Being a kid and a teenager I had always a thing for drawing on walls and floor. At some point my parents gave up and have never disturbed me from doing that. At least once a month a new painting had to appear on one of my bedroom's walls. After I have started my degree in London I have discovered a very exiting feeling that I am experiencing while holding a colour spray and using this as a part of the design for my trench coat. I wanted to continue experimenting with materials, which originally were made for the other purpose . I thought it will be fun to break the rules and draw something beautiful on my new pair of jeans. There was a lot of similar stuff going on in a punk-rock subculture and fashion, but I have tried to make the drawings look less "rebel" and more random and careless. The script on the jeans are actually the lyrics of one of my favourite tracks made by one russian rapper. We have actually sent the picture of the jeans to him and his reaction was v...

Photos,Kanekalon braids: Me Model, styling : Alina Location : London, Mayfield Lavender Fields This time I took the camera again and experienced a good nostalgia to the times when I used to do photoshoots. I was 14 and wasn't really sure what I was doing. I was just enjoying taking pictures of people and editing them in the Photoshop. The reason I stopped was because not all of my customers were photogenic and I hated the fact that I have to work with someone, who is not inspiring me for the good result. That's why photography for me is nothing but a hobby and it's very rare for me to take the camera and start making a photoshoot. Lavender fields have met us with a massive rain. Wearing flats and light clothes we were trying to hide ourselves under a small umbrella. After couple of minutes of waiting Alina showed her brave personality and said "fuck it, i'm gonna make it under the rain". That's how the rain drops got captured on some of our photos an...

Today I have received my pink kanekalon I have ordered couple of days ago from a very quirky cyber  looking website. Everyone is freaking out about this new trend with colourful box braids so I decided to try one on myself. This was my first experience trying this technique and the whole process took me like 30 minutes. Result is a bit messy but still funky. And of course in this post I am making a tribute for my Kuddley Carvela shoes which I ABSOLUTELY ADORE. So this time I am getting funky and fluffy.

Three stripes and russian squats? I doubt that! Let's mix 'em up with heels and flying chiffon dresses. Layers,layers,layers.. I want to skip cliches and ideas that sportswear is only worn by athletes. I want my salmon tartare and glass of prosecco, please!

Well, this is actually one of my University projects. I was supposed to review a postmodern object or a collection in two parts. In the First part I had to pretend that I am an author of the product or the collection and had to sell it in the best way. And the second one is the part when I had to review this in the most sceptical way and try to find as much constructive critique as I could. Hope you will find it interesting. SECTION ONE My name is Georgi Aleksandrovich Rubchinskiy. My friends call me Gosha. I was born on the 29th of July 1984 in Moscow. After a couple of years in Arts school and working as a hairdresser for Tony&Guy I realised that making clothes is my truly passion. For this season(Spring/Summer 2016) in mt collection “1984” I kept taking inspiration close to home. Russian culture, art and the anti utopian novel by George Orwell were the main figures that guided me during making this collection. The t-shirts with the year of 1984 marked out in square ...

One of the main parts in design process is fashion illustration. Fashion illustration is the message or idea, which designer is trying to pass on for the customers and viewers. Being a beginner in this industry, I encourage myself for practising my drawing skills as much as possible. One of the hardest things for me is transferring fabric on a piece of paper. Every time while doing it, I am asking myself what kind of six sense I will have to unblock in myself to make this skill develop itself. But believe it or not, being extremely far from the desired result, I admit that my drawings have improved. If i will compare my current work to the drawings that I have made couple of years ago - the progress can be definitely seen! One of my other habits of practising my skills - is to take existing image and re-draw it. Redrawing from a photography makes the process more interesting and it gives you opportunity to unlock your "deep" kind of vision of the garment and try to repr...
