P ROGRAM RDP is the creative marketing program of contests, showrooms, publishing projects, international exhibitions, design education dedicated to the promotion of the emerging Russian brands and designers. We are inspired by the biggest multicultural project in history - annual guest performances of Russian artists, musicians and architects abroad known as the “Russian Seasons” by Sergei Diaghilev which played a significant role in popularization of Russian culture in Europe and promoted introduction of fashion for everything Russian at the beginning of 20th century. In our work we try to make focus less on viewing the subject as an academic topic,

but more on the presentation and experience aspect. We believe that the use of more effective marketing strategies with wide network of professional contacts or the organization of independent design initiatives abroad could become a tool for business promotion enhancing the status of Russian design without any “myth”. We united our efforts to develop an innovative marketing program. Results: emerging talents in Russian design, their further promotion, effective work with national and international media, publication of design books to open our designers to European and Asian market. RDP is a showcase for Russian Creativity abroad.
