Moscow hosts 'Homegrown' Fashion Week, persisting despite Western seclusion and ongoing conflict
Moscow Fashion Week Amid International Criticism
Moscow is playing host to its annual Fashion Week, with the opening catwalk held at a unique location - the Kremlin Wall. However, this year's event is taking place amidst international condemnation due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The fashion week is serving as a response to Russia's isolation from the Western world, and a showcase of Russia's domestic industries. The Kremlin has launched a 'Made in Moscow' drive during this period, aiming to promote local industries.
The event is not limited to Moscow-based designers. More than 65 designers from various parts of Russia are participating, including notable names like Alena Akhmadullina and Alexander Arutyunov. Over 200 brands are taking part in the fashion week, with a small selection of foreign designers also participating. Armenian brand Loom Weaving and Nicaraguan designer Joseph Mendoza are among the international participants.
Alexander Arutyunov's designs were showcased at the opening catwalk, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the event. Despite the challenging circumstances, the fashion week is moving forward, demonstrating resilience and a commitment to the fashion industry.
The fashion week in Moscow is occurring in the midst of international criticism of Russia. It is a bold move by the country to promote its domestic industries and fashion scene, despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
As the fashion week continues, it remains to be seen how the international community will react to this event. One thing is certain, though - the fashion world in Moscow is determined to make its mark, come what may.
