The main character of the first day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia was SlavaZaitsev, who is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his creative work this spring. The Week started with a great fashion show 'Associations'. The legendary designer, who actually started contemporary Russian fashion, received congratulations from the guests and participants of the Week and from his pupils, who dedicated their works to their beloved teacher. Symbolically, at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia all three generations of the Zaitsev dynasty performed - on the 25th of MarchYegorZaitsev presented his new collection, and on the 24th was the début of Vyacheslav Zaitsev's granddaugher,MarusyaZaitseva.
One can be certain that young talented designers have a brilliant future by simply looking at the example of the British brand BASHARATYANV, which débuted at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia just last season. Veronika Basharatyan, not so long ago thought to be a novice in the fashion scene, recently made herself known so confidently that she attracted the attention of the biggest world stars - the guest of her show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia fall-winter 2012-2013 was Italian film diva and style icon OrnellaMuti. The actress came to Moscow in order to be among the first ones to see the collection by Veronika, who she met in Milan. There were a lot of gifted débutantes announced in the programme of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia, including DIMANEU - the winner of the first season of the Russian version of 'Project Runway'. Young designers performed both in the framework of separate shows and presentations and in collective shows. Apart from that, the audience could get acquainted with new Belarus fashion at the gala show BelarusFashionWeek.

So these last days I  visited lots of fashion shows, it was really awesome because I love this atmosphere of runway and models walking on it!Also there were so many stylish people,it is an amazing time for inspiration)
But honestly on some shows I was a little bit shocked and I hadn't knew was it better for me to cry or to laugh!Of course I am not the best critic but this is just my own opinion.Further,I'd like to mention the terrible organisation!I am not fastidious and I am kinda calm but some people did really make me angry and made me raice my voice.But all in all I am so excited and it is a great honour for me to be there)


Tomorrow will be the last day but I am not sure that I can go  that's why now I 'd like to show you some photos of the shows that are worth mentioning)
