“…In other words, in the spirit of transitology, 10 Russian culture is frequently assessed in terms of its capacity for self-expression, less so for community building. For example, in the famous case of Pussy Riot, research has focused on the limitations to self-expression (Morris 2018;Wiedlack 2018;Zikrata 2018), disregarding the fact that their performance was instrumental in the creation of new communities, namely, transnational associations of male and female feminists (Strukov 2013). Goncharov's case allows me to consider a period when self-expression was not only 'allowed' by the government but existed irrespective of any form of governance.…”

I re-assess Russian sartorial economics of the 1990s by examining fashion by Konstantin Goncharov, who was credited for styling Russian rock stars and making costumes for artistic projects. I focus on the relationship between queer masculinity and sartorial practice. The former relies on a visual code encompassing a range of multi-platform, cross-media strategies and a network of references. The latter refers to a community of individuals engaged in the production of a characteristic style across different sites. The article proposes the concept of queer world-building, which brings together object-oriented and community-oriented practices. Central to Goncharov’s world is ‘the queer coat’, a costume designed for his clientele and a historically grounded metaphor for Russian society. It designates the process of creative re-modelling of pre-Soviet and Soviet aesthetics, producing a complex cultural exchange challenging dominant notions of masculinity. Goncharov’s cross-platform and intermedial work captures the spirit of multi-centric cultural activity of the 1990s.
