EBAY and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week have launched exclusive collection sales online, right from a catwalk.

 eBay, being a global leader of Internet trade and the world largest platform for fashion outfits sales, footwear, accessories and make-up, launches an unique project in partnership with Mercedes- Benz Fashion Week Russia which is held in Moscow from 25th till 31st of October, 2013.

Within this cooperation, eBay , being an official partner to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia, suggested  13 Russian designers to sell their outfits from new collection right from a runway using an app eBay Moda at www.ebay.com. There are several ways of buying your favorite pattern. The first and the easiest way is to buy it using mobile application eBay Fashion, no matter where you are at this actual moment: you can be outside, in the car or in the café. If you have spare time and you are in front of your notebook you can easily buy it online atwww.mercedesbenzfashionweek.ru, by choosing the pattern and follow to special page onwww.ebay.com.

Vladimir Dolgov, eBay Russia General Director, says about the project: “XXI is a century of mobile technologies, lack of time and money expenditure. Modern man tends to be at many places simultaneously and be up-to-date. It’s not enough nowadays to be aware of new trends, it’s really important to go beyond. Coming to Russia in 2012, we had set a goal of becoming such a resource where consumers can easily find any specialties in fashion area; the resource allows to follow all new trends and to be the first to buy a collection which is not even set for sales.  And we can achieve it only by cooperation with fashion leaders such as Mercedes- Benz Fashion Week Russia".

An upcoming season we would like to give an opportunity to buy the outfits online during the show - via eBay. The perspectives for designers who are able to meet consumers’ interests are really high.”

The collection of these Russian designers are offered for sale:

Alena Akhmadulina  designer: “This project is unique for Russian retailers; so  we have prepared 5 models in our identity specially to it – that is a hosiery with prints from “Zolotoy Petushok fairytales”.
