Designer Anton Belinskiy, known for his cool-kid-minded clothing, loved by the Ukrainian club scene, left Kiev last March to go to his mother’s home in Kalynivka, about 30 minutes southwest of the city and a bucolic oasis surrounded by woods and wildlife. It’s a jarring image. Belinskiy had long been known for putting the looks of the underground youth front and center of the fashion-verse, hosting party-shows at his home, and even taking over a local bazaar. But in this small town, it’s calm and serene. His family even has a baby goat. But what’s a designer in the Slavic countryside to do but turn his family into his models and create a fantastic family photo album? In a series of surreal photos, Belinskiy took the lockdown as a time to chronicle his family, his daily life, and his clothes.
