International Digital Fashion Week available exclusively on FNL Network has make it
possible for designers from all around the world to show their collections in a time where in-
person fashion shows are not safe and being canceled. International Digital Fashion Week
features talented designers such as Valentin Yudashkin, Amato Couture, Marc Cain, SAJAS,
Nizie, Brand Dongak, ASPARA, and many more. These designers have used their creative
minds to make fashion films that allow us all to have a VIP front row seat to their shows.
From Russia, Valentin Yudashkin used Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky as his inspiration for
his SS21 collection. Because the collection was done remotely, Yudashkin had the brilliant idea
of using fabrics from past seasons so that he knew the feel and look of them before beginning the
design process. You’ll see elegant organza, silk, cotton, taffeta, and gabardine used throughout.
Yudashkin did an amazing job in incorporating a multitude of silhouettes while still
keeping the collection cohesive. He played on masculine and feminine styles to create a show
that appeals to everyone. Whether you are looking for high-waisted wide leg pants and an
oversized blazer, or a delicate gown, Valentin Yudashkin Spring/Summer 2021 has something
that is perfectly tailored to you and your lifestyle.
Astra inclinant, sed non obligant-- or “The stars incline us, they do not bind us.” -- was
the theme for the Amato Couture show. This quote was artistically represented through the use
of gauze covering the model’s faces, some of which were veiled with stars. The avant-garde
looks along with the dramatic movement of the models did a flawless job of creating a story that
showed freewill.
Filipino designer Furne One of Amato Couture created extravagant looks using lace and
bead appliques. He does an exceptional job at contrasting drama and beauty with each gown by
mixing spider, lizard, and horn accessories with feminine staples such as pearls and feathers.
This couture show was perfectly done.
Katja Foos of german luxury company Marc Cain used her SS21 collection to take us on
a journey and let us know that the sky is the limit. She takes us from meadows of flowers, to
exotic jungles, and then up into the clouds by giving us looks that include magnificent florals,
classic animal prints, and sophisticated monochromatic pieces. The Marc Cain spring/summer
2021 collection showed us how to be powerful and confident with the way that we dress.
The Saudi Arabian fashion brand SAJAS showcased on International Digital Fashion
Week to show their very first couture show. The collection was named Origin after the Al-Ahsa
region where their headquarters is located. Designer Saha Al-Youssef created innovative looks
by taking classic silhouettes and colors, and making them her own. By utilizing dramatic cuts
and padding she gives edge to traditional styles and refines the looks with gorgeous silver
jewelry and elegant handbags.
Crimean Tatar Nizie Emirshah of the fashion brand NIZIE showed a cohesive collection
where the looks complimented each other perfectly and the attention to detail was apparent. She
used the same pattern in multiple looks to create a show with a clear vision. My favorite detail
was the skirt that had an inseam that matched the jacket of the outfit.
Emirshah created edgy street wear looks that utilized the latest fashion trends in a unique
way. She played on the blazer trend by designing a cropped blazer with cutouts, and a one-sided
asymmetrical blazer. Nizie Emirshah is a designer who thinks differently and makes amazing
fashion because of it.
Brand Dongak from the Republic of Tyra showed both men’s and women’s looks in their
video for International Digital Fashion Week. The collection was sophisticated yet fresh. The
video told a story of nomadic tribes and how they left costumes, legends, and myths that have
been passed down from generation to generation and have impacted modern clothing. The looks
are beautifully done to represent the cultural significance of this.
ASPARA from Taraz, Kazakhstan used timeless black and white fabric to create classic
pieces. The outfits were cutting-edge with the use of original features such as the top that
transforms from a tie around the neck to a flowing maxi. Aspects like the boxy jackets and
corsets create the perfect balance between streetwear and sophisticated designs. This is
definitely a show to watch.
International Digital Fashion Week has allowed designers from all over the world to
show off their latest collections in one place which has lead fashion lovers everywhere to
discover new brands and designs. International Digital Fashion Week, along with the talented
designers involved, has changed the game for fashion and will continue to be a key part in

The second season of International Digital Fashion Week is planned to premiere
on February 25, 2021. If you are a designer and interested in showing with
