From the Beriozka to the Runway · what this course is about
01
Not what they wore —
but how it worked
The state plan, Fashion Houses, the black market, diplomatic stores — everything the magazines never printed.
02
Four eras —
one story
From Soviet light industry to Instagram brands. Each series is a decade; together they tell the complete story of the industry.
03
Archives not available
to the public
Rare footage, documents, and testimonies gathered by someone who worked inside the industry.

Free — before you decide
A curated selection of films, music
and documentary videos
on the visual culture of the 80s
Some things are better seen once than described a hundred times. But understanding the context makes watching them so much richer.

Forever. You can return to any lecture at any time — a month, a year, or five years later.
What format are the lectures in, and what do I need to watch them?
Video lectures with visual archives. They open in any browser — on your phone, tablet, or computer. No app required.
