Whenever the Russian people, even people from other countries, remember how the fashion was during the height of the cold war in the old Soviet Union time, they can only say it was shocking as the only color they saw was green and gray.

Today’s Russia is a much brighter horizon in the field of high fashion and things this past year were literally shining example of how much things have changed with the woman’s fashions being dominated by various flashy and shimmering silver and other colors of various tough cotton and silk fabrics.

Some designers have leaned towards the romantic side of life with styles and designs that literally seem like they are going to ooze from the body and just flow and beg to be seen. Much like you might expect at a Paris fashion show.

The past few years, the fashion continues to progress as designers create different lovely accessories that match the equally lovely dresses, blouses, coats, and skirts. The dominant colors of earthy tones of blue and brown make it more appealing. Fashion shows are never complete without the display of knitted wears, mostly made of cashmere, cotton, and wool.

When it comes to elegance, Russian fashion is noticeable with its comfortable yet hippy style, with a little touch of adventure in each style. You will see how, even in semi loose clothes, that shows the curves and form of the woman wearing it but not too exposed, the sensuality is still there as she remained mysterious in the style of clothing. Such style made the Russian fashion really a world-class, especially now that their designs and styles are modernized.

If you have seen the Russian fashion trends as shown and displayed this year, you probably noticed how the designers were able to make styles that resemble the west coast punk of the United States with the chic of the east coast with a little touch of a corporate theme. The styles are mostly loose, flowing lines at the bottom, and earthy in colors. No wonder it gained the attraction of women throughout the world as such styles can fit well on any body type.

All in all it has been a rather unique and visually enriched year in Russian fashion and the trend shows every sign of continuing to turn heads into the year 2010 so there is a good chance that there will be many suprizes in store for the fashion buying public in Moscow and beyond with plenty of rich colors and flash to appease the modern woman and yet enough tradition to attract and excite the traditionalists and enough in between the two to keep everyone happy and ready to see the next big thing.

The trend used to be that the designers in Russia followed the rest of the world and pretty much copied the trends. Lately, it has been the designers in Russia that have been setting standards that the rest of the world has to strive to live up to and the consumer is the ultimate winner in that competition.
