"From Russia With Love" Shot by Gosha Rubchinskiy

Russian fashion designer and photographer Gosha Rubchinskiy shares an intimate photographic essay featuring the youths of a post-Soviet underground. Known for his thought-provoking mixture of influences from the streets of Moscow with surrounding subcultures, Rubchinskiy’s work is an aggregate of its parts. More than just fashion, he combines black metal, sports, and skateboard culture to create a unique understanding of contemporary Russian culture. With a short interview accompanying each subject in this essay, the topics of sexuality and gay rights play front and centre in the conversation. You can read the full interviews here.
