Lead designer and pilotess Masha Melkoyants 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 leading designer and pilotess Masha Melkoyants.
One summer, I returned to Moscow for holidays and decided that I was bored with graphic design - and entered the acting room at GITIS. However, in the end, I changed my mind and went to study further. Now it seems to me that my clothes are the unrealized acting rush, the wardrobe in the dressing room.
I love beautiful things, but I treat them simply and easily I leave them. I am pleased to give and give them to those to whom they go and need. Therefore, my wardrobe is evenly distributed between friends and mom. And what remains with me, rather about the history and functionality.
Jacket from London, a vest from a summer residence, Blundstone boots
So I look most often: multi-layered, comfortable and weather-friendly; in winter I wear a thin woolen coat on top. Jacket is already seven years old, bought it in London. There is a story connected with it: when I left the store with my purchase, I poured like a bucket, a paper bag soaked in rain and the jacket fell somewhere along the way - I didn’t immediately notice. The owner of the bar picked it up and we miraculously found it: he gave me a drink that was wet to the skin, whiskey, and then we played music until the morning.
The jacket has been heavily frayed since then, but I like it. From the dust in the desert, she turned white, and there are also “scars” on her - wired holes from the claws of Druzhka, the tender dog of my friend Zhenya Petrushansky. The poppy flower patch "slowly but surely" is from San Francisco. The jacket contains almost all the badges that I have left: some gave away at Burning Man last year. The collection, however, is constantly replenished: there is an icon from Murmansk, an icon for the four years of Enthusiast, a pin of White Russian Studio, a note of Solyanka, a Kitsuné lison, a favorite golden square-blank, an aviation badge donated by your favorite diasporal brothers - every one there is a story.
Blundstone boots - in the course and in the winter, and in the summer, and to the north, and to the desert. Verified
Hoodie Uniqlo U, Oysho Shorts, Nike VaporMax Sneakers, Acne Studios Cap
I love male Uniqlo, and this is the hoodie from the latest collection of U - for the hood, which is cool to work with, and nice accessories. Well, also for the fact that my friend Leni is the same.
Cap someone left us at home, so if there is an owner - write. Although she managed to become loved - I have funny ears sticking out of her. Shorts bought for silver, thought reflecting, but no; I run into them in the future. Sneakers are the most beautiful and comfortable, also about space. I have a special love for technological things - I train in them, dance and generally do everything.
Vintage overalls, Suicoke sandals
Combo bought on the way home from work in the ingenious store Strogo Vintage on Pokrovka. On this day, it was just the opening of the "Arrows", so I went in it. I think once it was a ski suit - it is a little ridiculous, but I like such things. Sandals Japanese brand Suicoke - a find last year; At first I saw the collaboration of this brand in St. Petersburg Mint, and then I found this laconic model. They walked with me through the desert and along the coast of the Barents Sea.
Suit I AM Studio, Oysho slippers
I always wanted a costume because it is beautiful, but I still don’t like the classic. This one is in a ridiculous form and always looks different depending on which shoe to combine it with. All autumn I didn’t get out of it - I would only wear suits and go. A silver badge was presented by a beloved friend for his birthday: an airplane - because I am learning to drive an airplane.
Lacoste Dress, Nike Sneakers
Somehow my mother and I walked past the Lacoste store, she pointed to this dress and said: "Look, what a nightmare." And I terribly liked it for its this ugly beauty, soviet. It turned out also that it is from the podium collection and only one in Russia - well, it is undone very sexy. It is ridiculous that that evening I filled it with port.
Sneakers gave the guys from Nike - this model turns forty-five years. I wear red jeans that I forgot to take on the set. Run Forrest! Run!
Dress made to order, shoes Porta 9
I was twenty-five, and I decided to order a dress, but it turned out to be a king-size bedding set. You can alter on shirts a whole group in kindergarten. Sometimes I buy five packs of chips, lemonade from a red orange, I put it on and watch a movie at home, like in the scene from Friends (they were in the wedding).
"Sweater-cat", a hat - a gift from Venice
"Sweater-cat" - the softest and warm, bought in St. Petersburg. Hat - a gift from Venice; as there are smells - teleports, and so these things transport me in time.
