In the new material - PR director of Aurora Fashion Week Russia and blog author The very uk Uliana Kim, who showed us things from the H & M collaboration and Maison Martin Margiela and told us about the love of homeless style and designer Alexander Vang.

I always wear only what I like, not what is fashionable. If the thing that appeals to me fits into the current trends, then fine, if not - even better. I have a lot of clothes, and it is very different. I am for black and monochrome colors, an unusual cut, loose oversized things - I feel comfortable in them.

Coat Zara, trousers Gina tricot sweatshirt Cheap Monday cap Topshop, ankle boots Alexander Wang, a bag Alexander Wang

A characteristic bow for me. I like everything to look very simple, there was a lot of black, but there were bright accents, I prefer free and comfortable things.

I bought a Zara coat for about five minutes in a mall in Helsinki, where I was passing through. I had 200 euros in my pocket and time for one store - the first on the way was the Zara department. I also liked the coat in Petersburg, but it was also cheaper in Helsinki, so the choice was made quickly.

The men's sweater with the inscription Cheap Monday Stockholm was bought, oddly enough, also in Helsinki. Almost all the sweatshirts in my wardrobe are men's: I like oversize. I feel comfortable and secure in them.

Lacquer black pants are a gift from Carolyn Blomst and Daniel Troise from Stockholm, who came to St. Petersburg to attend Aurora Fashion Week in October at my invitation. With the guys we made friends very much, and they made me a surprise with the gifts they sent me in the mail. Among other things were these pants. It is pleasant and attention, and the fact that the pants themselves are very suitable for me. Since Caroline said, "You'll rock them," it means you have to try.

Alexander Wang is one of my favorite designers. Special favorites in almost all collections are bags and shoes. This bag and ankle boots have been living in my wardrobe for quite some time, but they are still beloved to this day. I like beautiful leather dressing, black bulging rivets on the bag, an unusual heel on ankle boots and a noble khaki color.

Shirt dress Osome2some, stripped vest Comme des Garcons, leather shorts Kiliwatch, shoes Theyskens' theory

I put on a shirt-dress of my probably most beloved Petersburg designers Osome2some only on special occasions - I wore it at the “Sobaka.ru. TOP 50” award and at one of the shows of Stockholm Fashion Week. I read somewhere comments in the spirit of "What is this on her for a hospital robe ?!". If so, then it is at least from my favorite Petersburg designers. And in Stockholm they asked me where this dress came from, about twenty times.

Vest Comme des Garcons, I think, has become a classic and a kind of must have. If you have it, you love it and are afraid to bring it to the holes, if it is not there, then you will definitely be going to buy it. As an AFWR employee, I almost always wear a vest.

My most favorite and sexy shoes are Theyskens' Theory. Every day you don’t look like them, and you don’t take the subway, but the exit is perfect. Finished, concise, and legs in them look very impressive and long!

Body Maison Martin Margiela x H & M, skirt 3.1 Phillip Lim, shoes Theyskens' Theory, clutch bag Alexander Wang

The first H & M collaboration, from which I bought a few things. To do this, I had to go to the store in the morning in order to knock at the “mods” of the city and beat for the things chosen in advance. If I found the clutch and accessories pretty quickly, I didn’t even see the body on the shelves - they were disassembled in the first seconds. Fortunately, when the passions subsided, I gave him a friend, which it did not fit.

I don't have many skirts, but I have a few favorites. One is an asymmetrical 3.1 Phillip Lim black skirt with suspenders. I love things that are, on the one hand, classic and strict, and on the other, very playful and interestingly tailored. This skirt is a great example.

Alexander Wang clutch was bought by friends in Hong Kong at my request. It is small, but very roomy. In general, all my best acquisitions are accounted for either overseas travel or online shopping. So far, unfortunately, in Russia and St. Petersburg there are not so many stores that would be interesting to me by brand and no mark-ups.

Sheepskin coat Burberry prorsum, sweater Celine, skirt Balenciaga, ankle boots Jeffrey campbell

It turned out winter and warm image. The sheepskin coat is a gift from my young man and in combination, probably the most valuable thing in my wardrobe. In the Burberry Prorsum collection there were a lot of beautiful sheepskin coats, coats and fur coats with characteristic massive collars. I think that this collection remains for me the most spectacular to this day.

Besides the fact that the Celine sweater is very beautiful due to the deep cuts on the sleeves and an interesting cut, it is also very warm. I put it on only when I need to really warm up.

