On average, 30,000 people watched each video presentation from Moscow, while at peak times the number of simultaneous connections exceeded 50,000. The technical team was forced to restart the servers several times - the amount of connections exceeded the calculated digits more than twice. Moscow streams of young and famous designers are covered by media from Russia, Italy, the United Kingdom, the USA, India and other countries.
Due to the record number of views of the fashion streams from Moscow, the organizers decided to extend the virtual Fashion Week until April 6: broadcast will take place throughout the day, all video presentations of designers' new collections will be looped.
