BRICS+ Fashion Summit opens in Moscow

The fourth BRICS+ Fashion Summit opened in Moscow, Russia, bringing together industry professionals from over 60 countries. Held at the Zaryadye Concert Hall as part of the seventh Moscow Fashion Week, the three-day event focuses on the growing influence of rapidly developing economies in shaping the global fashion landscape.

Key discussion topics include the integration of artificial intelligence in the creative process, the use of neural networks in design, and the ethical implications of new technologies. Other central themes involve online markets, wearable technology, jewelry, and the development of local brands and cultural heritage.

A major focus of the summit is the transition toward a “multi-centered” fashion system. Rather than traditional fashion capitals like Paris or Milan maintaining sole dominance, participants are exploring how emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are contributing to a more diverse and interconnected global industry.
