Though the post-Soviet Vetements and Gosha Rubchinskiy effect has mostly dissipated on Ukrainian runways, some designers are still citing the era. Take Christina Bobkova of Bobkova: She used the pixelated, poor quality of TV screens—a common occurrence in the early ’90s—and applied the visual as a print throughout the collection.
The glitchy graphic came in stripes on a gray knit dress, but the strongest use of the print was when it was most colorful; a dress striped in red, yellow, and gray looked great.
