In the heart of the Russian capital, at the Central Exhibition Hall ‘Manege,’ Moscow Fashion Week x GigaChat (#gigafashionweek) continued and will run through March 19.

The fourth day brought together designers from Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Krasnodar, Chelyabinsk, Krasnoyarsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, alongside Turkey.

On the runways, designers drew inspiration from the Russian cultural code and folk tales, while intertwined with cyberpunk, marine aesthetics merged with evening elegance, and retro-futurism met contemporary minimalism. Meanwhile, the VK Lecture Hall hosted discussions on who shapes today’s trends and how fashion became a tool for exploring society, while in the AI fitting room, visitors continued trying on designer looks that had yet to enter production.

At the on-site studio of the Moscow 24 TV channel, interviews were held; on the fourth day of Moscow Fashion Week, guests included Emre Erdemoğlu, designer and founder of the Turkish brand Emre Erdemoğlu, Darya Kipriyanova, designer and founder of the brand Darya Kipriyanova, alongside Oleg Levitskiy, designer and founder of the brand Oleg Levitskiy. In the front rows of shows at Moscow Fashion Week were the key figures of the social scene, including fashion expert and host of the show ‘Fashion Podcast’ Alexey Suharev, TV presenter, stylist, blogger, and producer Alexander Rogov, actress Natalya Rudova, among others. The official photography service for the event was provided by the Rodchenko Moscow School of Photography and Multimedia. 

Ruban (Moscow)

On the 7th floor of Noôdome in Romanov Lane, the brand RUBAN presented its runway show as part of Moscow Fashion Week, showcasing the Fall-Winter 2026–2027 collection. Sheer organza was combined with rough, distressed leather. New colors and shades previously unused by the brand appeared: a bronze leather jacket or a skirt covered in golden feathers. Against the backdrop of very light, flowing fabrics, mink fur appeared – an essential part of a woman’s winter wardrobe. Fine knitwear, like a second skin, was styled alongside sheepskin coats and fur neckwarmers. There was plenty of the ‘inside-out’ effect: as if a dress had been worn like a skirt, with the straps positioned at the bottom. The accessories line was much broader this season: clutches  with suede fringe, large bags, shoppers, and clutches made of rough leather. The styling featured strips of fine mesh, under which strands of hair were casually arranged. The Ruban show was attended by prominent social figures and representatives of the Russian fashion industry. Moscow Seasons became the partners of the fashion show.

Sol Selivanova Olga (Moscow)

At the heart of the Moscow-based brand Sol Selivanova Olga’s collection ‘Inside Out’ are exposed seams and lace: it flows in skirts, hugs the figure in corsets, and serves as accessories. Beneath the softness of the materials, animalistic motifs emerge: checks are replaced by polka dots, and the restrained color palette – beige, gray, and black – is punctuated by bright red. The outfits were harmoniously completed with footwear by O'SHADE, the official footwear partner of Moscow Fashion Week.

Featured collections included ‘Silence’, ‘Alchemy’, ‘Fragility of Memory’, ‘Growth’, ‘Suzani’, ‘Ticket to the Past’, and ‘Biotransformation’. Each line impressed with intricate and unique silhouettes, rich symbolism, and experimental uses of color and embellishments.

Atelier Duo (Moscow)

Atelier Duo showcased a collection where the natural beauty of the ocean coastline and the culture of seaside towns speak through the silhouettes. The design merges contrasting elements and coastal flora shades in a tribute to marine aesthetics. Dedicated to women who see clothing as an extension of their inner strength, the collection centered on royal blue and white hues. The designers reimagined classic denim and double-breasted officer jackets by incorporating flowing silk, jacquard, and lace – the delicate patterns reminiscent of sea foam.

Tatiana Kotova’s new spring collection took inspiration from Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind. The palette featured soft sky tones ranging from morning mist to pink sunsets. Prints, pelerines, and ribbons created a retro-futuristic flair, evoking early aviators and sky explorers in hot air balloons. The outfits were complemented by footwear from O'SHADE, the official shoe partner of Moscow Fashion Week.
