Stylist Misha Vedernikov 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 a lawyer by profession and stylist by vocation Misha Vedernikova.
Many years of experimenting with my appearance made me understand one thing: when choosing clothes, it is important to listen to yourself. My wardrobe was greatly influenced by the book by Marie Kondo "Magical cleaning. The Japanese art of restoring order at home and in life." I always make sure that only favorite things surround me, and ruthlessly get rid of uncomfortable or disliked people, no matter how expensive they may have been for me. I devote a lot of attention and time to the choice of clothes, because what I wear is directly affecting my emotional and physical condition.
In my outfits, as in the character, there are combined "typically male" and "typically female" traits, love of freedom, self-irony, childhood, and a bit of foolishness. I love everything Japanese, but I haven’t been in Japan yet - I’m afraid to go crazy with delight. For me, comfort and comfort are important, so I do not have tight clothes and uncomfortable shoes. But practicality is absolutely not important: I buy many things solely for aesthetic pleasure and they can hang in the closet for a long time, waiting for the right occasion. My style was strongly influenced by my husband. We inspire and support each other in the most crazy endeavors. In addition to the family we also have a close creative union. Together we often travel to Berlin for fun, shopping and new ideas.
Comme des Garçons is the main name in the fashion world for me. The things of this brand make up the main part of my wardrobe, and if I'm not a collector yet, then certainly a devoted fan. They have both comfortable models for every day and real works of art. For me, this is love for life, philosophy, a tool for self-expression and just perfect sitting clothes outside fashion and time. I buy without trying any thing of almost any size and have never made a mistake.
Hours of shopping malls, second-hand and searching on the Internet for me lasting hours are a thing of the past for me - they take away too much energy, and what I bought litters my wardrobe. Now I try to turn the purchase of each thing into a holiday, I like shops with a pleasant interior and appreciate polite service.
Dress and tights - Comme des Garçons, MM6 Maison Margiela sandals, rabbit bag - gift
When I first tried on this magical dress, I felt incredible. In it, I wanted to get married, but my mother was not enthusiastic about the black color. The wedding was held in a different outfit, and the dress was waiting for me in a sale with a big discount. Heavy layers of tulle and lace were for me the ultimate dream. I wear it, putting my hands into the holes under the armpits so that the long sleeves form a cap.
I love massive shoes. These MM6 sandals are my love at first sight. They remind me of the lead shoes of the heroine of Tim Burton’s film "Miss Peregrine's House of Strange Children" - only mine are not as heavy as they look.
My instagram-friend from Kaliningrad gave me a small handbag with a rabbit when we first met in the real world. It was very nice and pleasant, considering my love for such things.
Fur Coat, Dress and Tights - Comme des Garçons, MM6 Sandals, Maison Margiela, Acne Studios Choker
I was going to buy a plush coat in Aizel, but they were ahead of me. After some time, I met her then owner, and she unexpectedly offered me a fur coat in exchange for shoes that I then sold — so I became her happy owner. I believe that the necessary things will come to me sooner or later, if we are destined to be together.
The dress from the catwalk collection Comme des Garçons is a jewel of my wardrobe. It is made from a paper-like material. Tights have two seams at the back, as in kindergarten times. It turned out an outfit that conveys my love for the pink color, and just cheerfulness. Jewelery bought Acne Studios in Berlin - I didn’t have a choker at school, so it’s time to catch up.
Comme des Garçons blouse, Jenny Fax skirt, American Apparel shorts, MM6 Maison Margiela sandals, Meadham Kirchhoff socks x Topshop
I accidentally tried on the skirt in the Air Fashion Store and fell in love. These appliqués in the form of dogs on blue tulle seized my thoughts, so I could not resist and came after the thing a few days later. The dress is inspired by images from the Jenny Fax brand, which made the skirt itself.
Acne Studios glasses, Comme des Garçons top, Maison Margiela shoes, a skirt and a scarf made by husband, Weekday earrings
The outfit was built by my husband during one of our homemade disguise mini-performances. A top from the bloody Comme des Garçons collection, a homemade towel skirt and two second-hand German scarves, stitched together and symbolizing our love for Berlin. Acne Studios accessories decorate any outfit, these glasses were worn in the summer without removing, forgetting all the others.
Maison Margiela's black tabi booties fit perfectly on your leg. I am glad that the brand has once again established the production of tabi in each collection - this is not only a fashionable classic for all times, but so far the only heeled shoes in which I am comfortable.
Maison Martin Margiela x H & M coats, Vetements clips, Hoody H & M, adidas workouts, Maison Margiela shoes
I searched for a blanket for a long time and found it on eBay at a great price. I love the classic Maison Martin Margiela, and the collaboration with H & M just repeats things that have been released once. I like comfort in everything, and the blanket perfectly emphasizes this.
