This season, for the first time, Mercedes-Benz presents Emma Bruschi. This showcase during MBFW Russia is part of Bruschi’s grant, having been recognized by Mercedes-Benz and Fashion Open Studio for her sustainable practice as the best in the show during the mentorship programme at the 35th International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion Accessories in Hyères. Bruschi also won the Chanel Métiers d’art 19M Prize. Fascinated by the people, flora and, fauna of agricultural communities, Bruschi’s “Almanach” collection looked for inspiration toward the farmers of the French Savoyard region, and their yearly almanac. Filmmaker Roddy Ziebell and photographer Julien Boudet bring Bruschi’s story to life through their distinctive creative lens.
