Managing partner Monstars Ira Efimova 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 the managing partner of Monstars Ira Efimova.
I like very simple and clear things that fit together. I mostly choose simple basic things, but I also like bright outerwear. I also have a lot of pairs of jeans: the last recalculation had 38 of them, my favorite are Topshop, Rag & Bone, Helmut Lang. My last passion is sneakers, which also tightly took place in my closet, I often wear them.
Every year I promise myself that I will buy only the necessary and high-quality things, but I still can not refrain from hike just because of my mood or during seasonal sales. My evil rock is online stores, as I have a fairly standard physique and I can order things and shoes in any stores without trying them on. Most often I choose clothes on ASOS, Revolve, Farfetch. Work allows me not to have a separate office wardrobe, but still I try to update my “business wardrobe” as well.
My main inspiration is street selection of fashion styles, because most often thanks to them you can imagine how things will look in the city and on a person, unlike images from shows or from filming, where often all clothes are on clothespins, but in reality things hang or simply made to a different height.
When traveling, I always buy items from local designers or iconic brands of a particular country. Recently, we have mastered the system of sharing of things with friends: we buy one thing for two. This is very convenient when you have one size and do not want to spend a lot of money on something that will last one season.
Bomberbee Alpha Industries, Topshop jeans, t-shirt Alexander Wang, sneakers BAPE x adidas NMD
I saw this jacket on stylist Sasha Devyatchenko and could no longer think about anything else — I immediately ordered it. In it, I feel very cool, it is combined, in principle, with any clothing. BAPE x adidas NMD is a limited edition NMD with the BAPE brand (famous camouflage pattern). We even have their design furniture in our office. There was a real hunt for these sneakers, and I managed to get them through my friend, who has his own street shoe store. True, he asked not to tell anyone about this, since the queue behind them was hellish, and the couples are still reselling on eBay for $ 1,200.
Maje Coat, Jeans & Belt - Levi's, Topshop Top, adidas NMD Sneakers
I have long wanted a red coat, but I could not find the right shade, and now it was waiting for me on sale in Tsvetnoy. Its shade is perfect red. Every time I put it on, someone asks where to buy the same, for example, a photographer on this shoot. About jeans nothing to say, except that it is a classic Levi's.
Leggings Pirosmani Studio, Zara top, All Saints bomber, Yeezy Boost sneakers
I fell in love with these leggings at one of the shows of Zhenya Malygina in 2012. I still wear them on all long journeys, because they are very comfortable and light. At each airport there is someone who asks what kind of designer. Once, even a female border officer in the United States praised them. My favorite men's bomber jack All Saints. This brand has a very high-quality outerwear, which is made from natural materials, so even in the fall it is warm.
H & M shirt, Topshop jeans, Zara boots
I really liked the fabric and pattern on this shirt - it is very delicate and spring. Zara shoes surprisingly always fit me perfectly and show no signs of being inexpensive or of poor quality when worn. I always wear silver shoes when I want to put a bright accent in the image.
All Saints jacket, Monstars sweatshirt, Massimo Dutti pants, Au Pont Rouge boots
Classic leather jacket, which I love very much. Under each of our projects, we traditionally make sweatshirts with inspirational inscriptions, dates, hashtags of the event and the Monstars logo, and then wear them on assembly and disassembly during the event. This was made in September, I like it very much, and I continue to wear it, even after the event. The boots are very heavy, it is impossible to walk in them for a long time, but at the same time they are great for trousers like these gray ones. It is noteworthy that I bought the first pants at twenty-five and thus marked the beginning of my maturation, therefore I keep them as a memorable thing.
GOSH dress, adidas Originals Superstar sneakers
I will say straight out - I think this is a perfectly fitting dress with the right degree of stripping the legs.
Mango dress, adidas Originals Superstar sneakers
Purchased in 2010 and still every summer I want to wear it, because it reminds me at once of all the romantic moments that happened to me at that time. Many times I wanted to make it just a top, because I like the upper part a lot more, but in the end it still remains a dress.
Skirt Tamuna Ingorokva, bodysuit ETO TOP, Zara shoes
I persuaded the designer to sell me this skirt when we were in Tbilisi on fitting my friend's wedding dress. Tamuna told me that if I try on a skirt and it suits me, she will sell it. As you can see, the skirt is now on me! I like the combination of a complex bottom and a simple bodysuit top.
Self-Portrait dress, Balenciaga boots
Boots - a gift of my girlfriend, got to me at the moment when they just came out and was a super it-thing. Over time, they became classics and look good in any situation. And I often wear a dress for evening events and at the same time I feel very comfortable in it.
Off-White Sweatshirt
If I could, I would buy the entire collection of Off-White, but for the time being I do not take off this XXL size men's sweatshirt. The combination of black, white and bright prints is all that I like about clothes in general.
Sunglasses Miu Miu, Ray-Ban, Dior
I saw the Dior glasses at a meeting with a client who delivered these three-color lenses at the beginning of the year, and could not wait for the sales to start. I love this form with Miu Miu, I have two pairs in different colors of this model.
Earrings
Swarovski is surprisingly light and your ears never get tired, it's more complicated with Dior, although I also love them very much. All the other earrings I wear only if I need to stay in them for no more than forty minutes, since it quickly becomes uncomfortable and difficult for me.
Bag Chanel Boy
Memorable gift.
Rebecca Minkoff Bag
Rebecca Minkoff is a very cool designer from California, I have about four models of her bags. They are all very roomy, comfortable as a daily option and are distinguished by their amazingly cool quality for little money.
