![]() I'm not gonna lie, I hated this trend (and so did anyone who grew up listening to metal), but it's pretty hard to deny the appeal of rock 'n' roll graphics. Whether Travis Scott or Kendall " I don't know how people can listen to heavy metal" Jenner actually care about music with guitars in is beyond the point, millions of people followed in their footsteps and copped tees from bands that they may or may not have ever listened to. ![]() We called the trend grungewave a while back, and one side effect of the genre's newfound love of guitar music is that vintage band tees have become a must-have for fashion, rap and streetwear types.Īll sorts of mega-celebs were spotted in throwback rock tees from legendary bands like Metallica, Guns 'n' Roses, Nirvana and even Slayer ( SLAYERRRR! \m/ \m/). Streetwear is having a bit of a rock 'n' roll phase these days. People might move on from the whole "Post-Soviet" look, but the future's still bright for the former USSR. Nothing stays cool forever - remember Street Goth? - but while trends and tastes come and go, that won't change the fact that places like Russia, Georgia and Ukraine are hotbeds of talented and open-minded young creatives. The "Post-Soviet" tag is something Russians feel a bit uneasy about - "it’s a cliché invented by the media," Gosha told 032c - but regardless of names and labels, it's hard to deny that creatives from the old Soviet bloc are some of the most influential and inspiring out there right now.Ĭrystal Ball Says: It's hard to say. ![]() Vladivostok-born stylist Lotta Volkova has also had a great year, and her distinctive clash of high- and low-end references is v influential, too.

His photography is just as patriotic, shining light on a new, young, beautiful side to his country, and featuring an ever-expanding crew of youthful Russians. Gosha's aesthetic is Russian through and through, with Cyrillic lettering emblazoned all over his pieces, and he's particularly fond of rough-and-ready fake fur and shearling. His streetwear brand is one of the most coveted in the game: he hosted a stunning SS17 show at Pitti Uomo, started a label with Russian skater Tolia Titaev and even launched his own fragrance. Gosha Rubchinskiy has been doing his thing for years - we first wrote about him back in 2012, just saying - but he's had an equally strong 2016. His aesthetic is ugly chic, basically, and the world can't get enough of it right now. ![]() Gvasalia's new vision of 97-year-old couture house Balenciaga, meanwhile, has embraced awkward fabrics like spandex and tacky, Soviet-era florals. ![]() Demna's work at Vetements is all about tongue-in-cheek irony and outrageous silhouettes (and equally outrageous price points), and it's sent the fashion world crazy, inspiring countless think-pieces, rip offs and online comment wars.
