During the Museums Forum 2025 at the Museum of the Future in Dubai, Lunaria Limited, in collaboration with the Museum of Russian Art, is unveiling “MOMENT of ART” — a boundary-defying project that merges Armenian craftsmanship, visual art, and fashion into one immersive experience.
The “MOMENT of ART” capsule collection, envisioned by designer Alena Konnova, reimagines two masterworks from the museum’s archives — “Night Landscape” by Solomon Nikritin and “Storm in Altai” by Alexander Dreshin — as contemporary fashion statements. Using sheer organza, the garments reinterpret the tone, movement, and emotion of the original artworks, bringing them to life through form and texture.
Each piece captures the rhythm and dynamism of the original compositions, turning still paintings into garments that seem to move with light and air.
“Fashion, much like art, exists as a timeless dialogue,” said Mareta Gevorkyan, Founder of Lunaria Limited. “It creates a space where epochs, places, and emotions converge, allowing beauty to be rediscovered as a universal language that transcends all boundaries. I am proud that our team has created a project that reflects my vision and values, and that this collaboration with our country’s leading museums embodies the spirit of cultural unity and creativity that define us.”
The collection is the result of months of study and over 400 hours of intricate craftsmanship, merging museum curation with couture methodology. This marks the first international presentation of its kind — a reflection of Lunaria Limited’s dedication to defining modern Armenian minimalism as both an aesthetic and a philosophy rooted in authenticity, heritage, and artistic clarity.
Each garment speaks to the dialogue between legacy and modernity, where structure evolves into expression.
Marina Manucharyan, Director of the Museum of Russian Art, added: “For the first time, Armenia will take part as an official participant in the Museums Forum in Dubai. It is a great honor to present this project in its contemporary interpretation. We are pleased to collaborate with brands for whom art and Armenia are an integral part of their philosophy.”
To complement the fashion showcase, Lunaria Limited and the Museum of Russian Art have created a sensory installation where fabric, light, and visual art converge. Visitors are invited to experience art not as static exhibition pieces, but as a living conversation between time, culture, and human creativity.
Zara Hamazaspyan, CEO of Lunaria Limited, said: “The philosophy of our company is to expand boundaries and discover new forms of expression. Just as fabric dictates form, art and fashion both create a language that speaks to audiences across the world. We are proud to showcase Armenia through talent, creativity, and innovative approaches.”
The “MOMENT of ART” exhibition will run from 12–14 November 2025 at the Museum of the Future, Dubai.
