Having started life in 2015 as a photojournal documenting the evolution of Russian underground culture, Stas Falkov’s Kruzhok completed its transformation into fully-fledged streetwear brand in late 2017.
Since then, Kruzhok’s clothing has continued to offer a window into the cultural landscape of contemporary Russia by depicting subjects as diverse as Russian cityscapes, former Soviet resorts and lower-league football grounds. Influenced by photography as a medium, the brand’s collections preserve the original cinematic aesthetic of Falkov’s photojournal.
Kollektiv offers pieces from Kruzhok’s recent collaboration with Moscow’s Space Museum, which commemorates the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite – Sputnik 1 – by the Soviet Union in 1957.
