Madame & Mister Sibarita at Moscow Fashion Week
Many collections by Russian designers showcased this season at Moscow Fashion Week have sparked considerable media attention and drawn the interest of fashion industry experts. The brand Koss focused on a play of textures and a contrasting palette in its new collection, combining classic New Look–inspired silhouettes with airy chiffon and rich velvet. Designers of Capparel explored the idea of physical presence and material memory, turning folds and imprints of body movement into the central elements of the collection’s architectural structure. The brand MME showcased a collection that harmoniously blends precision and sculptural structure with softness, capturing the inner strength and understated elegance of the contemporary woman. XakaMa – Fashion House of Lena Makashova, which celebrated its 35-year anniversary, presented a collection enriched with avant-garde details – intricate straps, asymmetrical multi-tiered folds, dresses with vests, voluminous accent trousers and an interplay with pockets. The Ammonit collection featured flowing silhouettes and soft fabrics designed to provide comfort and confidence in the rhythm of the modern city.
The global spirit of the event was reflected in the participation of the Spanish label Madame & Mister Sibarita. Designer Patricia Emma Fernandez Ortiz draws inspiration from Indian aesthetics, incorporating its vibrant colors and rich craft traditions into the brand’s collections.
“Our brand offers something truly distinctive: a fusion of cultures and aesthetics. Madame & Mister Sibarita combines the rich textile traditions of India with a contemporary Western vision, creating pieces that are not only luxurious but also unique and full of personality. The Russian market is particularly receptive to fashion with character, craftsmanship, and story. For us, this represents a significant opportunity to introduce our differentiated approach, while for the Spanish fashion industry, it opens doors to showcase creativity, quality, and innovation on a new international stage”, – shared Patricia Emma Fernandez Ortiz.
Moscow Fashion Week has long been a most effective platform for the development of emerging brands, opening doors for up-and-coming designers to enter new international markets. A great example of this is Russian label Hatsibana, a regular participant at Moscow Fashion Week, which proudly showcased its collection at Lakmé Fashion Week in India last October.
“This trip was more than just a runway show for me — it became a true dialogue of cultures, a moment when the heritage of the Caucasus was expressed in a language understood around the world. We didn’t simply present our brand; we laid the foundation for future collaborations and for entering one of the world’s most promising markets,” said Fatima Shogenova, designer and founder of Hatsibana.
Moscow Fashion Week is now in full swing, with many remarkable shows and exciting collections still to come. The event continues to serve as a space where local traditions meet the global demands of the fashion industry, helping designers connect with audiences around the world.
