Hello to everyone who cares about fashion! Your fashion editor is here. There are so many trends and brands in my world that I decided to keep an online journal where I’ll take notes on the most important things in the industry. And although such diaries are often called personal, mine is open to all readers – so you will be aware of the most interesting things.
The six-day work week ended on a high note, and fashion, as always, managed to do everything (and even more). First – the magnificent Vogue World show, which we talked about separately: Nicole Kidman in Chanel, Jacob Rott in white shorts, and the atmosphere was like on Broadway. Hunter Schafer then reminded us that fear can be quite elegant. The actress stars in the fall campaign for Gentle Monster, created by Nadia Lee Cohen.
Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo graces the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar, where stylist Yashua Simmons rounds up couture looks from Balenciaga, Schiaparelli, Dior and Maison Margiela Artisanal. And Irina Shayk appeared on the cover of Re-Edition in Givenchy’s holistic look, under the creative direction of Sarah Burton. Week, Tiffany & Co. and ended with Anya Taylor-Joy kicking off the Christmas season with a new campaign for her jewelery store. The holidays are still a long way away, but fashion has clearly gotten into the festive spirit.
There were really many interesting events this week, so I suggest you take a short digital journey with me into the latest news from the world of fashion and learn a little more about our domestic brands, advertising campaigns and collections. Shall we begin?
Once again, Timberland is turning to those who shape culture rather than following it. In its new Iconic campaign, the brand brings together three powerful names such as Skepta, Kiko Mizuharu and Spike Lee to talk about style, self-expression and being yourself. The highlight of the campaign is Skepta, the man who transformed English grime from the Tottenham underground into a global phenomenon. The rapper, producer, artist and icon of London street culture talks about the importance of believing in yourself, of just doing it without looking for approval: “Nobody really knows what they’re doing. Everyone’s just trying. So I need to try mine too.”
According to Skepta, style is an extension of character. His path is a reminder that fashion and music live not in a flashy way, but in the streets where real sounds are born. “Reality is built through community. Do it for your people and the world will know how cool you are,” he says.
The new Emka collection takes us to the Teriberka atmosphere, where the wind burns our cheeks, the sea calls out as if it is breathing, and the peace within us arises. “Northern Surf” is a manifesto of the inner balance and beauty of simple forms. The brand combines structure and softness, classic and freedom: fitted jackets with flowing architecture, tweed, suit fabrics with added wool and knitwear you want to feel against your skin.
The palette includes shades of the northern sky and the coast: from icy gray to warm mocha. Long-haired faux fur coats and woolen coats follow the movement of the waves, and a laconic bomber jacket becomes a new alternative to the classics. This collection is not about trends, it is about the situation: the calmness, awareness and quiet strength of the Emka woman.
In mid-October, Butler restaurant in Moscow hosted an evening dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the Fiore Bags brand, which over the years has become synonymous with modern style and elegance. The creators of the brand, Daria and Christina, thanked their friends and customers for their support and trust, noting that in 15 years Fiore Bags has grown from a small project into a recognizable name combining experts in quality and aesthetics. But the main event of the night was the presentation of the new Riva bag, a short, lightweight and fashionable model that reflects the brand’s DNA and sets the tone for the next chapter of its history.
Bikulova Adel’s first autumn-winter fall is a manifesto of femininity and self-confidence. Adele Bikulova designed the collection last year to create pieces that could be worn every day and still look great. The new capsule includes knitted miniskirts and peplum cardigans in warm white, cool graphite and rich terracotta tones. All products are knitted by Russian craftsmen and each cardigan comes with a knitted headband as a gift. The main highlight is the suit with fur cuffs made of Italian fabric: burgundy with a playful fur ruffle along the skirt, graphite stripes decorated with rhinestones and classic black.
Velvet and pan velvet are the main materials of the collection, from burgundy and glittery ultra blue to gray leopard mixed with 80s zebra. Skirts, tops, shirts and blouses can be easily combined with basic pieces, and the designer offers to complete the look with milk chocolate boots or dark cherry pony hair moccasins.
Russian brand Fashion Rebels and Lamoda presented an elegant, practical and feminine joint collection in the French style, in the spirit of après-ski. The muse of the capsule was Brigitte Bardot, the symbol of lightness and self-confidence, who knew how to look flawless even against the background of the snow-covered Alps. Valentina Mukhovikova, the brand’s creative director, explains: “Our hero is in a meeting in the morning, on the slopes in the afternoon, and has dinner with friends in the evening. This is real-life fashion, where you don’t have to choose between beauty and comfort.”
The collection includes feather-filled silhouette outerwear, soft knitwear, photo-printed t-shirts and accessories that transform the image into a stylish statement. Cashmere bibs, voluminous earmuffs and concise details create a winter holiday mood, maintaining the Fashion Rebels aesthetic: freedom, movement and femininity.
