Editor Anya Airapetova 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 editor Anya Airapetova, who told us about the finds in COS, the Moscow fashion police, love for the English style and the advantages that the overall size of shoes with her husband gives.
Usually, such a phrase is uttered by all the heroines of the transfer of the “Fashion sentence” to their total transformation, but the truth is that I need it to be convenient. I live in Tushino, 95% of the time I travel by subway, because I hate to stand in traffic jams, and I walk very quickly, so tight skirts thigh-highs and high heels will most likely never be able to settle in my everyday wardrobe (of course , birthdays and some important meetings - exceptions). I don’t stick to any one image: today I can leave the house unpainted, with a bun, in a stretched T-shirt and jeans, and tomorrow I can gather as for an interview at Condé Nast. I like English style in clothes and I don’t like vintage - in shops where it is sold, everything is usually lying around, nothing at all can be disassembled and some kind of special, incomparable unpleasant smell.
COS shirt and clutch, MaxMara pants, Lloyd boots, Jawbone UP24 bracelet, Delfina Delettrez ring, engagement and wedding rings, Auguste Reymond watch, Himère phalanges, Ginette NY ring
Shopping abroad never does without COS, from which, as a rule, I do not leave empty-handed. I really like shirts, and I immediately liked this one with its minimalism and color (I adore all shades of blue). She ironed terribly, wrinkled wildest at any touch, but I do not care. The bag is simply mega-friendly and fits everything. When I have a million things in it and I don’t have a mood to look better than I actually feel, I take a strap out of my side pocket and wear it on my shoulder. Pants-pipes are absolutely my model, and these are probably the most decent ones from my collection. The front arrow is stitched, which is very convenient, but they often have to be dry-cleaned, as the slightest stains are immediately visible on the material. I bought shoes at Rendez-Vous about three years ago. They have rather rough skin, so they immediately attracted attention.
I am an absolute child in my heart, I love all sorts of devices (read "toys"), so I could not pass by Jawbone. He watches my dream and wakes up when it is easier to wake up, in the appendix I write down the food that I eat in a day - in general, he helps me to gather and look after myself. I fell in love with a ring with an eye for a long time, but I would never have bought it myself for anything. As a result, I received it as a gift from my parents for my 25th birthday. I do not know what brand of rings that I wear on the ring finger of my right hand, but for me it makes absolutely no difference, because they always remind you of the person you love. From the age of ten, I never leave the house without a watch. This is my first "serious" watch that I chose with my parents five years ago. Their leather strap is already in an absolutely indecent way, but it does not reach the hands to replace it. The phalanx rings were made by my good friend Dina Sagidullina, who creates a very beautiful jeweler under the brand Himère. Ring with red tricks received as a gift from her husband's parents on the last birthday.
Bomber Weekday, ASOS White T-shirt, Topshop Skirt, Chelsea Dr. Martens
I have long wanted to buy a simple monophonic bomber jacket, but could not find a suitable one. In the summer in Stockholm, it was still possible to do this, and it cost something around 2,000 rubles. T-shirt and skirt are just basic things that are convenient to combine with other clothes. At the last, I discovered a small hole of unknown origin, so I had to pay it myself. Shine Dr. Martens I'm ready to sing the praises. This is really the most unkillable and at the same time very decent looking shoes that I have. No matter what dirt they visit, it’s worth a couple of times to pull the cloth away — and they shine again. I can wear them both under a pantsuit and for a walk with a dog. The pendants were given as a gift from my most generous relatives in the world - mother-in-law and aunt of her husband.
Pajamas COS, Vans Sneakers, Fjällräven Kånken Backpack
In general, this suit hung in COS in the department with ordinary clothes, so I was sure that he was from the category of "pajamas that can be worn on the street." The Moscow Metro fashion police met me in this way with her usual contempt, with which she meets everyone, for whom it is clear that they are quite happy with life. The guard of one of the stations was not even too lazy to rush out of the booth, in order to catch up with me and, gygykaya, ask the question from which zone I ran away. Then my friend sent a photo from another COS store, where you can see that this costume still hangs in the section of clothes for sleeping. But I will still go out of it in the house, because it is too beautiful to sleep in it. Moreover, after the first such experience, I have nothing to fear at all.
