Russia'S Fashion Week Was Forced To Shorten Its Agenda Under The Financial Crisis.

Following the New York fashion week, Paris fashion week and Milan fashion week, this week's Moscow fashion week announced that the 2009/2010 autumn / winter fashion week will be shortened. The Russian fashion week (RFW) will be opened from March 29, 2009 to April 4th in the Great Hall of the world trade center, Moscow. This is the most famous fashion event in Eastern Europe. The Russian fashion week will hold about 50 fashion shows for the best designers from Russia and Ukraine. There are also fashion shows for designers in France, Italy and Spain. Alexander Shumsky, head of Russia fashion week, said that 65-75 fashion shows were held at the height of Russian fashion week, but this year, fewer participants. Just like Paris and Milan, many designers are more willing to make statements than complete fashion shows. The fashion market is declining, so brands and designers have to cut costs. 48 fashion shows will be held in the upcoming Russian fashion week, which marks a 20% reduction over the October 2008 fashion week. But there is good news that all heavyweight Russian fashion designers will still appear on the stage of this year's Russian fashion week.
