Gosha Rubchinskiy 'The Day of My Death' Photobook / Art Book IDEA Books Softcover 21 x 28cm 104 pages Limited edition of 1,000 copies worldwide Gosha Rubchinskiy, a menswear designer and photographer, has released his new photobook, 'THE DAY OF MY DEATH'. This project originated from his invitation as a guest designer at this year's Pitti Uomo and is Rubchinskiy's first photobook shot outside of Russia. Using locations such as factories and government headquarters in Florence, he found aesthetic values similar to those of the former Soviet Union in Mussolini's Italy. Rubchinskiy posed the questions: "What is contemporary Europe? Are nations integrating or separating? What is global? And what is individuality?" 'The Day of My Death' is a collection of works by Gosha Rubchinskiy, a fashion designer and photographer born in Moscow, Russia. While designers who are also top-class photographers are well-known, such as the master Karl Lagerfeld, and Hedi Slimane, who was the creative director for Yves Saint Laurent and Celine, this young artist, Rubchinskiy, is one of them. His style, inspired by Russian street culture and a rebellious spirit against socialist states, gained rapid attention from the 2010s and is very popular in Japan. As a photographer, he has released two photobooks based in Russia, and this is his third. It was shot for the first time outside of Russia, with factories built in Florence under Mussolini's regime as the setting, giving a sense of similarity to his own country under government control. The concept titled "The Day of My Death" was also presented in the 2017 SS collection. Limited to 1000 copies. IDEA The outer cover has a little damage, but it is a beautiful item that has only been read once.
