Students from the HSE School of Design specializing in fashion presented their new collection H.A.R.D. 2.0 – a mix of works styled in a single concept. For a year HSE students have been experimenting with forms and techniques, deconstructing and creating new forms from old ones.

Igor Gurovitch, Curator and Senior Lecturer at the School of Design, designer, poster artist, and founder of Ostengruppe, took part in the AGI Open international conference.

On May 28th, 2015, the festival of children’s and youth art, ‘We Draw the World on the Pavement’, took place in Strogino. The participants spent four hours turning the 162-sq.m. area in front of the HSE MIEM building into a canvas united by the themes of peace, joy and spring.  

As part of a review, second year fashion students (curated by Maria Smirnova) prepared projects on the unifying theme of recycling. The results of their work are on display in an exhibition at the HSE School of Design until 27th March.

The phenomenon of the cartoon poster is not very widespread in Russia. As a rule, a best-case scenario for the premiere of feature-length animated films is that posters are made from a frame of the movie; for 10-minute films, individual posters simply are not made. The organizers of the Big Cartoon Festival therefore turned for help to Igor Gurovitch, an artist and teacher at the HSE Faculty of Design. For all the years of the festival, Gurovitch has traditionally made branding posters for it.
