This year Sari Spazio is celebrating its 25th anniversary, which will draw additional attention to the collective presentation of Russian designers. As part of the #OpenRussianFashion program, on September 22, Sari Spazio will host an open day for the press and specialists with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the National Fashion Chamber of Italy (Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana), the Assomoda Fashion Agents and Distributors Association, as well as Russian designers.
“Russian fashion houses have been participating in professional events in Milan, Paris and New York for a long time, working directly with showrooms. A certain success of Russian designers in the past few years has shown that Russia can create a product that is interesting on international markets,”says Viktor Evtukhov, State Secretary, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, in charge of light industry. “That is why we are initiating the #OpenRussianFashion program to collectively represent Russian designers and manufacturers at major international venues. This is the first such experience, consolidating the efforts of individual market participants for a full-fledged international positioning not only of their products, but also of the country. The already planned events in Milan and Beijing will help test Russian manufacturers for compliance with international requirements. Today there is a lot of talk about import substitution, including in the field of light industry. But if Russian clothing can compete abroad, the process of import substitution within Russia will be easy and natural. By supporting collective participation abroad, #OpenRussianFashion can give impetus to the development of designers in the domestic market."
The #OpenRussianFashion events will take place in Milan in September and Beijing in October. Negotiations are underway with international exhibitions in Paris, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dusseldorf and Florence.
