Diesel will open 30 stores in Russia by 2014 after the Italian clothing designer closed local outlets last year because of the credit crunch, said Alla Fentisova, brand manager for Diesel at local franchisee Li-Lu. Kommersant reported.
The Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney fashion houses that are part of PPR’s Gucci Group are in talks with Russia’s Bosco di Ciliegi about opening boutiques in Moscow after closing them in the beginning of 2009, Bosco chairman Mikhail Kusnirovich said, the newspaper reported.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
