Sleeper Communications Director Nastya Ivchenko 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 Sleeper Communications Director Nastya Ivchenko.
I love fashion, but I have never taken it seriously, even though I’m a man of gloss and have been an editor in the past. Now I do not track all the shows, but because of the specifics of the work, I am always aware of what is happening - sometimes I even manage to predict trends. In the spring I bought crocs, and the girls in the office cynically laughed at me. And after some time, Christopher Cane brought the models in these slippers to the podium, having won the approval of fashion publications.
I can not say that my style is fully formed. A year ago, I adored minimalism and restraint: my wardrobe consisted of black trousers, jeans and white T-shirts. Now I'm sick of sterility: I fell in love with bright colors and started wearing flashy things - surely my style will change more than once. I immediately determine whether "my" clothes or not - I will never wear the most relevant thing if I do not feel organic in it. When there is an ultimatum in front of me: beautiful or comfortable / warm - I will always choose the second. I dress up first of all for myself, so I won't leave the house in uncomfortable shoes or clothes.
I can not tolerate excessive layering, so the basis of my wardrobe is dresses. In my opinion, this is a self-sufficient thing. I love the boudoir style: bathrobes, combination dresses and pajamas. I can not imagine my wardrobe without jeans, T-shirts and spacious blouses. At the same time, there is only one skirt in my closet and there are no shorts and overalls at all. In my everyday wardrobe there is no place for sports things - in a sweatshirt and sneakers I can only be met in the gym.
I love online shopping - almost all the shoes and accessories I buy on the Internet. I have several favorite brands in which I look for things in the first place: Isabel Marant, Ukrainian BEKh Atelier and Georgian designers - I have a special passion for them. From expensive brands I am impressed by The Row, Rosetta Getty, J.W.Anderson, Chloé, Ellery. I am pleased to observe the development of a new generation of Americans: Rosie Assoulin, Mansur Gavriel, Everlane, Trademark, The Academy. I do not go around the side and flea markets; Although I do not run in the first place for the old in the new city, I still look at flea markets. Most often I buy there items for the home and interior.
Glasses Warby Parker, BEKh Atelier Parka, jeans and cap - Zara, Mango T-shirt, Isabel Marant moccasins
I have long been a fan of Isabel Marant. I am inspired not only by her clothes, but also by herself. I remember stumbled upon one of the editions of Harper's Bazaar on the section about the daily routine of designers with her participation: I read it with ecstasy and even kept the text. This pair of pony leather moccasins is one of the most beloved ones. Inside they are leather and very soft, I can walk in them all day long - it feels like you are wearing slippers. Most of all I like to combine them with these black jeans. They were long for me, and I cut them off myself - I like the way it happened.
T-shirt Syndicate, custom-made skirt, Zara shoes, Silhouette earrings
This is the only skirt in my wardrobe. I sewed it to order from my favorite Jacquard. T-shirt from the men's line of the Ukrainian brand Syndicate - he was the first to take on Kiev street fashion. I saw it on the site and immediately bought it, because everything is cool in it.
Bathrobe Sleeper, glasses Prada, jeans Zara, flip-flops Lalo
It has long been noticed that I go warm colors. Therefore, when Sleeper released the autumn-winter collection, without hesitation I bought this dressing gown of ocher velvet with silk trim. It looks especially good in a pair with Lalo slippers made of black wool with gold splashes.
Dress Atelier Kikala, sandals Zara
I opened Georgian designers after a recent trip to Tbilisi. From there, unfortunately, she left without acquisitions due to a very modest choice in the local concept stores. Fortunately, an amazing Marque Space space was opened in Kiev with a very good selection - with its help I started my collection. This silk Atelier Kikala dress was my first purchase. When I saw him, I immediately realized that I could not continue living without him. I often visit here to replenish my wardrobe with two of my favorite Georgian brands: Atelier Kikala and Lalo. I also admire the latter because he created his completely unique style. I really want to meet his creator Lalo Dolidze.
BEKh Atelier dress, Uterqüe boots
I will not hide the fact that the basis of my wardrobe is the stuff of the Ukrainian brand BEKh Atelier. If I need something solid, I come to the studio to the designer and my good friend Masha Beh - rarely go out without shopping. I love this brand for quality and ability to work with details, and I think Masha is a very talented designer. This silk dress with a zapah is my ideal option for dating or wine in the company of best friends.
Dress Lalo, sneakers Isabel Marant
This airy Lalo dress reminds me of a cloud. I wear it in a pair with suede sneakers Isabel Marant. They are completely unkillable: I fell into them under heavy rains, snowfalls, and even climbed a mountain on one of my trips. Slight abrasions only added to their steepness.
Lalo sweater, Prada glasses, Sleeper combination dress, Uterqüe boots, Sofio Gongli ring
I have a complicated relationship with sweaters, but this one is a true work of art. I like its pale pink color and the appliqué in the form of small pompons. The black enamel ring is the work of the famous Georgian jewelry designer Sofo Gongliashvili, the author of the brand Sofio Gongli.
Dressing gown sewn in atelier, Uterqüe boots, Schiaparelli scarf
This is one of the things tailored. The boudoir style is close to me, and this model can be worn both as a dress and as a coat-robe. She is very warm and will help to create a classy look even in the most severe frosts. I wear it with a silk scarf Schiaparelli, which I found in one of the vintage shops.
Man Repeller Cap, Lalo Sweater, Giorgio Armani Jeans, Isabel Marant Sneakers
The cap was presented to me by the editors of Man Repeller. I adore their team led by Leandra Medin. It seems to me that she is the only blogger who managed to create a full-fledged and influential media resource about fashion. This gift is a great joy and honor for me.
Points Céline, Prada, Warby Parker
Silhouette Earrings
Silhouette Stars Earrings, Dior Blade Pendant, Guzema Jewelry Necklace, Vintage Hoop Earrings Purchased at Istanbul Flea Market
Blouse Atelier Kikala
This creation of Lado Bokuchava for Atelier Kikala is the hardest thing I have ever worn. When I put it on, I feel incredible. It seems to me that it was created with great love.
Guzema Jewelry Necklace
My good friend Lera Guzema, a girl with an incredible taste, works on the Guzema Jewelry brand. Despite the fact that I have a rather complicated relationship with a jeweler, I fell in love with this golden necklace with feathers at first sight.
