Fashion Trends

Following the latest Volvo Fashion Week in Moscow, another Russian Fashion Week has recently been launched (Russian Fashion Week-2010). On the first day of the event the famous designers Vyacheslav Zaitsev and Maria Kravtsov presented their new collections.

A lot of local celebrities gathered at the fashion show of Zaitsev, including Evelina Khromchenko and her son, Alyona Doletskaya, Olga Buzova, Marianna Maksimovskaya and Tatiana Mikhalkova.
Autumn-Winter Collection 2010-2011 from Slava Zaitsev turned out to be traditionally bright and colorful, with a predominance of red-black tones and luxurious decoration orders.

In addition, Zaitsev surprised the audience, falling into modernity and showing on the runway half-naked male models and men dressed in women clothes and on the “heels”. However, although many saw parallels with the early works of Chanel, all the guests were satisfied with the showing.
Young metropolitan stars – such as Irena Ponaroshku, Yana Lebedeva, Olga Shelest and Tanya Tereshina were present at the fashion show. It turned out that the designer of the brand has changed its name – now the brand is called Muscovites and is oriented on the West.

In a press interview Kravtsova said: “We want to refocus the brand on the Western audience. In the nearest future we plan to participate in Pitty Uomo (Italy) and Tranoi (France) fashion shows. I do not know what we shall manage to do as a result, but I think it is worth trying”.
Autumn-Winter Collection 2010-2011 from Muscovites was frankly dismal. Its basic colors are black, asphalt-grey, brown, emerald green, dirty beige. Complex cut, geometric shapes and thick fabrics create unusual style that will surely interest those who prefer alternative fashion.
Voluminous sweaters, pleated skirts and loose pants, narrowing at the ankles, are the functional basis for of the collection. In general, such clothes make feel warm, cozy and comfortable in autumn, though these dresses, as they say, are not to everyone’s taste.
