Fashionably obscene, the latest collection from Denis Simachev pays tribute to the “boundary of 80-90″ when the USSR began to significantly feel the pressures and influences of American culture. Inspired by the idea of youth replicating a western look, Simachev outfits his collection in acid washed denim and corduroy, while finishing off with bold prints and graphics. The collection is completed with an eclectic mix of leather, wool, denim and fur in a surprisingly subdued color palette. Overall, Simachev’s fall collection exudes a nostalgic quality that coincides well with the line’s worry-free vintage vibe.

Denis Simachev Spring 2009

Written by Carl on Thursday, October 30th, 2008 | 2009, Runway, Spring 2009, denis simachev, spring   

“THE HERO: An ordinary Russian guy. He is free. He is different. He lives beyond cliches, boundaries, rules and ideas, which aren’t his own. His only guidelines are his mood and his emotions.

He searches. He makes mistakes. He feels. He dances. What’s he high on? He is just high.
THE LOOK: Worn out cocaine chic inspired by Studio 54 in modern interpretation.

Hippie movement, inspired by the rastafaris and Woodstock. Heroine chic aesthetics inspired by the early 1990’s in America mixed with drunks and junkies from the streets of Moscow.” [Denis Simachev]

Denissi Machev Fall Winter 2008

Denissi Machev’s clothing line is quirky. All the pieces together are too much for the eyes, but I find the pieces on an individual basis to be really interesting. There are more pictures after the cut, but I would suggest visiting his website to watch a video of the runway show.
