Moscow – As the curtains close on Paris Fashion Week, Moscow will become the global fashion hub as it hosts the BRICS+ Fashion Summit, bringing together industry leaders from the Middle East and a record 100 countries. Taking place from October 3rd to 5th, the Summit will see delegates from the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, and other nations in the region participate in a dynamic Business Program focused on key industry trends such as sustainability, innovation, and expanding exports into new international markets.
