The Mishka X New Era Collection is Thoroughly Warm
- story Chioma Nnadi
There are a few silhouettes in the new crop of Mishka X New Era caps and all of these toppers have been designed with style and Siberian wind chill factors in mind. There’s the MiG Aviator (a sturdy Soviet Air Force staple, with traditional fuzzy earflaps), the Gein Hunter cap (a quilted Elmer Fudd fave), both of which are tried and true body heat conservers. Even the breezy boy racer-inspired Cyrillic gets a winter update in melton wool.
Freeload: Mother Russia Vinyl Archeology Mix
- story THE FADER
In FADER 60 (which is out right now), Mishka co-founder and creative director Mikhail Bortnik dug into his crates to pull out a selection of Russian music and songs inspired by Russia for our Vinyl Archeology section. Since there were so many jams, we asked Bortnik to put together a mix of his favorites as well as some that didn’t make it into our pages. Luckily for the music nerd in all of us, he came back with a solid hour of music we were either somewhat familiar with or had no idea how to pronounce. While we learn Russian, download the mix below, check out Bortnik’s story in F60, and if you’re curious about what you’re hearing there’s a full tracklist after the jump.

On The Street: Five Years Of Mishka
- story THE FADER
Now that New York Fashion Week has officially subsided and our livers have more or less regenerated, we’re finally getting back to the business of enjoying fashion on our terms. But before we hung up our fashion week hiking boots, we hit the streets one last time to find some fashionable DIY’s at Mishka’s five year anniversary party last Friday with FADER fam Nick Catchdubs and Diplo playing the jams that brought out some quirky asymmetrical haircuts and a deconstructed Mishka sweater dress! We’d expecting nothing else from Mishka’s fans.
Actual Pain Pop Up Shop
- story THE FADER
In F52 we talked about the delightfully gory creations of the metal influenced label, Actual Pain. Lucky for us, starting today and going all the way through the month of July, designer TJ Cowgill will be showing his Actual Pain sketchbook shirt collection at the Mishka Pop Up store in Williamsburg. Cowgill has dressed the shop in paintings and sketches from his personal collection and has the sketchbook behind the counter to check out, many of the designs inside will be or are already shirts. After you go, shake off your faded black denim and hit up Trophy Bar later tonight to check out the Sketchbook Collection party. Time to rage!
