Mumbai, India 2025
Moscow Fashion Week is a major fashion hub that attracts a global audience, including designers, models, experts, stylists, and journalists from well-known magazines. This time, the fashion event is scheduled from March 13 to 18 and will feature around 200 Russian and International brands on its runways.
Besides renowned Russian labels, designers from various regions and countries will participate in Moscow Fashion Week. The event promises a truly global showcase, with participants hailing from countries such as China, South Africa, Indonesia, the USA, Spain, Turkey, and more. Notably, India will make a significant mark on the event this spring with the esteemed presence of two distinguished brands presented by FDCI: Centre of Excellence for Khadi – Khadi India and the designer Samant Chauhan.
CoEK – Khadi India holds a special place in Indian culture, representing self-sufficiency, and sustainability. Khadi embodies a philosophy of deliberate, conscious fashion that cherishes craftsmanship and nurtures local economies.
Designer Samant Chauhan is an esteemed figure in Indian fashion. The brand has earned global acclaim for its intricate and graceful embroidery on Bhagalpur silk. Samant Chauhan is a regular participant in international fashion events and is excited to showcase his collection in Moscow. The designer expressed his enthusiasm for participating in Moscow Fashion Week:
‘Moscow Fashion Week is a prestigious platform that allows us to showcase our designs to an international audience. For our brand, participating in this MFW is a significant step in expanding our global presence, engaging with a new market, and connecting with fashion enthusiasts, buyers, and media in Russia,’ – said Samant Chauhan. ‘Russia has a growing appreciation for diverse fashion influences, and we see a strong synergy between Indian craftsmanship and Russian aesthetics.’
Indian designers grace the runways of Moscow Fashion Week frequently, owing to the strong partnership between the Moscow Fashion Week and the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI). In a fashion exchange, Russian label MEASURE, renowned for its modest fashion aesthetics, captured hearts at Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI in India last year. Following its successful outing on the Indian runway, MEASURE is now poised to captivate audiences at the upcoming Moscow Fashion Week with its distinctive collection.
Another esteemed Russian brand, SOLANGEL, has been capturing the attention of fashion experts for several seasons. This spring, the brand will present an evening collection on the Moscow runway featuring fabrics adorned with crystals, a trademark of the fashion house. SOLANGEL’s glamorous designs have been worn by celebrities like Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Ornella Muti, and others. The stunning leopard-print jumpsuit that Jennifer Lopez recently wore in the UAE was exclusively crafted for her by this Russian brand.
