The BRICS+ Fashion Summit commenced on September 28, 2026, in Moscow, Russia. Held at the Zaryadye Concert Hall as part of the seventh Moscow Fashion Week, the three-day event brings together industry professionals from over 60 countries.

The summit focuses on the growing influence of rapidly developing economies and the transition toward a “multi-centered” fashion system. This shift explores how emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America contribute to a more diverse global industry, challenging the traditional dominance of fashion capitals like Paris or Milan.

Key technical and thematic discussions include the integration of artificial intelligence and neural networks in the creative process, the ethical implications of new technologies, wearable technology, online markets, and the development of local brands and cultural heritage. 

Individual participants continue to use the forum for strategic purposes. Tanzanian designer and Swahili Fashion Week founder Mustafa Hassanali is representing Tanzania to showcase the nation’s creative potential and utilize fashion as a tool for cultural diplomacy, seeking to build commercial partnerships and economic opportunities for local entrepreneurs.
