Russian Designers Boost Clothing Exports to Western Markets

摘要

Leading russian clothing designers are developing plans to start significant volumes of domestically produced exports to Western markets during the next several years, potentially boosting demand for upstream suppliers based in the country. Alexander Serafimov, one of Russia's leading fashion designers, claimed particular attention will be on increasing exports to the EU and the US, because of the potential to generate larger profit margins than in Asia. That said, regarding the knitwear segment, domestic design-driven export efforts will focus efforts on the Asia Pacific region, where the demand for Russian knitwear has always been high.
