Our location: Bucharest, Romania.
New York: 7 hours behind.
London: 2 hours behind.
Milan: 1 hour behind.
Moscow: 1 hour ahead!
Nobody likes to be behind, really, so Moscow looks like the place to go to from Bucharest, should you wish to be ahead.

It is now Fashion Week in Moscow, which means that an indescribable calling is ringing loudly in our ears and a magic force is making our fingers type very fast to write this article. Hop on the plane now or in the near future, and nota bene:
EAT
In Moscow, Vogue Cafe is the place to have your coffee and a small bite, ONLY if you are ready to be photographed, be seen and be admired. Managed by Moscow's top restaurateur, Arkady Novikov, and prettied up by Ann Bryan (fashion veteran and Ralph Lauren devotee), the cafe gives its tribute to fashion by exposing photographs by Cecil Beaton and David
Bailey. We loved the unique detail of having little wooden stools sit quietly by each table, their sole purpose being to serve as stands for the gorgeous handbags the fashionistas carry. So no hanging your Gucci on the corner of the chair and no sitting on the floor, either. How fab...
Vogue Cafe, Ulitsa Kuznetsky Most Lubyanka, Moscow, 011-7-095-923-1701

More EATING
Muscovite socialites and Rublëvka girls need their own nests. When they aren't at their weekend houses, you'll find them at Kutuzovsky Prospect, a Madison Avenue-style shopping strip that features Gucci, Prada, and Dolce&Gabbana boutiques—not to mention red-carpet-lined sidewalks. Above the Ligne Roset furniture showroom, find the newly opened Cafe Roset, which serves Mediterranean fusion food in an interior designed by Didier Gomez, the designer responsible for Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior interiors. We'll say no more.

FASHION
If you want to have a clue about Russian fashion, then know that Lena Makashova is the éminence grise of the Moscow fashion scene, having established her business in 1990. The 53-year-old, who holds degrees in design, economics, and business management, was on trend for spring, hitting on important New York looks like shirt dressing and a clean white palette.

Also, if you happen to attend fashion shows, put your radar on for the design duo Chistova & Endourova (get your mind out of the gutter and try not to think of TATU), who, just like TATU (oh, sorry, we said we’ll try not to think of them...), line their stage with fans and put out a steamy show starring teased-hair nymphets.


For all other Russian interests, you can check out the official museum websites, tourist guides, and other very serious sources. We’re just happy to whet your appetite.
