Forward looks to Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy for the inspiration of its latest style edit. Borrowing from Rubchinkiy’s references of Soviet-era street style, Forward rounds up its spin on Eastern Block ensembles. Model August Gonet reunites with the retailer, donning looks, based around sporty separates. An urban vibe runs strong as August dons sweatpants and sweatshorts. Sporting fashions from Rubchinkiy as well as brands like Opening Ceremony and Palm Angels, August is a casual, nonchalant vision.
