Acclaimed designer and photographer Gosha Rubchinskiy collaborated with Dover Street Market for a series of sneakers and clothing that honors a theme centered around 1990s Russia.
The pieces are said to be influenced by subculture within the country, making for a street style collection that makes use of unconventional designs. All of the shoes were made in collaboration with Vans, with styles utilizing the brand's celebrated 'Half Cab' model.
Clothing and accessories within the line include sweaters, crew neck t-shirts, scarves, belts, denim jackets, jeans, socks, hats, suspenders, hoodies, sweatpants and button-down long sleeves. Most of the looks are made to be oversized. Staying true to the 1990s Russia inspiration, the collection makes use of minimalist graphic prints in its language. Colors vary throughout, with bright yellows and flame-inspired camouflage prints featured on a number of pieces.
