On the fourth day of Moscow Fashion Week, collections were showcased by brands from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, and Yakutsk, as well as from two international participants: Spain and Turkey. Moscow Fashion Week is not only one of the industry’s largest global events, but also a vital platform for young and emerging designers to present their work to a wide audience, connect with experts, and attract new clients and partners.

Sergey Sysoev Fashion School, Kosygin University (Moscow)
At Moscow Fashion Week, Sergey Sysoev Fashion School from Kosygin University presented its Spring-Summer 2026 collection. Students experimented by merging traditional craftsmanship with innovation. “Modeling and embroidery, collage and printmaking, papier-mâché, sculpting and 3D printing, applique techniques and felting, all kinds of knitting and lace weaving, macramé, patchwork and leatherwork, historical and innovative corsetry,”  this is how designer and founder Sergey Sysoev described the collection.

 Ermilov (Ermi) (Moscow)
The Ermilov (Ermi) brand unveiled its menswear collection titled Create, a clear reflection of the label’s DNA: projecting the architecture of man in nature. Varied shapes, deep tones, and soft lines form the foundation of this new line. The collection emphasizes flawless minimalist casual style — seen in intentional looseness, asymmetry, raw hems, and crinkled fabrics. One key feature deserves mention: the label processes garments by shrinking, aging, and dyeing them through different hand techniques, achieving a unified silhouette and visual integrity.

Emre Erdemoğlu (Turkey)
Returning once again to Moscow Fashion Week, Turkish brand Emre Erdemoğlu showcased a new collection where leather took center stage in all its variations. From maxi trench coats and oversized biker jackets to tailored suits, leather dominated the runway. Suede accents and fur pieces complemented the aesthetic. Suede fringe, leather harnesses, and wide belts highlighting the waist echoed Wild West motifs, while dramatic details — such as long gloves and beaded embellishments — completed the outfits.

A rich color palette mirrored the frozen hues of its surface. Organza with a custom pleated effect became the label’s signature fabric this season.

Oleg Levitskiy (Krasnodar)
Krasnodar-based Oleg Levitskiy is known for emphasizing structural elements in clothing. The label’s DNA lies in architectural cuts and provocative design. This collection maintained that signature: intentionally unfinished looks, exposed seams, asymmetrical forms. Dedicated to the backstage of Russian theater in the late 19th century, most pieces resembled costumes turned inside-out. Materials included wool, linen, silk, artisanal fabrics, and vintage-dyed textiles.

The lineup featured oversized coats, silk blouses, raw-seam trousers, flowing jumpsuits with draping, and cozy wool and cashmere dresses, paired with signature jewelry.

Boyari (Moscow)
Innovative Moscow brand Boyari introduced its new collection Couture. The brand’s DNA incorporates sustainable fabrics such as Appleskin and Tencel.

Ogo Citizen (Yakutsk)
Yakutian brand Ogo Citizen explored contrasts. Its new collection Kubuļuyuu (“transformation”) reflected on bodily boundaries through evolutionary aesthetics. Freedom and accident were central: deformed silhouettes, asymmetric draping, and unfinished details clashed with rigid structures, resembling forms born from chaos. Highlights included sculpted spine tops, corset-armor pieces, distorted sleeves, unraveling seams, and a palette of muted beige with coal black, punctuated by surprise color accents.

Details included handmade pewter buttons and natural fabrics, treated with hand-dyeing and washing. The brand’s deconstructivist avant-garde aesthetic was evident, particularly in semi-transparent suits and dresses, a sleeve-shaped handbag, and structural deconstruction as a defining motif.
