LUTANI (St. Petersburg)
The brand LUTANI immerses us in the world of vibrant wild nature, presenting a capsule of an urban predator. Animalistic prints transport us to the expanses of South Africa. It's important to note that the animal patterns are presented in a non-traditional interpretation - for example, the leopard is depicted in a monochromatic palette, while the zebra, on the contrary, is bold and vivid. Crochet tops, lightweight mesh, airy blouses evoke hot summers, and shades like tangerine, soft blue, and powdery pink remind of safari colors.

致画ZHIHUA (China)
The brand's new collection embodies the artistic traditions of the East. The show opened with a unique light show illusion.

But once hit by a spotlight, guests saw the model in a snowy white garment with a barely noticeable illumination. The collection featured winter puffer jackets made from textured materials, long and short variations, straight silhouette pieces, and models with a waist accent. The mystery of Eastern culture was reflected in prints resembling watercolor paintings. The show closed with a series of fur coats and fur garments.
