Gosha Rubchinskiy On The End Of Gosha Rubchinskiy—And More From His Talk In Tbilisi, Georgia

Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy kicked off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tbilisi with a talk at the deserted swimming pool turned nightclub Bassiani. The event started with a video recording of his Fall 2018 show in which his runway models explained who and where they were from. Next, the designer gave a low-key speech in Russian on topics ranging from his namesake label (which he recently announced he would stop showing) to the cycles of art. Afterward, there was a brief panel, the subjects of which included fashion’s power to unite, Rubchinskiy’s skate shop in Moscow, and how he met Adrian Joffe of Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market.
