CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Moscow Fashion Week took place from October 4 to 9, showcasing collections from more than 80 designers from different countries, including Russia, India, China, the UAE, Indonesia, Brazil, Costa Rica, and South Africa. One of the highlights was the New Delhi-based brand NITIN BAL CHAUHAN presented by the Fashion Design Council of India, whose show drew considerable attention from the audience.

NITIN BAL CHAUHAN presented by the Fashion Design Council of India, first showcased his work in Moscow in March. His return to Russia underscores the strengthening partnership between Moscow Fashion Week and the Fashion Design Council of India. We can look forward to seeing more Indian designers in upcoming seasons of Moscow Fashion Week.

Sunil Sethi, Chairman of the Fashion Design Council of India, shared, “India’s presence in the Russian fashion market presents immense potential. Russian consumers are increasingly gravitating towards unique, handcrafted fashion pieces that tell a story, and India’s rich heritage of textiles, embroidery, and design perfectly aligns with this trend. Indian designers can leverage platforms like the BRICS+ Fashion Summit to enter the Russian market with collections that blend tradition and contemporary appeal.”

NITIN BAL CHAUHAN, presented by the Fashion Design Council of India, showcased a collection at Moscow Fashion Week that prominently featured a variety of folds, pressed fabrics, and intricate designs. The trending colors included pale yellow, coral, and vibrant blue. Like many other participants of Moscow Fashion Week, the Indian brand embraced futurism and avant-garde styles, creating a collection that was both edgy and elegant. The models’ makeup was especially striking, they walked the runway with bold red lips and blue paint flowing from their eyes.

The Indonesian brand RAEGITAZORO made its appearance at Moscow Fashion Week, with a collection crafted from recycled industrial fabric remnants. Russian brands enchanted the audience, with St. Petersburg’s IANIS CHAMALIDY embracing grunge aesthetics and Moscow’s Loom by Rodina reinterpreting Russian traditions for contemporary fashion trends.
