“Something really special is happening in Russian fashion nowadays. The industry is currently experiencing amazing creative and commercial success domestically. If this momentum keeps up, if the Russian fashion wave is supported, it could potentially engulf the world of fashion in the way that Belgian and Japanese designers transformed it at the turn of this century. Russia could be the next fashion hothouse!,” said Stephan Rabimov, DEPESHA founder and editor-in-chief.
