Mark Formelle has created a clothing collection together with Belarusian designer Aliaksei Limonau, centred on prints of city manhole covers. The capsule has already reached the shops. The limited collection can be bought in Mark Formelle's own stores or ordered online with home delivery.

The collection is dedicated to the cast-iron manhole covers of Minsk. The main idea, as it is described, is to bring the aesthetic of the streets into the everyday wardrobe. The emphasis is on a relaxed street style with a grunge mood. The line is built on deep dark colours, voluminous oversize silhouettes and the manhole cover prints themselves. Among the prints are graphic images featuring the Yanka Kupala Theatre and the Opera House.

The capsule includes T-shirts, oversized hoodies and sweatshirts made of heavy footer fabric, loose trousers made of soft jersey, and bandana scarves. The character of the collection is underlined by metal tags, decorative details, lettering and a worn-in effect on the fabric.

Women's long-sleeve tops cost 39.99 roubles, trousers and hoodies 69.99, sweatshirts and crewnecks 59.99. Men's trousers and sweatshirts cost 79.99 roubles, hoodies 89.99, T-shirts 39.99.

Limonau is described as one of the most prominent and media-visible figures in Belarus's art community. His own project with images of Minsk manhole covers quickly drew public attention. It began as a graphic experiment and a design for decorative coasters, and grew into a streetwear capsule.

According to the authors of the collection, the manhole covers "complement the landscape of the Belarusian city and conceal a true history". Limonau himself explained his vision this way: "When we walk along our favourite streets, we see how every element plays its role in the overall harmony of the place. Manhole covers are like the 'DNA' of a city. A cultural code is encrypted in them. They have their own character, beauty and a recognisable local pattern."
