“Oh brother, I’ve been dreaming...”
Old friends meet again in an intimate artistic collaboration between international skate brand RASSVET and Los Angeles-based artist Julian Klincewicz. This collection seamlessly merges Klincewicz’s vibrant vision with RASSVET’s signature style, offering a fresh perspective on contemporary streetwear.
Inspired by Klincewicz’s poetic musings and nostalgic reflections, the collection embodies
a sense of freedom, joy, and adventure. From knitwear to denim, t-shirts to eyewear, each piece serves as a canvas for Klincewicz’s artistic expression, bringing his evocative imagery to life.
“I formed the collection around a poem & song that I’ve been working on for some time,” explains Klincewicz. “It’s one of freedom, of youthful joy and adventure, of exploration & intimacy. I wanted to capture the essence of skateboarding and fashion, and how both have shaped me and brought communities together.”
Rooted in a shared passion for creativity and collaboration, the partnership between RASSVET and Klincewicz feels like a homecoming. “Both skating and fashion have brought us together, have shaped us,” recalls Klincewicz. “The two develop in tandem and at their best form a kind of conversation. And I wanted to participate in that conversation again.”
The collection features a medley of artworks - photographic images, drawings, and excerpts of poetry - all woven together to evoke a sense of boyhood freedom. From soft grass fields to sherbet-fire sunsets, each piece contributes to a larger constellation of memories and experiences.
Founded in 2016 by skateboarder Tolya Titaev, RASSVET has become synonymous with community-building within the skateboarding world. The brand’s fresh vision is rooted in international friendships through its skate team, a collaborative approach to design, and artist features from across the world.
Julian Klincewicz, a multi-disciplinary artist known for his textural and colorful approach
to image-making, brings a wealth of experience and insight to the collaboration. His work, spanning photography, film, and music, has captivated audiences around the world, earning him collaborations with leading artists and brands.
