Around 15 international brands will showcase their collections at the seventh edition of Moscow Fashion Week, Deputy Mayor Natalia Sergunina announced. The event is set to take place at the Central Exhibition Hall ⁠'Manege' from September 26 to October 1.
“Designers from more than 20 countries have participated in the project over the years. This season will welcome representatives from over 10 countries to the capital, including Kazakhstan, China, and Türkiye,” said Natalia Sergunina.

Alongside the fashion shows, the program will include lectures and the World Fashion Shorts film festival. Visitors will also have the chance to purchase clothing, footwear, and accessories at the Pop-Up Shop.

Moscow Fashion Week’s key objectives are to promote domestic manufacturers, broaden their reach in both their home and international markets, and encourage cultural exchange – recognizing that the fashion industry involves much more than just designing and manufacturing garments.

"Cooperation between Kazakhstan Fashion Week and Moscow Fashion Week helps strengthen professional and cultural ties between the fashion industries of Kazakhstan and Russia. It creates a lasting platform for exchanging experience, creative ideas and current practices, while also helping audiences and industry professionals gain a deeper understanding of contemporary design in our two countries," said Sayat Dosybayev, Founder and Executive Producer of Kazakhstan Fashion Week.

Previous seasons of Moscow Fashion Week have brought together around 1,000 Russian and international designers. For instance, over 70 partnership agreements were signed by industry representatives during the previous Moscow Fashion Week.

"For Chinese designers, Moscow Fashion Week is a valuable opportunity to present contemporary collections rooted in Eastern traditions. It provides access to media, buyers and partners in Russia and neighbouring markets. The platform also contributes to the development of intercultural dialogue," said Shan Wei, founder of a Chinese brand.

BRICS+ Fashion Summit

Traditionally held as part of Moscow Fashion Week, the international BRICS+ Fashion Summit will take place from September 28 to 30. It will gather fashion industry experts from over 60 countries – from Brazil and South Africa to Vietnam and Morocco.  

The business agenda will focus on emerging market trends, support for local brands, attracting investment, the role of traditional crafts and cultural heritage in contemporary fashion, the use of artificial intelligence, high-tech materials, and other related topics.

In 2025, the BRICS+ Fashion Summit attracted more than 260 professionals from 65 countries, representing a third of the world’s nations..

"The Russian market is undoubtedly one of the most important for the Belarusian fashion industry. Relations between the two countries create favourable conditions for developing trade, professional and cultural cooperation. The similarity of our cultural codes is also significant: clothes created by Belarusian designers are easily understood by Russian consumers and fit naturally into their perception of contemporary fashion," said Yanina Goncharova, Founder of Belarus Fashion Week.
