8 Showrooms to Buy One-of-a-Kind Russian Fashions

GATE31 was created in 2015 with the idea that fashion has to be simple and minimalist. Started from a small shop in the historical center of St Petersburg, it now has six different stores and keeps growing. The carefully curated collection of brands and designers both from Asia and Russia, as well as convenient separation of clothes by color shade in the store, have helped GATE31 to win over St Petersburg fashionistas.
