Sultanna Frantsuzova at Russian Fashion Week March 2006

Sultanna Frantsuzova 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. Her 2005 record is in this guide as well — it closed the 2005 showcase in its part of this guide.

Frantsuzova's return is one of the threads that tie the two seasons together. Read with the other returning names — Arsenicum by Enton, Daria Razumikhina, Egor Zaitsev and Julia Dalakian from the first part of the list, NB&Karavay, Olga Samoschenko and Romina from this part — her two records show how a national fashion week builds continuity.

From 2005 to the March 2006 Showcase

The same designers, season after season, developing a collection at a time in front of the same audience: that is the rhythm these paired records document. Frantsuzova's 2005 page holds three runway photographs; this March 2006 page holds two, and the link between the seasons runs through the designer showcases linked from this page.

Her March 2006 billing stands late in the S run of the programme, between Sudaryanto and Two Gun Towers — the point where the season's list begins its closing approach toward Yulia Nikolaeva and the final guest name, Zandra Rhodes.

With her March 2006 page, Frantsuzova's presence in this guide spans the full arc of the Russian Fashion Week story it tells: her 2005 record closed that showcase in its part of the guide, and her return here, a season later, is one of the proofs that the 2005 bill was not a one-season gathering but the base of a continuing programme. The two records, five photographs in all, are the durable form of that proof.
