Labor Class Matters · Unisex Hoodie · After G. Gausman ‘For Peace & Progress in Europe’ 1976

A wearable piece of graphic history. The print on this hoodie is drawn from an original 1976 Soviet poster by Georgiy Gausman (1928–1994) — a prominent Soviet graphic artist and member of the USSR Union of Artists, known for his contributions to state agitprop and political poster design.

The image is quintessential late Soviet heroism: a stalwart worker stands at a podium, projecting a message of international cooperation outward to the world. Produced for the 1976 Conference of Communist and Workers’ Parties of Europe in Berlin, it sits at a fascinating moment in Soviet graphic history: late-stage Socialist Realism beginning to move toward the more streamlined style that would define the late 1970s.

The slogans on this hoodie distil that message into something still urgent: Labor class matters. Global labor force: 3.7 billion strong. Est. since work. Archive culture you can wear.
