The brand new Gosha Rubchinskiy Fall/Winter 2018 collection pays a homage to the history of Russia. The seasonal range takes on the name 'Gudbay, America,' inspired by Nautilus Pompolius' song from the late 80s. It was an 'answer to the Soviet collapse,' expressed the designer, so it was another nod to the entire overarching patriotic theme. He explains his personal connection to the song, as his thought of America was merely an illusion, so the show closed with him letting go of several thoughts and concepts.
The Gosha Rubchinskiy Fall/Winter 2018 collection is comprised of seasonally appropriate pieces including crewneck sweaters, patchwork denim, long-sleeve shirts, bomber jackets, suits, track suits and button-up shirts. The entire collection is available on the 032c website.
