'PERESTROJKA!' is een festival met mode, fotografie, muziek, kunst, film en de creatieve geest van 'underground' Rusland. Het laat de spectaculaire ontwikkeling zien van de alternatieve mode en daaraan gerelateerde bruisende muziekscene van Rusland tussen 1985 en 1995.

Het Nederlandse publiek krijgt voor het eerst de gloednieuwe fototentoonstelling 'Ongetemde mode in USSR' te zien, die de Moskouse curator Misha Buster samenstelde. Drie weekeinden zijn er concerten, modeshows, performances, acties, masterclasses, filmvertoningen en feesten op de NDSM-werf.

Exhibition Alternative Fashion before Glossies, 1985-1995 showcases the history of alternative fashion movement, a trend that emerged at the junction of rock and squat club culture during the period that started in early perestroika and ended with the arrival of glossy fashion magazines in mid-1990s.

Za vrijeme „Željezne zavjese“ rusko stanovništvo nije imalo kontakte sa Zapadom, koji je imao razvijenu modnu industriju. Stoga su rusku modu oživljavali dizajneri i zaljubljenici u modu u ekstravagantnim odjevnim kombinacijama koje su nosili na amaterskim modnim pistama i na ulici. Dio toga moguće je vidjeti u Galeriji starih i novih majstora.
- Trebalo je mnogo izuzetne energije da se za ovu godinu iz moskovskog „Garaž centra za suvremenu kulturu“ dobije ova izložba – rekli su organizatori.