I really love Vans, and these are my very first "Vance" that I bought almost four years ago in Berlin. They fit absolutely everything, so they are so dead, but that’s why even more loved ones. Some unwashed oil stains appeared on them, they themselves changed color from bright blue to dirty gray-incomprehensible, and still this is one of the most beloved pairs of shoes. I like "Konkens" for their simple, understandable form and functionality, but they have become somewhat too popular in Moscow, so I mostly wear them on vacation.
Paul Smith suit and shirt, Cambridge Satchel briefcase, Nike sneakers, André Kim glasses
Paul Smith is one of my favorite brands. I love them for not being afraid to be stupid and bright, as well as for various secret jokes in clothes. This jacket, for example, has a completely lush beauty, and the back of the collar is blue-brown and striped. The collar of the blue shirt is also on the reverse side of the other, pink. I do not like the classic Cambridge Satchel model with a pocket, but I found this portfolio on their website, ordered an AZ imprint of my initials for them for an extra 10 pounds (my maiden name is Zakharova) and wear it with pleasure.
I saw men's sneakers in the “Wardrobe” of Julia Vydolob and ran into FOTT to buy them. My husband for some reason loves adidas and hates Nike, but even he sometimes asks me for permission to wear them. Yes, we both have 41-42 foot size. I bought glasses in the Ochkarik store for some very adequate money, having run around half of Moscow before this and not finding anything decent worth less than 15,000 rubles. Everybody asks me where I bought them, apparently waiting for an answer at least "at TsUM".
Fontanelli jacket, Gorky Park badge, Motorama T-shirt, Topshop jeans, Vic Matié boots
The jacket was bought very spontaneously in one of the boutiques in GUM, where a lot of leather clothes just hung on the rail. As a result, she was the coolest, beautiful and comfortable. A badge with lips and a broken tooth was presented by my friend Grigor, when he was still working in Gorky Park.
The t-shirt was presented by good guys from the Motorama group, whom I love very much. I take this opportunity to say hello to them all! On it below it says "T-shirts of the Motorama group from Rostov-on-Don". This pair is my very first skinny jeans, which I ran to buy as soon as Topshop was opened in Moscow in 2007. Initially, these were absolutely ordinary and black-black jeans, but as a result of washing and my drunken adventures in the already closed “Solyanka” four holes appeared on them and they became asphalt-colored. Shoes were also bought at Rendez-Vous, where you can sometimes find what you need. And then I needed the most ordinary high black leather shoes with laces.
MaxMara coat, H & M x VeraNastyaMisha shirt, Uniqlo jeans, Dr. boots Martens
My favorite, as if a plush coat. It is very comfortable, fits perfectly under everything and looks cool. The shirt was presented for the last birthday by my great friends Vera, Nastya and Misha. I have a dog - an English bulldog named Casper, and the guys themselves embroidered his shirt image. This is one of the most touching gifts in my life.
I somehow suddenly had a lot of jeans from Uniqlo, because there is quite a large selection of them. These are one of the collections. The boots were ordered along with the chelsea from the photo above, another unkillable pair. True, they are too big for me and my dog gnawed a backdrop on one of them, but it is not so much visible on black shoes.
Acne jacket, Uniqlo t-shirt, Nice Things pendant, Uniqlo jeans, Dr. boots. Martens
My very first Acne thing I bought three years ago in Oslo. At that time, it cost 12,000 rubles, which was then for me - and now, in principle, it is - a large amount, but he sat up so coolly that the sales consultants just stood and looked at me in silence, and my husband, who was then in the status of a boyfriend, said: "Yes, we must take."
A twig pendant bought last summer in Mallorca in a nice little shop called Nice Things, where I always manage to find something I like.
