When I went to kindergartenMom went to cutting and sewing courses, so I was the brightest girl. I had new things every day and dresses of all colors of the rainbow. In the summer, mom sewed us the same outfits - it was great! Then, at school, the children paid attention to me, but did not offend. Character and the presence of an older brother. I still tried to merge with the others, chose black clothes. From the seventh grade I started to wear shoes on a high platform - there was no talk of convenience.

It became easier in college: everyone around was different and tried to stand out. I also started experimenting with hairstyles and clothes, but in the end I came to a calm style. Then I bought all the things mainly in the children's department Zara. It was in college that I began to participate in photography - they became my space for self-expression.

After I entered a motion designer in St. Petersburg. The first days my legs ached terribly because of the shoes on a high platform, but I continued to flaunt putting painkillers injections. Then the guy from the hostel, where I lived during the entrance exams, presented me with my first "nikes" with the words: "Stop suffering." Why no one said that in sneakers so comfortable? Now though I go in sneakers, I still choose couples with the platform - quite uncomfortable on a flat run too. I order all shoes on the Internet from China, Germany or Korea.

I moved to the very peak of Little Big popularity, so I constantly caught admiring glances on the street and received compliments. I am grateful to the guys from the group - because of them, people began to perceive such “babies” differently, like me. It seems to me that in St. Petersburg many people try to stand out in a large flow of people with the help of clothes, and I don’t even need to put effort into it: no matter how I am dressed, I will still be remembered for a lifetime.

Since my childhood I loved Vogue, but I myself did not know how to work with images. I was lucky to meet Olya Slovo: thanks to her courses, I learned how to make literate bows. For example, jackets appeared in my wardrobe because of her. Of the designers, I love Raf Simons very much - I even knit balaclaves, inspired by his work, and, by the way, earned good money.

Now my style goes more into the hip-hop theme, I think, this is because of the hobby of the Kardashian family. I find the sharpest things on the “Finishing” part, because the idea of conscious consumption is close to me. I think it is better to buy one good thing than ten, which will serve at best a couple of months. After the courses I started to get involved in styling, and Russian designers began to give me clothes after the shooting. The most talking things in the wardrobe are theirs.

Jacket and bag - with "Tricks", Mango T-shirt, Nike leggings, Zara earrings, sneakers from China

I just waited and monitored the Zara website when these earrings went on sale. As soon as they appeared, I just rushed and bought them.

For the specific market, I have a fixed price of two hundred rubles - I bargain to the blood from the nose. I was so trained that now I do it pretty quickly. Of course, in my wardrobe there are things and more expensive, but they are few. I also buy clothes for filming on “Finishing”, so I’m trying to save money by all means.

Chain c "fines", earrings Zara

Body brand unknown pants Kira Plastinina, shawl with "fines"

I have a lot of pants with stripes in my wardrobe, as they visually lengthen the legs.

Bomber and pants - Zara, top Stradivarius, bag from the shop "Yellow Hanger", sneakers from China

With Alena and Nadia, the owners of the vintage shop "Yellow Hanger", we met on the set and are friends now. They sell hats and balaclavas in the store, which I knitted. Waist bag they gave me.

When there is an opportunity, I try to support Russian brands - I still have a backpack of this brand. They do unkillable things: how much my burden, not a single scratch.

Ring - gift, earring Befree

Dress Befree, unknown brand Panama, sandals from China, chain "585 gold"

If I like the way a thing sits, I buy it in several colors. I had such a dress already in the black version - I wore it almost without removing the year. Of course, it has faded. Now I wear pink, I like it too, but I want to sew the same in other shades. I think this cut really suits me.

The most expensive in my wardrobe is two chains: silver and gold. One brother gave from the very first salary, and the other - from the first big salary. He is my oilman.

Turtleneck zara

This is the brightest thing in my wardrobe - while I was not quite used to it. I bring up love: I really like the turtleneck, it's just unusual.

T-shirt, pants, earrings - Befree, sandals from China

As a child, my mother and I sewed ribbons on classic trousers ourselves when it was not yet fashionable. Now I have a lot of these.

Ring - a gift, a chain c "Udelki"

Dress sewn mother, bag Mango, sandals unknown brand

My mom has golden hands: once a day, we sewed three dresses for her to shoot! This is the speed! Shooting was with Olya Word - she really helped me in the promotion. I wrote to her myself on Instagram, we talked for a couple of months, and then she invited me to a fashion styling course. Then I did not understand anything about it, but after classes I fell in love with the world of fashion. Now I plan to become a stylist.

Befree bomber jacket, T-shirt and shawl - with "Taught", bag and leggings - Mango, sneakers from China

I found the shawl on the "Finishing" for twenty rubles - the fact that it is silk, I realized at home. Everyone wants to buy it from me, but I'm not selling it! Microbags on chains is love.
