The Ones That Stayed With Us Unforgettable Showings from Moscow Fashion Week, March 2025
Attending Moscow Fashion Week this March wasn’t just a journey through fashion — it was a collision of stories, textures, and sensibilities that left an imprint long after the final show wrapped. These weren’t collections built for virality or trend-hopping. They were bold statements — sincere, stirring, and steeped in vision. And out of all that we saw, these were the ones that stayed with us.
Syukriah Rusydi’s “Reborn29” opened like a whisper — delicate silhouettes, hushed palettes, and an almost weightless quality that spoke to rebirth and stillness. In contrast, Zotême stomped confidently in, wielding bold lines and sharp tailoring like a manifesto. It wasn’t just fashion — it was graphic sculpture in motion.
I-LA offered winterwear with edge and grace, sheer layers colliding with architectural structure. It was both romantic and smart — the kind of collection that doesn’t just warm you but makes you feel armoured in elegance. Kisselenko did something quieter but no less compelling: razor-sharp monochromes softened by nods to Japanese detail, a masterclass in minimalism with soul.
Ermilov (Ermi) brought colour to life — literally. Gradients flowed, fabrics rippled, and there was something alive about every piece, as if the garments themselves were breathing.
Persvestruck a balance between structure and slack, tailoring that knew when to hold and when to let go. It was confident without being loud.
Unke played with shadow like a director of light — fabrics shifting character under changing glows, designs that were never static.
Measure pulled memory into the present, modernizing centuries-old Kubachi craft in silhouettes that felt at once antique and new. IMKMode gave us theatre — deep tones, corsetry, silhouettes that swept across the stage like scenes from a noir fantasy.
Miguel Llopis transported us — sun-drenched palettes, flowing forms, and the languid calm of Mediterranean summer stitched into every look.
Darya Kipriyanova’s designs literally moved — pieces transforming in real time on the runway, never the same garment twice.
Alexander Varlakov flirted with mid-century nostalgia, pulling 1950s elegance into the now with sharp restraint.
Les Noms felt like a dialogue between past and present — old-world craftsmanship meeting contemporary lines, worn-in charm polished for modern eyes.
Loginov gave us a riot of 1970s rock. Bold prints, glittering textures, scarves with custom art, and unapologetic flamboyance made the runway pulse. Accessories didn’t just complement — they amplified the spirit of rebellion.
And then there was Alexander Rogov, who brought chaos — the good kind. Leopard clashed with lime green, deep purple danced with scarlet. It was maximalist, playful, and entirely his own language — and the crowd (us included) couldn’t look away. His front row? A scene in itself.
Vereja’s “Web of Patterns” turned the runway into folklore. With motifs rooted in Slavic protection carvings and silhouettes echoing royal tradition, the collection was less about garments and more about myth. The intricate jewelry, the storytelling — every piece held a secret.
Masterpeace did what its name promises. Evgenia Linovich’s hand-touched pieces — from velvet vests to jewelry forged through volunteer projects in Peru’s Sacred Valley — embodied intentionality. It was ethical fashion that didn’t need to scream it. You felt it. You saw it. You remembered it.
And from Turkey, Emre Erdemoğlu stood out with a collection built around bold, luxurious leather — from traditional capes to statement pant suits, crafted for those who command attention. His show opened and closed the week, anchored by memorable fur accents and standout pieces like a short fur coat paired with a metallic mesh skirt, offering a modern, unapologetically striking vibe.
What Moscow Fashion Week gave us this time was not just a glimpse into fashion’s future — it was a reminder that the best stories don’t follow formulas. They come alive when designers trust their instincts, embrace their roots, and turn clothing into something you carry with you. These are the collections that did just that.