I ordered a Balenciaga skirt through an online store, but when she reached me, I discovered that she was big - I had to change it. But it was worth it - a very versatile and at the same time completely boring skirt, which I often wear.

At Fashion Week, I was somehow asked about ankle boots: "Is that Balenciaga?" “No, this is Jeffrey Campbell for $ 150,” I replied. Of course, the motives of various well-known designer brands are guessed, but he is also a mass market. I love Jeffrey Campbell for a huge number of models and for very reasonable prices.

Backpack Stella McCartney x Le Coq Sportif, sneakers from online store

Backpack Stella McCartney x Le Coq Sportif in the form of a rabbit or a hare, as you like more, was bought under the influence of "mimimi" and "he is so cool!" in duty free at the airport. Of course, I do not wear it, but I really like the fact of owning this hare. Sneakers were made long ago through some VKontakte group and cost about 500 rubles along with a drawing. I really like their shape, and I would buy another pair without a print, but now you can’t find one like that - definitely a rarity. As for the images, this is a quote by Renata Litvinova and a husky dog, whom I adore and will definitely someday lead.

Bomber Bik bok shirt Asos, jeans Isabel Marant, shoes Theyskens' theory

At Fashion Week in Stockholm, I saw a girl's sweatshirt made of thick synthetic material a la Balenciaga, asked where she bought it. The girl kindly reported that this is the Swedish mass market Bik Bok. On the same day I went to the store and found there a bomber jack, which I liked much more. After numerous journeys in a suitcase, he did not lose his shape at all and is worn perfectly.

My favorite shirt with cut shoulders. A great option to look strictly and at the same time elegant. When I came to work in this shirt and black skirt, I was told that I was a “sexy schoolgirl”. I still consider this a compliment.

Jeans that I have been looking for a long time, because all over the world they were bought up very quickly, and eventually found. Despite the fact that they are black and the embroidery on them are quite classic colors, it seems to me that they oblige monochrome and calm colors of the whole image, so I often wear them with white shirts or light sweaters.

Dress shirt Maison Martin Margiela, the dress Maison Martin Margiela, knee socks Monki, boots Hunter

I love black color, no matter who criticizes and advises to dilute the wardrobe with bright colors.

The shirt at first glance is very simple: black, slightly elongated. But she has a small leather collar, because of which I once bought it. And again, these are two in one: the shirt and the dress. Conveniently very!

I am very wary of "boiled" things - very rarely they look really good. I liked the Maison Martin Margiela dress for its asymmetry and discreet tie dye.

Rubber boots should be worn in rainy, dirty weather. Therefore, every morning when I put them on, I worry that the day the sun will shine and I will look at least silly. But I live in Petersburg, and the rains are fine, so the hunters are not stale, everything is clear.

The dress Diane von Furstenberg, ankle boots Dolce vita

I have a few gorgeous dresses, most of them are Diane von Furstenberg. The most spectacular is white and blue. I wore it very few times, one of which was at the Tom Brown show at Aurora Fashion Week.

I really liked the shoe on the photo in some online store, they are quite simple and classic: black suede, high-stable heels. But, honestly, it is not very convenient for me to walk in them, so these are my heels “on the way out”, so to speak.

Bomber Comptoir des cotonniers, men's sweatshirt Acne, skirt Balenciaga, decoration Maison Martin Margiela x H & M, clutch bagMaison Martin Margiela x H & M, ankle boots Dolce vita

Bomber was also purchased in the vast world wide web. After a long search for a simple and high-quality bomber, I stopped at Comptoir des Cotonniers, a French brand with understandable and wearable things.

As I already said, the most comfortable things in my wardrobe that you always want to wear are boyfriend's jeans and men's sweatshirts. The Acne men's gray sweatshirt is a versatile item that is always with me on all trips.

A big iron "piece" on the neck and a clutch-candy is one of those things, in addition to the body, which I won with a fight in the morning on the day of the start of sales of Maison Martin Margiela for H & M. Serious fights broke out over the clutch candy with further attempts to barter a thing or even a collection of things for a clutch. But thanks to my friends who managed to take one for me, and I did not have to bargain.

Cloak Armani Exchange, T-shirt 3.1 Phillip Lim, trousers Zara, boots Alexander Wang, a bag Alexander Wang

This cloak has been around for many years, but I still wear it - I have such long-livers in my wardrobe, but there are quite a few of them. I like the unusual embroidery on it and, of course, an interesting color range. In addition, it can be combined with both light, feminine things, and with leather pants and a massive bag.