Russian brand Emergenza’s new collection brings the aesthetics of Italian resorts to the streetwear level and is inspired by the movie “The House of Gucci”. The main character of the campaign was actor Vladimir Gartsunov – in him the brand team saw a modern reflection of Adam Driver in the role of Maurizio Gucci. Concise t-shirts, hoodies and trousers made from thick knitwear recreate the moment when Maurizio abandoned luxury in the name of freedom. This is a story about redefining chic through street aesthetics: in the spirit of Gucci, but on its own terms.
Louve brand presented a new collection inspired by the aesthetics of the 90s, where minimalism, bold cuts and architectural silhouettes dominated. At the center are the season’s main trends: fitted shapes, accentuated shoulders and gorgeous cuts, reinterpreted in the brand’s elegant style.
Highlights include a burgundy jacket reminiscent of a men’s jacket and a patent leather mac with an accented waist, referencing ’90s fashion. Designers suggest combining them with a strappy midi dress in the spirit of quiet luxury or a leather pencil skirt and satin blouse in a gothic chic aesthetic. The collection is built on a play of textures of smooth and textured leather, silk and lace, and the palette combines powdery and rich shades, from milky and mocha mousse to deep black. The result is the perfect look for end-of-year evenings.
In Stelmy’s interpretation, autumn is the season of slowing down and conscious beauty. In the new collection, the brand turns to unique shapes and stylish silhouettes and prefers simplicity instead of ostentatious sparkle. Fitted jackets, coats with soft shoulder lines, silk and cashmere dresses create looks where every detail emphasizes the character and naturalness of the Stelmy hero.
The color palette is based on calm tones from milk to dark chocolate. The basis is natural materials: wool, cotton, cashmere blend and satin. The collection is completed with knitted vests and cardigans designed for the first cool evenings. A special touch are the branded milk cotton covers, inside of which a gift is hidden: an embroidered handkerchief with the Stelmy logo – a small symbol of warmth and attention to detail.
The Moonka brand presented miniature versions of the rings and earrings from its first collection, a new Ai drop. Decorations have become more concise, but retain the same character and inner strength. Cabochon is based on three variations: malachite in lemon gold, carnelian in pink and kyanite with rhodium plating. The contrast of smooth stones and metal geometry creates the perfect balance of lightness and durability. Rings and earrings can be worn separately or together with jewelry from the first Ai, depending on their differences in shape and tone. The sale is already available online and at the Moonka showroom on Bolshoi Kharitonyevsky Road.
Furla once again shows how femininity, color and impeccable craftsmanship can be brought together with its autumn/winter collection. The focus is on two models that have become symbols of the brand’s DNA: Furla Sfera Soft and Furla Iride. The first bag has smooth lines and a flawless silhouette, created for those who value the aesthetics of comfort. The collection is presented in patent leather with a “crumpled paper” effect, rhinestones and in classic ruby and black tones. But the second represents the play of light; A model with an elegant belt-shaped buckle and a metallic leather effect is offered in vanilla, sakura and powder pink colors. Both bags easily adapt to any style and remind us that true elegance is hidden in the details.
Pet Subject and RomaUvarovDesign presented the first collection in Russia combining images for dogs and their owners. Inspired by the spirit of English heritage, the capsule combines irony, the aesthetics of urban hedonism and the signature art of Roman Uvarov. Here fashion for pets and humans comes in harmony – the walk turns into a catwalk and each couple looks like a perfectly tailored duo.
The collection includes trench coats, cardigans, fur coats, handmade collars and collars. Waxed cotton, wool boucle, vintage eco-fur and upcycled yarn are used; Everything has been carefully thought out for the comfort and freedom of movement of pets. The elements form paired bows and highlight the emotional bond between human and animal. As Roman Uvarov said, “we must live comfortably, beautifully and wildly, both for ourselves and for our pets.” The collection will be available starting October 22.
The brand “Furs Ekaterina” welcomes winter with special elegance – a collection of accessories and gifts is presented for the New Year, in which every detail is imbued with the spirit of the holiday. Shirts, shawls, capes, hats, gloves and bags made of sable, mink, marten, arctic fox and fox are dense, shiny and durable in the best traditions of Russian fur.
The new collection combines classics and boldness: down jackets made of sheared mink, vests made of lamb fur, scarves and hats in pastel and bright shades from lemon to fuchsia. For city holidays, the brand offers mink products in noble colors such as milky, graphite, purple. The capsule is completed with interior accessories such as fur blankets, pillows and dolls, which will make an ideal winter gift. The face of the holiday campaign was actress and producer Anna Alexandrova.
