22/05: Fashion from Russia - Denis Simachev
Denis Simachev is perhaps the most interesting contemporary Russian fashion designer. Taking his inspiration from old school USSR style, 90s gangsters, and modern high life heroes from Russia, he successfully mixes the concepts together producing cutting edge, provocative, sexy, and often funny clothes. For example, his recent Summer 2007 collection was recreating the atmosphere of the popular Soviet resorts of the 80s: Black Sea and Sochi. Men wearing newspaper hats, leather jackets, shabby shorts, and trashy tops, all immaculately cut and fitted. The t-shirts had the slogan "???? ???????", which means "Nothing Sacred". Take a look at the fashion show video here:
The most recent collection explores the world of gangsters and crime.
Men dressed in black leather and black fur hats walk around with grave expressions on their faces. Golden chains and gangster attributes... T-shirts listing the Organized Crime Groups ("OPG" in Russian) or saying "????? ??????, ????? ??????" (which means "The dude says, the dude does") -- another proverb coming from the recent gangsta past...
Denis Simachev has a flagship store in Moscow, located on Stoleshnikov Lane, 12/2, telephone: + 7 495 629 80 85.
Denis Simachev cafe, located in the same building, is among the most popular hangouts in Moscow for local designers and creative types.
