About BRANDS AND COLLECTIONS OF THE SHOW
Nina Samokhina. Secret Garden: The brand translates the ideas of escapism and hedonism, "seasoned" with playful femininity. The collection is a cocktail of the aesthetics of the 70s, French romance and Soviet cult masthead: mohair scarves, a Bologna raincoat and knitted vests. The designer uses both manual decoration techniques stencil etching, stitch and stem stitch, and modern technologies cutting on a 3D milling machine and machine embroidery.
Dinara Husayenova. White Willow: The concept of the brand and the first collection is based on the multifaceted concept of movement. Using constructive techniques, the designer boldly experiments with the plasticity and dynamics of clothing. Layering, assembly, flying details create a laconic silhouette on a static figure, but give a variety of shapes at the moment of movement. This is especially evident in the shooting of the collection with the participation of professional ballet dancer Stanislava Aitova.
Anastasia Kolesnikova. FOU: The inspiration for the brand's first collection was the book "Genius and Madness" by Cesare Lombroso. Rethinking the changing concepts of insanity and normality, in her collection, the designer turned to people who relate to clothes in the same way as herself: those who want to see real outfits even in everyday images, something intentionally exaggerated, bright and certainly attracting attention.
Olga Ivanova. Microcosm: The concept of the brand is based on the desire to return elegance to a woman in the conditions of a modern rhythm of life saturated with technology. In the collection, the designer skillfully combines fitted and loose silhouettes that give the image refinement and fragility. At the same time, products that emphasize the figure were made comfortable due to functional, but imperceptible elastic elements.
Timur Katkov and Olga Chelyapova. «OUR»: The brand concept addresses the topic of internal and external imbalance. Designers try to understand how we interact with our inner world and with the surrounding realities, talk about issues of gender, social, sexual identity, psychological problems. "Now it is important for us to understand that we are a Russian brand. We are trying to consider the problems of a global scale, but through the prism of our country. In the context of Russia, we want to touch on a lot of topics that are important to us: sexual minorities, parents' relations with children, social inequality and conscious consumption.
Olga Suprun. Suprun:The debut collection of the brand is a synthesis of historical, cultural, national elements of costume and digital environment. Taking as a basis the cut of the Russian folk costume of the XVIII-XIX century, the designer complements it with oriental elements and embodies it in modern materials of contrasting colors and textures. The personification of the collection was a turban printed with a 3D printer.
Maria Rafikova, Alexandra Talalai. MERÉ: The debut collection of Frame the result of the designer's reflection on the inner strength and independence of a woman through the prism of modern architecture and the history of national costumes. The geometric basis of the collection is a rectangle. Its structure conveys the spirit of self-sufficiency, while simultaneously entering into a dialogue with fabrics and textures that speak of fragility. As if succumbing to the strength of character, the rectangle begins to partially repeat the shape of the body.
Svetlana Dokukina. VIDEVESTE: «My brand has no concept, no beautiful story of creation, a well-thought-out potential target audience. There's nothing personal about it. Maybe this is my brand concept. I considered clothes as a separate element capable of independent life. The primary role here was played by the form, emphasized by monochrome fabrics and minimalism of details.
Maria Prasol. pRASOL: «pRASOL This is a brand of urban communication research, created for people who are looking not for clothes, but for costumes, plots and circumstances. The costume in this case is the result of spontaneity, sometimes even arising from mistakes. The brand's style is based on deconstruction and care. Caring for a strange person who learns about the modern world.
Lala Was shaking. HABIZHEN: The project is inspired by the events that took place in the Caucasus during Perestroika. This study puts the issue of assimilation from a new angle, reflecting the features familiar to the inhabitants of the Caucasus with their genuine pride, valor, self-respect and dignity, and combining this whole layer with modern world culture. The collection revives a familiar emotion in a person, immerses him in an atmosphere of duality, satire and grotesque, preserving the spirit of the Caucasus.