Grandfather's sweater
The camel wool sweater is especially dear to me: my grandfather gave it to me when I started learning to fly. In this sweater, he flew supersonic aircraft. When flying to a height of more than twelve kilometers, blue silk underwear like pajamas is worn, then a high-altitude suit is reloading to fly on supersonic, and a flying suit and a sweater on it. It also has holes for air tubes.
Hand knitted sweater
I stumbled upon it in instagram of incredible handicraft items. She came to try on, and there is an Armenian family, in which women sew and knit insane beauty. She didn’t leave right away - they didn’t get married.
Hunter boots, friend's sweater, hat by Garin
All winter went on in this sweater armor. I love him and a friend from whom this thing was shamelessly confiscated; now she is officially mine. Boots - classic; bought them when she lived in London, they make funny sounds when walking. Hat Garin - our main Moscow hat.
Mama's coat
Direct proof of the cyclical fashion. This sheepskin coat is as old as me, and Acne Studios could have been just as successful. Well, the color is beautiful.
Raincoat from Museum 59
Cloak-tent - climbed into it, and nothing is scary.
Monki Raincoat
A raincoat has been at Lake Onega, Lake Ritsa and the Barents Sea. And he also has his own hashtag, because he is very photogenic.
Headdress from Yerevan, grandmother's glasses, Max Mara coat, Massimo Dutti pants, Porta 9 shoes
So I looked in Yerevan last spring - we went to show Gosha's friend his historic homeland with my beloved neighbor Phil. On the way to Yerevan, I lost my hat, so the guys took me to the market and chose this fur pie for me. I love you friends.
Grandmother's glasses, she says, in the Emirates bought in the 80s, she has a phenomenal memory of prices. Coats from the "perfect wardrobe", where all things are beautiful, perfectly fit, fit and never go out of fashion. Pants inadvertently bought recently, like that strip of emerald. The shoes are again a bit ridiculous, that's why they are nice. My favorite picture with them is how I ride my bicycle along the embankment opposite the Kremlin.
Mother's costume from Moscow department store, Acne Studios sandals
Costume stewardess. He, too, as a teleport, in childhood, where I am five, in the New Year with the most beautiful mother in this costume. The apartment smells of tangerines, Bengal lights and its Paloma Picasso perfume, and they give me a pink monkey with a piercing in my ear. Mom bought it in the summer of 1995 in the Moskovsky department store.
Shlitza dress, Acne Studios sandals
Dress of the Moscow brand Shlitza - I wore it so much that I can no longer. The most spectacular thing in it is to ride a bike. Sandals Acne Studios saw on the site Maryam Nassir Zadeh and ordered at your own risk: the size came up and while this is my most successful high heels. True, they began to creak, but what to do?
Overalls - gift, helmet Shoei
Michael Lokshin made a commercial and sent me a photo from the shooting with the characters in these gears, knowing my love for space and silver clothes. She said that without overalls did not come. Thank you, Michael! I have one head - my head must be protected. I ride a motorcycle in it and don it when the party is at home - instead of earplugs.
Pajamas and slippers - Oysho
Pajamas - a gift from mom. In the first series of "Young Dad" Jude Law wakes up at almost the same. And there is also a funny story, as he was sitting at a party in the backyard of his friends, in a bath on the Thames cliff with a disco ball in his arms. Bath still not clean.
Asya Malbershtein Bag
In the light of recent events around the brand I want to say that things really were of high quality, and how Asya relates to her work is rare and valuable. I would like young people to be careful about important, though boring, bureaucratic issues, and the guys figured out and did wonderful things further.
Furla bag
You can not put anything in it, it alone weighs two kilograms. I like very much its massiveness and form.
Shirt - a gift
The shirt was presented to me by my beloved younger brother: for the last year he became a mad dandy - he went to the collapse and chose me this thing. Tayu, like marshmallow on the fire, when I talk about it.
Waist bag "Nikita truck"
A gift from Igor Saifullin - with him, probably, the love of silver things began. Rides with me on all travels.
Shawl from japan
A handkerchief is a souvenir from Japan of former colleague Mikhail Nisenbaum. I wear like a neck.
Accessorize bracelet, vintage clips
Bracelet for 150 rubles from Accessorize, and on the leg. I shortened it and wear it on my arm. I like such elegant things.
Clips bought on "Lambada", really liked the color. With them, you can wear even a motorcycle cover - it will still be luxurious.
Sandals Massimo Dutti
Comfortable height, beautiful color and golden sole.
