The FW26 collection is about the power of a certain longing. About garments returned to again and again, until they carry weight, memory and meaning. Desire lives in texture and tension, in the pull between structure and softness, in layers that shelter yet reveal, in fabrics that resist perfection and grow intimate through time and wear.
The FW25 collection, Dress Rehearsal, reimagines the act of dressing as an intimate ritual, where preparation is as meaningful as the final presentation. Blending imperfection, transformation, and layering, the collection further expands RUS' knit universe with woven garments, deepening the dialogue between texture, technique, and craftsmanship.
The FW24 collection embraces soft, ethically sourced textures, frayed edges, and versatile layering pieces, paying homage to everyday rituals and fostering an intimate, sustainable relationship with clothing.
Following self-reflection, exploration is the next step on the ladder to transformation. This season, we spent considerable time developing the new textures and fabrics that would make up our FW23 collection, embracing the happy accidents and missteps made along the way.
RUS is a family affair, what started as two sisters dressing up in our mother clothes as part of our childhood games, evolved through the years into a shared vision and understanding. What we’ve found out over the last few years working together is that our interests and emotions are as familiar as our bloodline.
Space Matters is a dialogue between the interior and the exterior. An exploration of clothing as a sensorial experience; focusing on the tactile and emotional awareness of inhabiting the clothes rather than on the viewer’s perspective.
For FW 2020 we worked on the concept of comfort zones as an expression of intimacy, alluding to the invisible space we unconsciously create around our minds and bodies in relation to others to feel safe.
For F/W 2019 we draw inspiration from the act of getting dressed, elevating it to the category of mystical ritual.
The SS26 collection explores the threshold between wakefulness and sleep, where time dissolves, memory drifts, and identity blurs; reflecting the lingering emotions tied to the intimate moments of dressing and undressing.
Named after Ryuichi Sakamoto’s evocative song A Flower is not a Flower, the SS25 collection explores the beauty found in transient moments, challenging the perception that ephemeral experiences are devoid of significance.
This SS24 collection draws inspiration from a harmonious fusion of words and art, where the tactile beauty of knitwear embraces the transformative nature of sculpture.
Our SS23 collection is designed as a sensorial experience that charts the undercurrents of the everyday and the dream-like depths of memory. This season’s miscellanea of colour and texture draws from both the poetry and the banality of our quotidian lives.
Humans constantly transform ourselves in subtle but no less significant ways. Common Bodies is an exploration of the multiple transformations women bodies undergo during the different phases of life, moments of essential change and beauty when we turn ourselves into abstract forms.
A slower pace has afforded us to have an appreciation of small pleasures; how they come at random into our lives, we savour them for a moment and then they’re gone. Strangely simple, we don’t think about them enough, or understand their therapeutic potential as insights into ourselves.
For SS 2020 we worked on the concept of lightness as an expression of freedom, rendering the invisible visible.
