Moscow Fashion Week: Shows of Russian brands continue at the RUSSIA EXPO
On March 5,
brands from Moscow, Astrakhan, Belgorod, Novomoskovsk, Podolsk, Ulyanovsk and
Ufa presented new collections at the exposition.
Natalya
Sovetskaya. NS Brand (Podolsk)
Designer
and founder of the brand Natalya Sulimina was inspired by the history of the
USSR when creating the collection. The collection is based on a combination of
tight-fitting dresses and eco-fur hats with earflaps. Men's jackets, also
presented in the images, are assembled from hundreds of pieces of different
fabrics in a certain geometric order. Natalya Sovetskaya. NS Brand puts a piece
of Russian culture into each image.
Presentation
of Ulyanovsk clothing brands (S. Leto, Kofpla, Res by res, Boston) (Ulyanovsk).
Five
fashion brands from Ulyanovsk were shown at the International RUSSIA EXPO: S.
Leto, Kofpla, Res by res and Boston. The collections are dominated by the
office style, which is trendy this season. Maxi length dresses and skirts,
decoration with bows and pearls, total grey looks - designers are actively
adopting popular fashion trends of this season. On the models you can see
clothes in shades of red, items with fringe, and strict gray images are
complemented with accent accessories. The brightness is given by metallized
boots, an ordinary shirt in an atypical lilac shade or a gold chain with large
earrings. Dresses with added asymmetrical blue elements remind the audience of
the city's geography: Ulyanovsk is the city of three rivers.
Booomerangs
(Novomoskovsk)
The
collection by Novomoskovsk brand Booomerangs presents a minimalist base as well
as more complex shapes, clearly drawn silhouettes and contrasting colors.
Classic black and white are complemented by trendy shades of olive, dark blue,
burgundy and deep purple. The brand's founder Evgeny Sobolev was inspired by
the idea of rethinking classic models of urban closet by means of actual forms,
bright accent colors and unusual design solutions.
SOFA
PYLENKO (Belgorod)
Initially,
the target audience of the young brand SOFA PYLENKO from Belgorod were
teenagers. In the new season of Moscow Fashion Week designer Natalia Pylenko
for the first time presented a women's collection, which turned out to be
laconic and restrained. Strict silhouettes were diluted by experiments with
denim and leopard print. Pearl accessories were the connecting element of all
the looks.
GURVICH
(Astrakhan)
Astrakhan
brand GURVICH showed a collection of cocktail dresses. Designer Marina Gurvich
has been creating unique looks for women for all occasions for more than 15
years. This time she relied on monochrome and classic colors: milky white, red
and black. All outfits looked feminine due to fitted silhouettes,
mother-of-pearl and lace. The show was closed by a model in a dress made of
transparent fine mesh with voluminous floral appliqué on the whole length.
8point2
(Ufa)
The name of
the Ufa brand 8point2 is not accidental: researchers believe that a man needs
8.2 seconds to fall in love at first sight. That's why the designer makes
everyday clothes that attract the eyes due to interesting details. The
collection conveys the idea of an eternal holiday, which can turn out to be an
ordinary weekday. The designer managed to combine cyberpunk and grunge
aesthetics with the mermaid style: silver blown sets for early spring or tight
shiny floor-length skirts with over-size bombers. The images were completed
with brooches in the shape of playing cards, colored fishnet tights and
original headwear.
Leffers
(Moscow)
The new
collection Modern Carmen from the Moscow brand Leffers added the Spanish
temperament to this season. Puffy skirts, veils, fitted silhouettes, boleros,
red and black - everything that evokes direct references to the image of the
main heroine of the famous opera. Designer Olga Leffers, continuing the
traditions of the style, added lace, transparent fabric, tulle, fake fur and
the brand's business card - hand embroidery. Large earrings, roses in hair
completed the looks. The evening wear collection turned out to be elegant and
theatrical at the same time. The show was closed by a model in a black puffy
dress with an unexpected headdress - a black kokoshnik with large flowers.
