D Logiinov Donatto at Russian Fashion Week October 2006

D Logiinov Donatto showed at Russian Fashion Week in October 2006, in the designer showcase linked above. The record holds five runway photographs of the show. The billing carries the name of Dmitry Loginov, whose Arsenicum by Enton label showed in the 2005 and March 2006 seasons; that earlier record is in this guide.

The record stands in the D run of the October 2006 programme, between Chistova Endourova and the season's designers list. The October edition was Russian Fashion Week's second Moscow season of 2006, following the March showcase whose records fill the earlier part of this guide.

A Second Billing for a Returning Designer

Designers change billing across seasons: a label name one year, a partnership or a personal name the next. The archive's job is to keep each billing exactly as the season printed it, and to keep the threads between them visible, so that a reader following one designer through the seasons is not misled by the change of name. Loginov's October 2006 appearance under the Donatto billing is one of the 2006 guide's examples of that pattern.

The five photographs are the record the season left of this billing — the looks that walked, in the selection in which they were published. They stand in the programme position the October season gave the presentation, in the same format as every other October record in this guide.

Spelling is not a pedantic concern in an archive of transliterated names; it is the index itself. A reader searching a season or this guide will type the spelling the programme used — Logiinov, with its doubled vowel, as the October season printed it — and a record filed under a tidied-up variant becomes a record that cannot be found. Keeping the season's spelling, in the billing and the page address, is what makes these five photographs retrievable as evidence of this season.
