Its black and white marble statues provided the backdrop to the unveiling of Russian fashion designer Alena Akhmadullina's colourful Spring-Summer 2020 collection.
The clothing range takes inspiration from Russian artist Mikhail Vrubel's painting The Swan Princess, combining traditional Russian motifs with modern fashion trends.
Swans and traditional Russian headdresses, or kokoshniks, feature in the collection.
Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week Russia will run in Moscow until Saturday (October 19) featuring 114 designers.
