Masterpeace has created a series of shoppers with the Granny's retirement support project
From now on, orders in the online store of the Russian brand Masterpeace will be delivered to customers in eco-friendly shoppers. They were created in collaboration with the Granny's project, in which retirees from different cities of the country knit products from Peruvian wool. This time, they were asked to expand the boundaries of creativity and hand-sew scraps of fabrics left over from the production of Masterpeace collections. The designer of the brand Evgeniya Linovich often uses the patchwork technique in order to reduce the amount of material residues and thus not to litter the environment.

WOS opened its first store in Moscow
The Russian brand WOS, founded by designer Andrey Artemov, has opened its first store in Moscow. It is located on Strastnoy Boulevard next to the Salyut bike cafe. On this occasion, the establishment has a breakfast called WOS, which consists of boiled sausages, soft-boiled eggs, Druzhba cheese and a glass of champagne.
Architect Peter Yushin worked on the project of the store itself, who, recalling his favorite sanatoriums in Abkhazia and the Crimea, added white tiles, wood and aluminum to the interior. “Modules, on which things and accessories were laid out, were covered with white tiles. A working panel with a cash register was decorated with wood sheathing, which was deliberately turned "facing" the windows so that it could be viewed from the street. One of the large windows will eventually be hung with tulle on Soviet rings - another important WOS code that is often found in the brand's collections,”Andrey Artyomov says about the store.
Previously, the brand's items were sold in TSUM and Tsvetnoy department store, as well as in an online store launched in 2019 and delivering WOS collections around the world.
