ONLY
The Russian label MERÉ, launched by graduates of the British Higher Design School, Maria Rafikova and Alexandra Talalay, leans on geometric basics and the energy of a modern city. Its collections emphasize a foundational wardrobe with clean, concise lines. Yet the designers also weave in contemporary touches, such as collarless jackets priced around 10,500 rubles.
A dress with a tail, priced at about 6,600 rubles, stands out as a versatile piece. It can be paired with a white basic T-shirt for a casual look, worn as a long jacket over trousers, or buttoned at the back to suit dress codes that aren’t overly formal.
YOU WANNA
The Russian label YOU WANNA was established in 2008 by sisters Yulia and Nigina. The different ages, personalities, and tastes of the founders echo through the brand’s lines. Production takes place in Moscow, allowing close oversight of quality and a consistent price policy. The brand offers multiple seasonal collections and refreshes its assortment with new items nearly every week.
The lineup ranges from contemporary statement pieces to reliable basic models. This season, YOU WANNA presents in both neutral and vibrant seasonal colors, making it easy to put together office-appropriate, relaxed trouser-suits. A notable option is a voluminous jacket-and-turquoise-trousers set priced around 13,300 rubles.
The brand also features essentials that suit office and everyday wear. For instance, a free-cut fuchsia shirt around 6,900 rubles or a black back-cut jacket priced near 12,900 rubles.
Ansel
Established in 2017 by artist and restaurateur Ekaterina Antsiborova, Ansel aims at appealing to creative individuals. The label emphasizes timeless pieces rather than following passing trends, ensuring items remain relevant across seasons. The wardrobe is designed to be versatile enough for both formal business settings and more relaxed looks, with the right accessories to pull the whole outfit together.
Collections favor calm, feminine silhouettes, reflecting the founder’s affinity for cage patterns, herringbone textures, and the iconic Chanel tweed. For autumn office trips, a checkered wool jacket around 25,500 rubles is a practical choice, offering versatility whether worn with a belt or without to alter the silhouette. A tweed outfit in a Paris-chic style includes a jacket around 34,900 rubles and skirts around 15,500 rubles.
GREEN
GREENk was founded in 2012 by Russian designer Ekaterina Troshina. Her approach blends current trends with a strong sense of character and timeless appeal. Some pieces from the initial collection remain core to the brand, illustrating a durable design philosophy. The label speaks to conscious shoppers who prefer buying fewer, higher-quality items intended to last years.
Her current lines mix basic neutrals with bold fashion statements, including emerald and lavender hues. This season, transformer jackets with waist lacing offer adjustable fit and a flattering silhouette, priced around 49,000 rubles.
For lovers of classic tailoring, the brand features fitted trouser suits priced at about 53,000 rubles per set, available not only in black and beige but also in vivid red.
WORKMAN
ELEAN marks Russia’s first ready-to-wear women’s tuxedo collection, founded in 2016 by sewing product engineer Elena Pisareva and her daughters Anna and Anastasia. The line uses only natural fabrics such as wool, silk, and cotton, with production all conducted in Russian facilities.
The creators envision a woman who can slip into a tuxedo, attend a business meeting, or join an evening event without changing the essence of her look. All items are kept in stock and offered in sizes 42 through 50, ensuring easy, immediate purchases. The brand positions itself as premium, reflected in its pricing. A four-piece tuxedo set with a double-breasted jacket, a collared vest, flared trousers, and a midi pencil skirt costs about 91,800 rubles, while a sheath dress with tuxedo-inspired elements is around 37,500 rubles.
All products in the range are designed to mix and match, making it straightforward to assemble cohesive outfits. There are no basic collection discounts, but limited-season capsules can offer up to 20% savings.
