Editor Marie Claire Svetlana Vorontsova-Velyaminova 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. Our heroine, Svetlana Vorontsova-Velyaminova, senior editor of Marie Claire magazine, spoke about the perfect pair of black shoes, love for Russian designers, and how to wear berets with sneakers.
Sweatshirt Nina Donis, Uniqlo pants, Michael Kors ankle boots, Karen Walker glasses, Timex watches
The duet of Nina and Donis is our everything. Nobody argues with the fact that they are the best Russian designers. Training for some reason is considered a synonym for defeat, but in general I am for simple and comfortable things. I wear them with a sweatshirt to relax from fashion, on weekends. On the other hand, a person is told a lot by the way he dresses in his weekend. Points Karen Walker bought a couple of years ago. Like their strict but strong form. I recently bought several pairs of Michael Kors shoes at a utopian low price. These are the simplest.
LES 'top and pants, Louis Vuitton bracelet, Yves Saint Laurent shoes
My last two purchases are things of Russian designer Lesya Paramonova. I like Lesin's ideas: fairy tales, prints with flowers, grass, moss and so on. This LES 'costume is my favorite in the new Monstrology collection, it is very relaxed. I wear with heels and always with decorations. I'm not a big fan of colored shoes, perhaps the only exception - these are from purple suede. I really wanted to have any thing from the joint collection of Louis Vuitton with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, no matter what, just to remember. So this bracelet appeared.
Coat A.P.C., untitled beret, sneakers Adidas Stan Smith
Coat of Parisian brand, led by Jean Thuit, bought on the same day as she cut off the bangs - it fits this hairstyle, it has something from the English mods. It is compact, with slightly shortened sleeves (and conceived) and such a beautiful wine shade. Wearing an A.P.C lookbook here. - with sneakers and beret. The coat is in fact a rare color, and finding a beret for a monophonic bow turned out to be another quest. Generally, berets are cool, let's all wear berets. And tennis sneakers. By the way, these are the Adidas Stan Smith worn by Phoebe Failo, Marc Jacobs and Raf Simons. Where are we to them, but we can at least buy the same sneakers.
Coat Stella McCartney, skirt American Apparel, shoes Marni
In fact, the coat is a sweater covered in gold paint. Created, apparently under the influence of Russia, it resembles the dome of the Orthodox Church. No one believes that this coat can be worn in real life. Once, in the editorial office, he was nearly sent back to Stella, mistaking the thing for shooting. But I still make attempts to go somewhere in it and even drove a coat to his homeland, to London, but also in vain. There, my friend Anna convincingly asked him not to wear a walk with the words: "I love you very much, but I have a hangover and I’m not ready for such attention to us today."
White shoes from the collection of Consuelo Castiglioni on the topic of post-power woman - gentle and beautiful, innocent and pure. I got it while working in Vogue: Katya Mukhina bought them, but her shoes did not fit in size, as they turned out to be the topic of office distribution. Then, when someone from the publishing house saw these shoes on me, I would definitely say: “I hate you, I wanted to buy them myself”. American Apparel pleated skirt with a length slightly above the knee is a perfect everyday option, I have several different colors.
LES 'dress, Nike sneakers
This is Lesina collection about lightness, transparency and sweetness (almost cloying). For me, this is a way to show how ideally I can be magical, airy and soft, but in the real world I have to be different. Sundress is absolutely mine, useful in summer, but I will wear it with brutal boots. Sneakers bought at FOTT on the same day they appeared there to wear with a white monolook. I like the now fashionable combination of white and silver.
Dress Sasha Wider, boots A.F. Vandevorst
This dress is a young Moscow designer Sasha Weider. Untreated ragged edge, as in the 90s, is a tribute to the trend, such is lack of integrity. But I was more attracted by the silhouette - simple and expressive. What I do not exactly like is “fast fashion” and a lot of excess. I am a minimalist and I choose things consciously. I try to follow the advice of Vivienne Westwood: "Buy less, choose better and do it yourself." I usually do this, but there are also quite wild purchases like a golden coat, because sometimes you want a little bit of freedom in order not to get bored.
Jockey boots are pornographically expensive, but in the end they pay for themselves. They are universal and always relevant. And this is better than a few pairs of high heels that gather dust in the closet.
Marni shirt, Adidas sneakers, shorts, visor
I love white and blue blouses and shirts. I had a rather impressive collection of men's shirts, but they all died when a red sock hit the washing machine. And this happened exactly in this season, when everyone followed Dior, Balenciaga and Valentino all experimenting with styling shirts. As a consolation, I bought a Sacai shirt and this one, I really like the short sleeve. The shorts are made of old jeans, and the visor was bought in the shop "Workwear" on Derbenevskaya Street, where you can find basic kerchiefs, visors and baseball caps of different colors for just a hundred rubles.
Nike jacket, Sasha Wider dress, Maison Martin Margiela bodysuit, American Apparel leggings, Ala bootsïa
It would seem that a bomber is such a popular thing, but finding the right one in Moscow turned out to be difficult. In order not to fall into a very sports ecstasy, I wear it with a translucent skirt. "Men's" shoes AlaïA mined on a winter sale at Aizel. Backpack bag - just a gym bag, for a shift. This is a classic normcore, costs 400 rubles in a Nike store, and there are plenty of them on the subway. Unfortunately, I have not yet found my perfect backpack.
Shoes: Michael Kors, Tatuna Nikolaishvili, A.F. Vandevorst, Alaïa
Looking at my collection of shoes, I want to ask: how much can you buy the same black shoes? But I found the perfect pair - boots with thick soles Tatuna Nikolaishvili. Like to wear them with untied laces and socks.
Perfume Byredo
I do not use fragrances except Chanel No. 5. Well, the founder of Byredo, Ben Gorham, I like endlessly, although I rarely walk his perfume.
Comme des Garçons wallet, Theo and Karen Walker glasses, Yayoi Kusama bracelet for Louis Vuitton
Comme des Garçons wallets are very comfortable, I have everything I need in them: documents, some kind of beauty stuff, a permit to work and so on. I take them with me on all trips and space flights. I have a lot of points, the most favorite are Theo with the Mondrian grid and Karen Walker. About the bracelet, I have already said, this is from the love of Yayo Kusame.
