Vladimir Vysotsky's signature jacket
As a schoolboy, Vysotsky received the offensive nickname “American” in those days ” – for things brought from Germany. Choosing outfits himself, the young actor copied the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky: he wore wide shirts, scarves and neckerchiefs.
Leather jacket, bell-bottom trousers – this is how fans remember Vladimir Semenovich. And also in a dark turtleneck or a shirt with the top button undone.

The quiet luxury of Alexander Abdulov
In the role of Nikita in “Carnival” (1981), he embodied his usual on-screen image of a charming and rather dangerous heartthrob. And also a fashionista, whom people wanted to be like.

“Today the style of Mironov, Yankovsky and Abdulov would be called quiet luxury, or “quiet luxury.” It became widespread back in the 20th century and today, thanks to various TV series, it is on the wave of popularity. These are beautiful clothes in muted colors without flashy prints. It’s made of high-quality materials, there are no logos, no marker of value,” explains the fashion historian.
