Mode und Revolution

The forward-thinking artists are already on their way – from painting to fabric, and they are not turning back. However, that is not enough. The entire mass of the artist youth must understand that this path is the only right one. By indicating the direction of the avant-garde in 1924, the cultural critic and futurist Ossip Brik also proclaims a closeness between fashion and art that had been frowned upon until then. This volume documents what this path looked like from the Russian Revolution to post-Soviet Russia and the creations it led to. Featuring designs by Kazimir Malevich and Lyubov Popova to Andrei Bartenev and Pavel Pepperstein. With patterns by Varvara Stepanova and Timur Novikov to Artem Loskutov and Damir Muratov. With cuts by Ilya Zdanevich and Vera Mukhina to Tanja Akchmetgalieva and Sasha Frolova. Along with contributions and analyses from Ossip Brik, Mikhail Larionov, Régis Gayraud, and many others.
