Post-Soviet designers conquer the West. There are two brands Gosha Rubchinskiy и Vetements now at the peak of popularity, both actively use the aesthetics of the 90s, the style of the post-Soviet period and are often criticized for propagating frankly ‘ugly and market’ combinations.

Smart casual is a combination of classics in a democratic version, allowing a variety of fabrics, unbuttoned shirt, lack of a jacket (or jacket with jeans) and the availability of accessories.
