Forum for New Russian
Fashion Industry
We spent the past year keeping on the pulse of the Russian fashion industry: shocked by filings for administration, excited by new startups, and busy collecting evidence supportive of the end of the recession. We've noticed that small and medium-sized enterprises have nearly depleted their reserves over the course of the last two years. That said, we have marketing analytics reports claiming that consumers are no longer able to save on clothing, which gives birth to "new demand". What were the companies that have managed in the past year to focus on growth and how? What's next? Will the end of the recession not be lost on small-sized enterprises? What are we to expect: the most challenging year ever or a gradual growth? Is the domestic e-commerce market still a good investment or just a bubble that nears its end? For how long the West will keep showing interest in the post-Soviet Russia?
These are among the many topics to be discussed at the Forum.
