The first day of this Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week offered foreign and local press and fashion lovers no less than three shows by Global Talents Initiative winners. The three guest creators were accompanied on this day by grand shows from well-loved local brands, starting off with a collection of Russian fashion himself, Slava Zaitsev.

Special show Slava Zaitsev: ‘Moscow and Muscovites’
A great way to introduce guests to the new fashion week – a retrospective love letter of sorts to Moscow and its inhabitants by Slava Zaitsev, known internationally as the maitre of Russian fashion.
The finale was especially touching, as Slava himself rose from the audience to thunderous applause. A standing ovation has shown that the appreciation of Slava’s talent is alive and well in the heart of Moscow.
These designers engaged participants of Moscow Longevity program to appear in their shows.
BHSAD ‘Fashion Design’:
The famed Russian art and design school this year wanted to show us a gathering of young creatives exploring the most personal and intimate parts of their own creative psyche.
Calling the audience to view fashion as a pure art form, the young designers had just a year – starting from scratch as students of fashion – to prepare their finalized collections.

PRESENTATION | KAZÁKI
DNA of this emerging conceptual brand that appeared at MBFW Russia is based on nonconformity and provocation, first of all intended to reveal true feelings and emotions.
ODOR
The brand ODOR has become somewhat of a legend recently, with its hedonist and romantic aesthetics.
This, however, was no lighthearted collection.
Grim pictures from the terror of the trenches of the Great War filled the screens in front of the runway. Messages from never-delivered letters to loved ones from heroic soldiers who fell in France floated around solemnly.
Julia Dilua
The show by Julia Dilua Fashion House started with a truly fairy-tale introduction, and then Australian diva Peruquois appeared at the catwalk singing her Russian Soul. Turning to the Russian national traditions, Julia materialized our folklore and colors in her clothing.
The title partner of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia is Mercedes-Benz.
MBFW Russia partners: Aizel.ru (Official Partner), glo (Official Partner), Mary Kay (Official Make-Up Artist), MONÉ PROFESSIONAL (Official Style Artist), DHL (Official Logistics Partner), Sardinia (Official Partner), Metropol (Official Hotel).
