At the Olympic games in August 2016, the Russian team will be inspired by the ideas of the constructivists of the 1920s-х years

At XXXI summer Olympic games will be held in Rio-де-Жанейро from 5 to 21 August, the Russian team will go in the form, in the style of Russian avant-garde 1920-х. It is necessary to clarify that the designers Bosco Sport did not take the ready model sports forms or ornaments of fabrics, which was developed by the Russian avant-garde artists (for example, Varvara Stepanova, Aleksandra Ekster, Lyubov Popova). They have developed their style. And in my opinion, quite successful: he managed to save the graphic dynamism, to convey the spirit of the time and not to slip into the grotesque and to be modern.

About the new sports uniform has warmly praised the designer and painter Vyacheslav Zaitsev an interview with "Russian news service": "vanguard — is interesting. For “Bosco” this discovery is brand new. They are accustomed to a certain standard that has all recognizable. It colors and decorative ornaments, Russian folk themes, pronounced. But the Russian avant-garde should also be very recognizable. Added black, because it is more active, sharp contour, numbers should work... it is Unlikely that such a drastic change should be associated with politics... I Think everyone is bored already of this form, which is sold in all stores and airports. Therefore, people want what-то new. Russian avant-garde in the world is very recognizable, so looks good".

the Official presentation of the new form was not yet. The photo that you see @the mdas these images are from the "instagrams" of the Olympic champion in dances on ice Tatiana skill sets and Bosco in the context of the work photos. Models it made, except for the grooves, even Olympic Champions on sports gymnastics Svetlana Khorkina and Alexei Nemov, hockey player Pavel Bure. It is reported that in the new Olympic line form our team includes tracksuits, olimpici, t-shirts and, sorry, Panama.

In General, the course of the long-awaited and brilliant in its simplicity. Strange that it had come. Vanguard — our cultural phenomenon that is known and appreciated all over the world. But until recently its almost not involved in the country's progress. A definite change occurred in 2014, when in the set design of the closing of the Olympic games in Sochi Russian avant-garde was heard clearly and convincingly. In developing the concept was attended by Konstantin Ernst — collector and great connoisseur of this area. And a year later Bosco designers had thought to use the ideas of Russian constructivism in the simulation. Already by the first picture shows that the project turned out. Well done!
