EXPATS, a newly established fashion collective of Russian and American fashion designers founded by Stephan Rabimov, award-winning fashion editor and publisher, has premiered its S/S 2020 debut collection of 25 distinct looks on October 18th, 2019 during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia, the largest fashion week in Eastern Europe.
Each half of the collection this season was designed and produced in the USA and Russia respectively. EXPATS is synonymous with the notion of fashion diplomacy: Respecting craftsmanship traditions as well as cultural legacies of each country, EXPATS seeks to create one-of-kind garments that inform and inspire a deeper creative connection between the two nations.
