In total, more than 80 shows were held at Moscow Fashion Week, 11 of them were conducted by students of the country's leading specialized educational institutions. More than 1,500 models participated in the event. In total, more than 2,500 images were presented.

"Moscow Fashion Week plays a big role in the development of the industry in Russia. This is the only professional platform where talented, young designers show their collections along with already well-known brands. It is important that Russia has an institution that supports local designers and helps organize shows," said Oleg Ovsiev, designer of the Viva Vox brand (Moscow).

"Every Moscow Fashion Week is a huge increase in direct sales, an opportunity to invite customers and friends of the brand to a show in the very center of Moscow with strong technical and informational support. It is also a flight of creative thought, imagination, the development of directing and producing skills, and invaluable experience. And for me personally, this project is also a clear time frame for working on the collection," said Evgenia Linovich, designer, founder and creative director of the Masterpeace brand (Moscow).

Many brands relied on cultural codes, philosophy, mythology, and also talked about technological progress and the world of the future. So, on the catwalks, the Russian cultural code was intertwined with cyberpunk, marine aesthetics with evening elegance, and retro-futurism with modern minimalism.
