Russian Fashion Rules

Though the term “fashion” is associated with lots of money - and it is rather expensive to be fashionable - many designers have pointed out that Russians are very stylish. And not only rich people look smart and fashionable: many Russians choose good clothes, appropriate to their personal style. This promises a radiant future for this sphere of Russia’s social life.
In fact, fashion in Russia, as well as many other things, lags behind that of the West. The lag is about 10-15 years. This is true not of global fashion trends (since that would be impossible), but about fashion culture in general. Today’s Russia is living through the same period that, for example, Spain passed through 10 years ago. Then it was popular to wear clothes with massive labels stamped on the chest, which declared the wearers allegiance to a big fashion name. Fortunately, this period has largely played out in Russia, and now wearing small, inconspicuous labels is preferable.
