Indian brands are all poised to embark on yet another illustrious journey within the realm of fashion. The renowned NBC brand and the exquisite Geisha Designs are all set to grace the illustrious stage of Moscow Fashion Week (MFW) with their latest collections. From March 1 to 8, 2024, this prestigious affair to be held in the heart of the Russian capital promises to showcase the unparalleled creative genius of over 120 designers hailing from diverse corners of the world, including India, Egypt, Indonesia, China, South Africa, and Tunisia.

Streamed live and covered by media in 50 countries, including Europe and North America, MFW typically draws in more than 70,000 spectators and 5 million digital viewers every season. Alongside runway shows, Moscow Fashion Week enamel a professional showroom viewed by over 300 boutiques from across Russia, various lectures, masterclasses, and a platform to exhibit and sell local brands.  The participation of Indian designers in Moscow fashion shows is not unprecedented.
