While we’re finally seeing some major signs of recovery for the fashion industry as a whole, we’re still far off from a return to normalcy - if a return to the previous status quo is possible at all.

New York, NY (PRUnderground) November 9th, 2020

Not everything is grim, as it turns out, as Futurum Moscow event proves – created by Russian Fashion Council and supported by the Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development of the city of Moscow for the first time. This day was usually set aside to give way for young Russian fashion talent and allow them a separate space in which they could showcase their newest creations.

With a wide variety of media on show – from virtual presentations of collections by digital artists to avant-garde designs by debutantes, this season’s Futurum Moscow was something to watch – and people did, with more than a million views on the live stream shown around the world on October 3rd.

Powered by musical and visual creations born from artificial intelligence, augmented reality and futuristic works by young designers from Russia’s capital, this one-of-a-kind presentation highlighted the way ahead and offered up a brave and uncompromising vision of fashion of the future.

Creatives from Moscow exhibited their beautiful and striking visual collections. Yana Sergeeva introduced a few pieces utilizing macramé method straightened out to contemporary patterns. Garments from Albina Kan grasped ordinary looks, consolidating Asian road style and Russian constructivism. Her cyberpunk-style collection included meditations on The Maze Runner, just as stereotypic vision of Asia’s offer in mechanical development.

The show by Denis Byvaltsev contained creation of a craftsmanship: in the focal point of the platform, the craftsman did his sorcery, while the models concluded the plot. One of the looks was related with Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin’s work, and another included an enormous scope print with Sandro Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.

Finally, there was a great collection by NOT TODAY, Chinese wraparound dresses in unadulterated sea blue, combined with wide-cut Balenciaga-style coats and pants in blue-green, emerald velvet dresses and black-top jean outfit combos – the show began with a ton of green and yellow. The NOT TODAY lady, it appeared, is cosmopolitan in the best feeling of the word – down to earth and immortal, these fits were ideal for a European fashionista.

Artists J. Mars, Andrey Aznet and Sasha RTS otherwise known as Risui Tusui drew graffities live right on the Mosgormash walls. Sasha RTS, Andrey Aznet and Misha Vert made some exceptional VR-based works: enlivened by the assortments introduced by the Moscow fashioners, the craftsmen made some computerized artworks in Virtual Reality. In their turn, specialists Alexey Novikov, Maxim Karadutov, and Egor Karpenko made another masterpiece – Object #04-0.02, a light establishment with numerous contrastingly estimated squares, which was accessible right during the shows. Sound plan for the livestream was made by Artificial Intelligence from MUBERT Team. Enhanced visualizations for the recordings on the stream were planned by Stanislav Glazov, an advanced craftsman.
