Top 10 Gen Z Looks from Moscow Fashion Week

Pop culture is increasingly showing signs of fashion fatigue that has emerged from the globalization era. Zoomers on Instagram are actively creating new aesthetic "cores," scouring thrift stores for unique vintage finds, and seeking out emerging brands from unexpected countries and locations. What began as a youth-driven trend of discovering hidden gems is now being embraced by celebrities, influencers, and stylists alike. We, too, have joined in on this trend and decided to explore unique collections from Moscow catwalk.

We have seen 90 shows of Moscow Fashion Week and the conclusion is clear – Russian and international designers, who presented their collections in Moscow, set trends, attract the attention of the fashion community and at the same time inspire different generations to think outside the box when it comes to fashion. Here's our selection of looks that will fit perfectly into the wardrobes of fashionistas, especially Gen Z.

Сapparel

If you appreciate understated grunge style, here's a stylish outfit idea for you. Сapparel has created a monochrome look featuring a long-sleeve top with dropped shoulders, emphasizing elegance even with a daring aesthetic. The rebellious mood is conveyed through daring lacing along the thigh. Complete the look with chunky jewelry to perfectly accentuate the outfit's mood.

Ante Kovac

The leather jacket is a must-have for the cooler seasons. Ante Kovac advises steering clear of basic styles; instead, the brand suggests opting for textured leather and bright colors. Complete the outfit with wide jeans featuring unique details, such as a double waistband, distressed edges, vintage scuffs, or asymmetrically placed pockets. This will create a vibrant and ultra-stylish outfit composed of pieces that combine perfectly.

Post Ironic

Post Ironic has created a perfect outfit for channeling the biker's girlfriend vibe. Wear a daring dress made of translucent fabric and lace, which will get your lover's heart racing. And be sure to top it off with a bomber jacket – preferably one with a glossy finish! Don't forget the details, add gaiters, high socks, and, of course, grunge-inspired jewelry to truly nail the aesthetic.

Vsevolod Glebov, Institute of Business and Design (B&D)

If you're unsure what to wear to reflect your mood, no problem. Designer Vsevolod Glebov, who presented his collection at the Institute of Business and Design (B&D) show, suggests mixing different elements into one cohesive look. Think colored tights, a bright patterned top, a relaxed bomber jacket, and a mini plaid skirt with intentionally frayed fabric to emphasize the boldness of the ensemble. The key is to ensure that the shades complement each other – that's the secret to creating a complex, attention-grabbing outfit.

Loom Weaving

Loom Weaving, a brand from Armenia, features baggy jeans that are popular with the younger generation. However, the brand pairs them with a knitted top, which instantly emphasizes the waist without disrupting the proportions. To stay warm in such an outfit, add a cape with trendy fringe – it will instantly add dynamism to the look.

Lurvin

Romantic souls, rejoice! The designers at Moscow Fashion Week certainly have you covered. For those who appreciate naivety, elegance, and spontaneity in outfits, Lurvin's stylization idea will definitely suit: a baby-doll dress, a style particularly loved by Jane Birkin and Twiggy, paired with a hybrid jacket. Outerwear made from different materials has been one of the most fashionable solutions of the last couple of years, so feel free to throw it on over a cute dress.

Masterpeace

The much-discussed moto boho style is trending right now. But it's not always about the predictable mix of light, ruffled fabrics and biker boots – that combination can seem boring. Masterpeace demonstrated that the pairing of bohemian chic and racing aesthetics can be diverse. The brand suggested combining a mesh dress with cowboy boots. But the key element was the brightly colored, naive patches on the translucent maxi dress, which instantly makes the look more playful.

Rishi

The modern young generation, more than anyone, supports conscious consumption, even in fashion, particularly technological clothing made from recycled materials. In the era of greenwashing, upcycling has become a stylish trend, not only giving products a second life but also customizing them. And this is another plus for zoomers. The Rishi brand specializes in this very thing. At Moscow Fashion Week, the brand presented a seemingly simple but effective look consisting of a trendy asymmetrical top with chaotic cutouts and a maxi skirt sewn from different denim pieces. Useful, stylish, and unique.
