The fashion world is about to get its compass recalibrated as the BRICS+ Fashion Summit prepares to unfold in Moscow's Zaryadye Park from August 28-30. This isn't just another catwalk parade - imagine if Da Vinci's workshop collided with a Silicon Valley incubator, and you'll begin to grasp the tectonic plates shifting beneath the industry's stilettos.
