In its daily work in all areas of activity, World Trade Center of Moscow also supports the principles of sustainability and fair business conduct.

At the opening ceremony Fitria Wibowo-Tavares noted: “The undertaking to introduce Indonesian designers to Moscow has been long in the making. As an Indonesian living in Moscow, I generally find myself in the midst of beautifully dressed women looking impeccable and fashionable no matter the season, trends or style. It is no surprise that women in Russia have always dressed handsomely, as exemplified by traditional and past fashion one can now observe in museums and books. It is as if good taste is passed down and maintained through generations. That is why as part of Independence Day celebration this year commemorated every August 17, the Embassy of Indonesia decided to introduce designer Andrie Basuki who’s fashion takes inspiration from classic and traditional Indonesian styles giving it a today’s trends”.

Andrie Basuki established his fashion house in 2018 and officially launched his brand in 2019. Presented today for the first time in Moscow, the designer's new collection was specially created in the colors of the national flag of Indonesia. Fashionable images were complemented by shoes from the leading Indonesian manufacturer Buccheri. The company was founded in 1980 and is famous for its stylish and comfortable handmade shoes. “Andrie Basuki and Buccheri are the perfect illustration of modern Indonesian design that takes inspiration from the and respects tradition while giving contemporary forms to it”, - Fitria Wibowo-Tavares said.
