Founder of Vintage Voyage Alina Lysova about favorite outfits
FOR RUBBER "WARDROBE" we take pictures of beautiful, original or strangely dressed people in their favorite things and ask them to tell related stories. This week our heroine is Alina Lysova, founder of Vintage Voyage. She talked about how to wear vintage dresses, about family continuity, which is good for old bags and things from the Belgian Dries van Noteon.
Traction to the dresses I have since childhood, which had to restructuring. As I remember, my favorite checkered dress with a hare on top of a breast pocket and trimmed with snow-white lace. Then, in order to find it, the family had to connect with connections, acquaintances and tricks. It's good that everything is easier today. My taste was influenced by my mother’s wardrobe, Burda Moden magazines, and Hollywood golden age actress outfits. Perhaps from here my love for everything brilliant, even theatrical, red and high-waisted trousers. I can say that working with vintage also affects: all my things are objects with a story.
Saint Laurent jeans, Hermès vintage shirt, Gianvito Rossi shoes
I bought jeans on Ssence's favorite site without fitting: I had no doubt that they would sit correctly. Hermès vintage silk shirt was ordered for the Vintage Voyage collection, but I really liked it and I decided to keep it. Like to wear a shirt tied at the waist. Classic shoes Gianvito Rossi were purchased in the same store in Paris at the insistence of a friend, the dean of a prestigious Moscow university. I remember her cautionary words: "Alina, in Moscow you are lost without them!"
Dress and jacket COMME des GARÇONS, sandals N ° 21
Despite the fact that conceptual things are difficult to plant, a few years ago I fell in love with the brand COMME des GARÇONS. This dress was purchased in Paris. Passing the bright scarlet hue and fluffy pockets was impossible. I had been looking at these N ° 21 mules for a long time - now I’m not wearing all summer.
Etro Vintage Jacket, H & M Skirt, Prova Shawl, Golden Goose Sneakers
Favorite image for a cool summer. An Etro jacket from a tiny vintage shop in Florence fits all the skirts in my wardrobe, and especially this one in sequins. A silk Prova shawl with a fringe of beads can be worn in different ways: as a scarf, belt or bulk necklace. Adds relaxation. By the way, I have a whole collection of these scarves.
Dress Dries Van Noten, Dolce & Gabbana sandals
Summer dress Dries Van Noten is indispensable in the heat. I have a lot of items of this brand, because almost everyone sits down without fitting - you can buy any size from 36th to 42nd. I believe that a lot of crystals and gold does not happen. I bought two thin gold chains in Ankara in a charming little shop near the old fortress. I got them for little money, and I treated them like jewelery until the jeweler confirmed that they were made of high-quality gold and with real stones.
Marni Top Dries Van Noten, shoes and skirt
This kit gathered in my head completely by accident. Top Dries Van Noten struck me with brilliance, and Marni skirt with the right shade of old gold. Black Marni shoes fit perfectly in the wardrobe, primarily due to the classic shape, comfortable shoe and a steady heel.
Elsa Schiaparelli Vintage Dress, Fendi Sandals and Evita Peroni Necklace Belt
Favorite vintage dress Elsa Schiaparelli of the 60s was bought from her suppliers and friends. Here is a wonderful shade of cornflower and unusual texture of silk. I wear with rolled up sleeves. By the way, this is my favorite reception with vintage outfits: if you roll up your sleeves, the dresses immediately look more modern. I usually wear Fendi silk shoes with this dress. They have a comfortable heel, and thanks to the bright contrasting colors, they harmonize with almost all summer things.
Thierry Mugler Vintage Dress, Fendi Sandals, Oliver Peoples Points
The 80s Thierry Mugler neon floral dress is my favorite when I need to look both vintage and businesslike. Points Oliver Peoples bought in a terrific store in Biarritz. There was a huge selection of all kinds of frames and brands. I went there every day as a job. At the end of the trip, I felt like a monkey from Krylov's fable.
Chanel Vintage Pants, Zara Top, Marni Shoes
Pants and jeans wear rarely. However, this vintage Chanel is a happy exception. They have a soft woolen fabric and a perfect fit. I usually combine them with basic laconic things, for example with a vest Zara.
Vintage kimono, Balenciaga pants, Benedetta Bruzziches bag, Marni sandals
This and other vintage kimonos I brought last winter from Japan for the Vintage Voyage collection. One thing got into my wardrobe. He has an incredible beauty lining, but for me the details are important. I feel special in it.
Dries Van Noten dress, Roger Vivier ballet flats, vintage Rolex watch
Dries Van Noten dress struck by a contrasting combination of colors and simple cut. These Roger Vivier ballet flats are bought at a closed sale with an impressive discount. I combine them with trousers and dresses in a classic style. Rolex vintage men's watches fit perfectly into my wardrobe. They look neat and made of two metals. You can wear without thinking about which jewelry or accessories they fit: gold, silver, steel.
Hermès Kelly Vintage Bag
Kelly's vintage bag of fine scratches and scuffs over time, only prettier. It is made of leather Box - one of the most durable and difficult to handle. With proper care, the bag can be worn for decades. I hope to give it to children and grandchildren.
Hermès bag
Hermès ironic silk bag with a pattern of "Magic Kelly" is ideal for summer sundresses and boat trips.
Bag Benedetta Bruzziches
Benedetta Bruzziches silk bag proved to be completely resistant to friction. Worn to holes after a couple of walks.
Necklaces and bracelets
A large necklace with a crab and a bracelet with an elephant pendant found in Florence. This is a jewelry of a fairly well-known Italian brand, the name of which I, unfortunately, do not remember. A Askew London vintage necklace with red beads is a friend's gift. I wear it with bright dresses and simple T-shirts.
Perfume Frederic Malle French Lover, Mona di Orio Tubereuse, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud
These are the first bottles from the shelf. I like the complex and contradictory combinations. Each of the flavors I associate with a certain period of time or stage in life.
Hermès Les Bles Shawl, Rodrigo Otazu Necklace
My favorite vintage scarf, Hermès Les Bles, was presented by a friend. She collects Hermès scarves and understands them perfectly. I have a Rodrigo Otazu necklace from time immemorial. At one time I bought it, yielding to the fact that the heroines of “Sex and the City” were walking around in the jewelry of this brand.
