Global runway. Fashion weeks on all continents

There is a noticeable shift in the spheres of influence in the global fashion industry now towards the BRICS countries, which are increasingly dictating trends and attracting the attention of leading designers and brands. This applies to fashion weeks and various events which not only form global trends but also reflect local characteristics. In Asia, fashion festivals stand out for their bold experiments with shapes and textures, reflecting the dynamic cultural scene and technological advancement of region. Asian fashion weeks can be called hubs of innovation and creativity. African designers attract attention with their vibrant prints and bold colors, often inspired by local crafts and traditions. In Latin America, fashion weeks focus on organic materials and sustainable design, supporting local production and artisans. With the rise of virtual runway shows, 3D design and fashion metaverses, brands are looking towards adjustment to changes in consumer behavior and new challenges of time. Increasing attention is being paid not only to how clothes look but also how they are made, to environmental impact and social responsibility. These changes are transforming both the content and format of fashion weeks, making them more accessible and global, yet also emphasizing uniqueness of each region.