Mary Katrantzou dress, Leon SHOES slippers, Timex watches
I very seldom like things so that I can always remember them for a year, two, and so on. But I saw this dress in some blog, where there was a post about visitors to the next fashion week, and immediately took a screenshot of this picture on my tablet. About once a month I sometimes bumped into him and sighed. It cost indecently expensive, so I did not even think that someday I will buy it. But at some point everything came together: two weeks before my birthday, for which my husband just did not know what to give me, I saw this dress on some website, where it: a) was sold from 50% - No discount; b) it was on those weekends when I entered the site that the additional discount for dresses was another 30%. It eventually became a gift from my husband for my birthday.
Shoes like Birkenstock are actually my homemade orthopedic slippers. I have a second-degree flatfoot, and they are trying to fix it. Thank them for that. I saw the clock five years ago in the "Republic", but then someone bought them. As a result, I found them on some Baltic rapper site.
Dress Vika Gazinskaya, sneakers Stella McCartney x adidas Diorite Adizero
Steeper than my mom only my mother-in-law can bargain, but now it's still about mom. This dress was sold on online sales at a price almost four times lower than the original, but my mother somehow even managed to throw off another 10%.
ASOS coat, Uniqlo T-shirt, MaxMara pants, Vans sneakers, Nixon watch
This coat is my first purchase at ASOS. There were some completely mad discounts, but I just needed outerwear not in black, and I could not resist. A gray T-shirt is something I can wear absolutely every day. Hours - a gift of the mother-in-law. I wanted to find another "serious" watch, in order to alternate them with others that were completely worn out. In the end, I sat for three days on various sites to find at least something that I like, and they were the only ones.
Ann Demeulemeester Shirt
My very favorite shirt. One of the three things that I was able to buy at minus the fourth floor of Tsvetnoy during discounts. It cost more than 20,000 rubles, and I bought it for 4. Actually, it was male and it was just huge - the size L was on the labeling - but it was tailored for me, keeping the style, and I dream to wear it for the rest of my life, she's beautiful.
Kipling x Peter Pilotto Backpack, Wood Wood Belt Bag, Fjällräven Kånken Backpack
The Kipling x Peter Pilotto backpack with a space print is the most favorite backpack, as well as the only purchase made on eBay. I saw him on a good girl from Kiev and realized that he should be mine too.
Backpack Stella McCartney x adidas, backpack Fjällräven Kånken, Stella McCartney x adidas sneakers Diorite Adizero
I love things of pastel colors and two years ago I could not pass by this backpack and sneakers in Tsvetnoy. Sneakers, however, had to be searched and ordered on the Internet, because, as always, there wasn’t my big size for girls. Pink "Konken" - my first, bought it, like "Vance", in Berlin four years ago.
Tame Impala T-Shirts, Four Tet, The Smiths, Portishead, Labor
Thanks dad for insisting on my taste for music since childhood. The first Tame Impala T-shirt was brought to me by a friend Dasha from last year’s Primavera. Four Tet I once was surprised to find in Uniqlo. The Smiths bought in some store in Manchester, where they sell vinyl. Portishead was brought to me by an old friend Nikita Velichko and tried to pass it on to me for either a year or two. I got the “labor” due to the pull because I love the group “Labor” and my close friends play there. I ordered the second Tame Impala T-shirt with the cover of their first album on their website.
Bag 3.1 Phillip Lim, Prada Creeper
Even though I'm a girl, but I hate expensive bags. This is the only one I liked, and I realized that even if I have one good bag, then let it be this one. My dear mother gave the creepers when we were in Rome last spring. So far, I wore them only once, and they rubbed their legs very hard, which is basically not surprising - they don’t look like comfortable shoes.
Pendants with a bird and a bell flower, pendant with a seagull, ring o-l-o-v-o, pendant with a stone
I am very bad at remembering jewelry brands. Four years ago, a friend gave me a tea. We chose it together in Tsvetnoy together with the tree of the same company, but unfortunately it broke. I bought the ring on the "Poster Picnic" about two years ago. A very beautiful pendant with a stone was presented by friends Egor and Lyuba.
Timex watches, Nixon watches, Himère earrings
Since I began to wear an earring in my nose, I almost completely refused to have earrings in my ears, because they seem to be overkill, but these thin ringlets with pearls are the only exception.
