Among the standout brands is Nitin Bal Chauhan presented by the Fashion Design Council of India. It’s known for its innovative approach and artistic Indo-Western aesthetic. This isn't the brand's first appearance at Moscow Fashion Week, and this year it reinforces its commitment to the Russian market and the BRICS community.
“I did my first show at Moscow Fashion Week and got a great response that encouraged me to come back again this season. I see the Russian market being very similar to the part of India I come from. They appreciate colour, rich hand embroideries and folklore. It is the best platform to showcase my work in Russia and with the best Media, Influencers and Bloggers attending the show it helped me in increasing the visibility of my brand,” said designer Nitin Bal Chauhan.
Moscow Fashion Week promises to unveil exciting discoveries in the fashion industries of BRICS countries and its partners. Among the vibrant Russian brands featured will be Measure and MERÉ.
