, spontaneity, nonconformity, playing with asymmetry, and searching for new forms, meanings, and visual presentation.

In the line, feminine products with an expressively accentuated silhouette are perfectly combined with things and accessories – for example, bags – in the oversized style.

The Territory of Fashion project demonstrated the creative and industrial potential of the Volga region. The collective show brought together graduate theses from two design universities and collections from two brands. The "Welcome to Baikal" collection by Vladislava Ens, a graduate of the Higher School of Design and Art of the Volga State University of Service, is inspired by the culture of Lake Baikal and the traditional costume of Buryatia. The connection between tradition and modernity is emphasized by jacquard fabrics with Buddhist motifs and rich textures. Alina Semakina's collection "Locura" was created under the influence of Dries Van Noten. Contrasting palette, embroidery, applications and fabric painting transform each model into an art object. Alice Petrova, a graduate of Samara State Technical University, drew inspiration from the shapes and textures of the plant world. The Mycelium collection recalls both the richness and diversity of nature and its fragility. Olga Pronina, the creator of the Levsha brand, saw the perfect image in the Soviet tumbler, which always returns to its original position no matter how you push it. The tumbler became the prototype for the "Code Red" collection. Inflatable sleeves, narrowed waists, domed skirts – all these are references to the shape of the toy.
