A new Gosha Rubchinskiy line was recently unveiled, showing the Russian fashion designer's creations for the brand's Fall/Winter 2018 offerings.
The majority of the pieces tap vintage sportswear styles, with a variety of fleece staples, colorful tracksuits, and other classics featured. In addition to these styles are a few especially obscure ones, such as the half tank top tees that feature two completely different patterns and colorways on either side. While one side of the shirt has a typical t-shirt sleeve, the other side has it cut off, making it look like a muscle tank. The new Gosha Rubchinskiy line also features pants that are designed in a similar style, with different colors on either leg.
