Less than a month remains until the start of the international industry exhibition «Interfabric-2026. Spring». On March 17–19, professionals from the textile and fashion industry will gather in Moscow at the «Crocus Expo» venue.

One of the key events of the business program will be a presentation by Ekaterina Kushtrimovich — founder of the strategic consulting agency Kloto and an international expert with over 15 years of experience.

Ekaterina will take part in the strategic session “Prospects of the Fashion Market 2026: The Fate of Local Brands in the Era of Import Substitution 2.0.” In an online format, she will discuss creating a comfortable and sustainable business environment for fashion companies and share methodologies for developing the creative direction in business. Participants will have the opportunity to ask the expert questions live.

Première Vision: Spring-Summer 2027 Season Under the Slogan OPEN

Ekaterina will share key insights from Première Vision — an exhibition that traditionally sets the direction for future seasons in the fashion industry. For the spring-summer 2027 season, experts note a general shift toward openness as a creative and professional position: open to joy, open to elsewhere, open to otherness.

In the language of collections, this means:

• more bold contrasts and “living” color;
• increased focus on tactile effects;
• layering in decor and prints.

The environmental agenda and sustainable development remain key topics in the industry. However, the eco-approach is ceasing to be a formality and is becoming part of the real work of brands. This concerns not only the transparency of material origins but also production processes — for example, dyeing, where increasing attention is paid to reducing water and energy consumption.
