Saint Tokyo
Yuri Pitenen is the designer behind the collection Saint Tokyo, which focuses on is a mixing Asian and European cultural riffs. To that point, the brand’s name makes complete sense – it is a combination of where he is currently based (St. Petersburg) and the place where he spends much of his time, Tokyo. This season, Pitenen’s streetwear-heavy collection mixed charming floral prints with tough touches of leather.

Sorry I’m Not
Designer Nikita Moiseenko founded the label in 2013 in Moscow, and has been creating feminine, somewhat cheeky pieces ever since. This season, the standout pieces were borrowed from the boys–as in the case of a see-through plastic trench or this oversized button up shirt with a clever sheer mesh panel.

KseniaSeraya
Since launching in 2013, the Moscow-based designer Ksenia Seraya has focused on knitwear. This season, she offered a muted palette with pops of red, and chic silhouettes. A favorite design was a knit dress with a deep scoop at the back as well as a classic knit slip dress.
