VERONIKA KALNEUS presented a shiny and futuristic set of clothing, with models coming out with brightly-colored garbage bags in their hands.

      In fact, the collection has a theme of recycling and sustainability. Long raincoats and shimmery dresses were the primary feature of this first collection, which ended with a model coming out, phoenix-like, out of a futuristic garbage compactor. The voiceover informed us that Russia produces over 5 bln. tonnes of garbage annually, and made us think about the implications of the fashion production process as a whole.
