Sultanna Frantsuzova at Russian Fashion Week 2005

Sultanna Frantsuzova showed at Russian Fashion Week 2005, in the designer showcase linked above. Her record is a photograph record: three runway photographs of the 2005 collection, kept in the selection in which they were published.

Frantsuzova's record closes the 2005 showcase in this guide. The season's bill ran from the Moscow Fashion House of the Zaitsev family to designers who had arrived by way of philology degrees, regional festivals and independent ateliers, and her presentation stood in that company — one designer's collection on the national runway, documented by its photographs.

From 2005 to the March 2006 Showcase

Frantsuzova returned for the following season: Sultanna Frantsuzova stands on the Russian Fashion Week March 2006 designer list, and that record is linked from the March 2006 showcase built in this guide. Read with the other returning names — Arsenicum by Enton, Daria Razumikhina, Egor Zaitsev, Julia Dalakian and Elena Makashova among them — her two records show how a national fashion week builds continuity: the same designers, season after season, developing a collection at a time in front of the same audience.

With this page, the 2005 showcase in this guide is complete: every designer named for that season has a record, from Arsenicum by Enton at the head of the list to Frantsuzova here. Completeness changes how an archive can be used — a reader tracing one name across seasons, or comparing what the 2005 and March 2006 programmes held, can trust that an absence from these pages means an absence from the bill, not a gap in the building. Her three photographs close the 2005 set, and her March 2006 billing opens the next chapter of the same story.
