The emerging brand's show was memorable for dresses made of flowing fabrics in floral prints, as well as pantsuits with tunics-shirts in pastel colors and kimono suits in lavender shades.

In its collection Su.Su used such materials as cotton, linen, tencel and nettle, thanks to which the products turned out to be hypoallergenic, durable, well-circulating air and giving the skin a pleasant tactile sensation. The brand set a task to create simple, but at the same time high-quality and unusual clothes. The collection was dominated by natural colors, a shirt dress was the basis of the drop. The models also walked along the catwalk barefoot, thus the brand reinforced the idea of naturalness, unity with nature and practicality.
Alsu Gilmi (Kazan, Russia)
At the Modest Fashion Day, the brand presented the main summer collection, which included both basic and conceptual looks. According to the designer's concept, all items are independent, but at the same time they work perfectly in tandem. The designer believes that clothes should be concise and comfortable, not overloading the image, but subtly emphasizing it. The individual collection is made by layering fabrics, monochrome colors, as well as playful, but complex edges. Alsu Gilmi promotes the concept of expressive, versatile, modest clothing created from natural eco-friendly materials.
Eva Graffova (Saint Petersburg, Russia)

The designer used natural fabrics: chiffon, organza and silk knitwear brought from Italy. The models are complemented by a unique handmade embroidery made by the masters of the Fashion House of Valentin Yudashkin.
