We are doing our best, we are creating, we are working on all cylinders to make our country fashionable and cultivate good taste in all our people.

Alexander Bichin, Aizel

I think that events like The Best Luxury Stores ceremony are beneficial for the whole industry. It’s great that we now have the Russian Buyers Union. It brings us all together to share ideas, to interact and to understand what challenges there are and what we should aim for.

Konstantin Andrikopulos, Bosco Di Ciliegi

A professional award for buyers is the biggest achievement because it proves that you’ve made it. To be recognized by professionals is the best reward.

Alexander Terekhov

Events like this are very advantageous for designers to attend because it’s a possibility to meet buyers who order from them and thus to advance commercially as well as artistically.

Victoria Andreyanova

I see it as an extremely helpful event for us as designers and manufacturers of clothes: the importance of feedback from buyers can’t be overestimated.
