Paris fashion week excludes Russian designer Valentin Yudashkin from official schedule

France’s fashion body, the Federation de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM), has excluded Russian designer Valentin Yudashkin from its official calendar this season.

Yudashkin was scheduled to host a digital presentation on March 8th, the final day of Paris Fashion Week, but was informed by FHCM president Ralph Toledano that his participation could not go ahead amid uncertainty as to his position on the war in Ukraine, reported AFP.
