In the new material - a student of Saint Martins about his collection of military-clothes.

My collection began at that moment when I realized that in ordinary clothes I feel uncomfortable, uncomfortable and impractical. So the idea was to find something like a uniform. I started with a school uniform, then the emphasis shifted towards sportswear, and now I’ve logically switched to military.

Basically, my things are from Voentorg stores in Los Angeles, where I used to live, and London, where I study. I like military since my childhood, so I hang out all my life in hangars with military and hunting clothes and equipment. Most of all in military I like the functionality. Sometimes, when I put on a combat vest, people look at me. I think they think that I belong to an IRA or something like that.

It seems to me that military is very much in the style of Helmut Lang and Raf Simons, but on the whole, this is already a very old story. And from the new - I see more and more people who wear sportswear. Not only because street culture and street brands have a huge history here in London, but also because people are looking for something more practical, clever, simple and pleasant as opposed to clothes that shout "Look at me!" .

White fanned vest - from the military shop. It seems that this is a liner or, on the contrary, the upper part is still some kind of jacket. It fits perfectly with things of different shades of white.

A barbed wire necklace from a masquerade store in Los Angeles is not military in the truest sense, but it fits perfectly into my “military” wardrobe. I wear it almost every day. I have no tattoos, but if I ever decide, it will be barbed wire.

The black bomber jacket is a classic MA-1 model. I was so happy when I bought it, had long dreamed of such a thing. I wear it almost every day, and it already becomes a problem. He takes the military, but there is something French in it, it breaks a little. It takes about an hour to twist it on the head in front of a mirror, before going somewhere.

A khaki wool jumper with a red cross - in fact, Ralph Lauren, who would have thought.

If you turn the bomber jacket inside out, you get another item. Backpack - Supreme. I don’t really like this brand, but I respect the functionality - the main quality of my wardrobe. I bought a backpack from a guy who moved to China and got rid of all his things. He wore it many years ago when I went to school, and now I carry it to college. Actually, it's worth fixing it.

In the same bomber goes Matilda from "Leon". And I bought a vest in an impulsive rush and have not worn it anywhere. And not the fact that I wear: it is beautiful just as an object. And for life - too military.

White nylon pants are Nike, but the military has almost the same. I love them terribly, but all the time I have to wear something under them, as my legs sweat and begin to shine, haha.

I bought a black combat vest a month ago, and it turned out to be a super convenient thing for parties: you can put everything in your pockets, and you don't need a backpack.

Gray pants are Silent by Damir Doma, a friend's gift. He they were long and got me.

Vintage rubberized camouflage jacket with a hood. It seems to me that such killers are worn somewhere in deep forests.

Long sleeve and sweatshirt with cropped sleeves from a hunting store. This print is very popular in the countryside. It reminds me of the places where I was born, there were a lot of forests and vegetation.
