Leonid Alexeev at Russian Fashion Week March 2006

Leonid Alexeev showed at Russian Fashion Week in March 2006, in the designer showcase linked above. His record opens this part of the guide, which continues the March 2006 showcase from the L names through to Zandra Rhodes. The record holds two runway photographs of the show, pictured by Maria Valentino, Firstview, and provided by Russian Fashion Week.

The March 2006 showcase ran to more than fifty designers, and its records are built in list order so the season can be read as it was billed. Alexeev's page stands at the head of this stretch of the programme, before Lo, Mainaim and the M names that follow.

Opening the Second Half of the Showcase

A long showcase divides naturally at its middle, and the names from Leonid Alexeev onward form the season's second half in this guide: returning designers from the 2005 bill — NB&Karavay, Olga Samoschenko, Romina and Sultanna Frantsuzova among them — stand in this stretch alongside first records and the closing guest billing of Zandra Rhodes. Alexeev's two photographs are the entry point to that half of the season, kept in the selection in which Russian Fashion Week published them.

Read in sequence, the pairs of photographs accumulate into the season's portrait: one venue, one Firstview photographer, and a national industry presenting its collections designer by designer. This record follows the same discipline as every other March 2006 page — the published views, the credit line, and the designer's place in the list.