A 3.1 Phillip Lim T-shirt truly requires special attention because of the finish, which makes it very fragile. But, again, the thing occupies a worthy place among the loved ones both in color and unusual style.

Shoes and bag from you know who. I posted the photo of the bag in my blog as one of the things on my conditional wish list, and soon my friend gave it to me for my birthday. It was very nice and very awkward at the same time!

As for the shoes, I hope that, nevertheless, they are not covered with pony fur, but this is something else. In any case, they look like fur claws, which I like.

The dress Monki, boots second hand, backpack no name,decoration Maison Martin Margiela x H & M

Monki is my favorite mass-market-brand, it is a pity that it is not for sale in Russia, otherwise I would have bought almost everything there!

I bought shoes a couple of years ago in the second on Udelnaya for 300 rubles, if I'm not mistaken. They are my size, 35, and they are child boys. I would like to wear them more often, as they are very versatile and really good in quality, but I confess that they are a bit small for me.

Knitted backpack with rabbit fur always causes a wild emotion in children when I appear somewhere with him. I often ride a bike and take this funny backpack with me. Yes, and I also have a funny bike and a small white strida, so the joys of children have no limits when I ride a bike through the park with such gadgets.

Well, the latest acquisition from the collection of Maison Martin Margiela x H & M. Pendant on the neck with a strand of hair of some rival-brown-haired.

The dress Tory burch ankle boots Zara, matryoshka ornament from the gift shop Beluga

This dress is a gift from my young man. He likes the way I look, and he always supports me in my outfits a la "metal bum-dom" (s), as someone commented on my photos on my blog, but probably at some point and he wanted to see me in something more gentle and feminine. It seems to me that the prints on the dress are very sophisticated: they are elephants and longitudinal stripes.

Everyone scolds the quality of shoes from Zara, but these shoe boots are about three or four years old, and they have been preserved in my excellent condition. So do not promise.

I bought the pendant in the form of a nested doll in the largest and most beautiful souvenir shop in St. Petersburg - Beluga. It cost only a couple of dollars, but it is very supportive of my Russian mentality, which in no way matches the appearance.

Sunglasses (from left to right, top to bottom): Linda Farrow, Asos, Asos, Monki, Super, Asos, Asos, Ray Ban, Flea Market

Mickey Mouse Glasses Linda Farrow wore once for a small photo shoot for a blog in the Philippines. Asos' mirror glasses, carried them all last summer, round seem to me "normal", but people on the street react to them differently. I got other glasses from the British online store from my boyfriend, and I bought the last ones, as you can guess from their form, with the others, and I don’t even remember if I wore them at least once. The Monki white-rimmed glasses have a very good frame shape, but, unfortunately, they turned out to be completely short-lived: one fall - and immediately a chip. Points Super - and really super, very high quality, comfortable and excellent form. Ray Ban - in form it is a classic weifier, but the rim is very girlish - with color inserts. The “stone” glasses from China are really made of some kind of stone and very heavy, they were bought at the flea market from my grandfather, who in appearance could well have known Confucius.

Clock (from left to right): Casio, Casio, Casio, Appetime, Casio; perfume (from left to right): Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Kenzo

Casio colored rubberized fit almost everything, and they are not as boring as some classic models. In the clock, I rather focus on Roman Abramovich: so that I do not have to gloss over the awkwardness in Photoshop. Watch Appetime "Watermelon" - summer on hand does not hurt. Casio gold watches are small and neat, the only more or less classic watches I have.

Light, sweet smells, for me it is important that the aroma was unobtrusive. For example, Marc Jacobs Daisy, Balenciaga Paris, Kenzo Eau De Fleur Silk.

Doll handmade

Ulyana doll was specially made for me by Polina. I think she really looks like me, and everything in it is thought out to the smallest detail: with incredible accuracy, Polina reproduced one of my images. And I will say in secret that the doll even has beautiful underwear.

Shoes (from left to right): boots Jeffrey Campbell, ankle boots Jeffrey Campbell, ankle boots Topshop, ankle boots Alexander Wang

Beige and khaki are my favorite colors right after black and gray. It is a pity that light suede shoes can be worn well in Petersburg several days a year.

Sneakers, boots, Native and other comfortable shoes - for a relaxed mood and a lazy weekend.

What could be better than black shoes? Only black shoes.
