Biggest Challenge Sanctions logistics (fabric sourcing complexity, payment restrictions) creating costs competitors don't face
Market Size Russian fashion sector with 500,000+ social following and 50+ international retailers across Europe and Asia
Timing Factor International validation via Harvey Nichols and Milan Fashion Week before geopolitical isolation potentially deepens
Unique Advantage Post-Soviet youth culture authenticity that Western narratives misunderstand as austere throwbacks or oligarch stereotypes
