Chistova & Endourova at Russian Fashion Week March 2006

Chistova & Endourova showed at Russian Fashion Week in March 2006, in the designer showcase linked above. The record holds two runway photographs of the show, pictured by Maria Valentino, Firstview, and provided by Russian Fashion Week.

The label is one of the March 2006 bill's partnerships — two designers under one name — and it is also one of the season's two-record names: alongside this main collection record, the duo's men's collection has its own page in this guide, linked from this record.

Two Collections in One Season

Showing a main collection and a separate men's collection in the same season is a statement of range, and Russian Fashion Week's programme honoured it with two billings. The two records divide the work cleanly: this page holds the main show's photographs, and the men's collection page holds its own three. Together they give Chistova & Endourova the fullest presence of any name in this part of the March 2006 guide — five runway photographs across the two records.

A partnership's name on a bill compresses a working method into a line of type: two designers, one label, collections agreed between them before they ever reach a runway. The March 2006 programme's trust in that method is visible in the double billing itself — a main collection and a men's collection in a single season is a large amount of work to hang on one name, and the event gave it two slots. This page and the men's record together hold the five photographs that document how the partnership used them.