Hoodie found at H & M at a great price. It is cool because it is very voluminous and wide down, as I like. Adidas trainers dragged from her husband until he bought me the same ones. An indispensable thing in our time: take a walk with a dog, and wear an evening dress.
I do not like traditional jewelry, all my costume jewelry is more like a piece of iron. Vetements clips were purchased for a special occasion as an exception. They are very beautiful, always collect compliments and make solemn even a tracksuit. No matter how cool they looked at the disco, dancing in them is uncomfortable - they easily fly off the ears.
T-shirt and dress - Comme des Garçons, adidas workouts, Maison Margiela shoes, Ashley Williams bag
This is my wedding dress, worn inside out. When my mother asked me not to marry in a black dress, I without thinking twice ordered it on Farfetch. Its inside is embroidered with roses, and I pulled up a little hem to show them to everyone, and now I prefer to turn it completely outwards.
Bag-cat bought in Au Pont Rouge during a trip to St. Petersburg. She won me over at first sight and still continues to amaze with her amazingly crazy look. Despite its rather big price, it has already begun to fall apart - one ear is held on pins. Well, apparently, such a character.
Maison Margiela beige tabi is part of my wedding dress, which pretty much amused my relatives. I like the fact that they make the leg look like a hoof: the goat is my favorite animal, and I like the slight resemblance to it.
Jacket and pants - Comme des Garçons, Balenciaga shoes, Hood By Air chain
At first I had this jacket from the collection of The Infinity of Tailoring, each exit in which is a real holiday. He was praised by everyone - from grandmothers to homeless people in Berlin. For me, this is a work of art. I can’t imagine how it is sewn. Pants bought for him later, and for good reason - everything looks incredible together.
Hood By Air locks were bought for a couple with her husband at Au Pont Rouge, when they were already sold out all over the world. Mine is decorated with rhinestones and yellow metal, it turns out a real rapper chic. I'm a big fan of the HBA, I love their provocative stuff and cool shows.
The stunning Balenciaga boots are very comfortable, and my height in them is close to two meters, so that I can easily wipe the dust from the upper shelves. I was lucky with the 41st size - I can grab the last pair at a normal price.
Jacket and sundress - Comme des Garçons, earrings from Berlin, shoes Maison Margiela
This sundress is my favorite item from the collection of the 18th Century Punk and an unexpected birthday present for my husband. The first way out in it made my day truly special, I even shed a tear of happiness, so I felt harmoniously in it. It is super-volume and elegant, and at the same time universal. Under the dress easily fits, for example, this jacket made of wool and silk in the Chinese style. Both things are part of my working uniform for office work. Black pugs earrings are dedicated to Martin, my girlfriend's dog.
Blouse H & M, Maison Margiela skirt, Balenciaga shoes, Vetements earrings
Skirt in the form of cut-out trousers at home Margiela under the guidance of Galliano. Honestly, I still don’t understand how to fasten it properly and why it is of such incredible length. It is absolutely necessary to attach the instruction to such things. Very much a complicated thing, but this and cool.
Vintage Burberry Trench Coat, Wanda Nylon Dress, Weekday Earrings, Balenciaga Shoes, Hood By Air Chain, Comme des Garçons Bag, Dima Shabalin's Cap
My mom bought this big man's trench coat in a Crimean second for a hundred rubles. Since all the men in the family had refused him, he lay crumpled in the closet for a long time until I found him and decided not to try it on. Miraculously, he sat perfectly - just the way I wanted.
A dress of pleasant oilcloth has been with me at various discos - from Outline to Berghain. Most of all I like his high gate.
A cap with the inscription "Com de Garson" begged from friends, she reminds me of the coolest party of last summer. After she had to wash the cap, so she sat down a bit, but this did not make me any less expensive. Weekday snap earrings get lots of compliments and questions. Externally massive, they are actually light. This is my only bag that looks like a bag. I like the combination of bamboo with iron chains on the handles.
MM6 Maison Margiela denim jacket, American Apparel bodysuit, Gosha Rubchinskiy pants, Maison Margiela shoes
This denim jacket with a surprise - on the one hand there is no sleeve. Probably, it was possible to do this independently, but I'm not a needlewoman at all. Training - my first thing Gosha, I try to keep up with youth fashion. In fact, they are just voluminous, comfortable and warm - that’s what you need to combine with such an open body. This is one of the bows, inspired by the Berlin weekend.
Sretsis Clutch Bag, Pink Fluffy Dresscamp Bag
Both bags are purchased from the Air Fashion Store. They are pink and fluffy, and this is the most important thing.
Hat mochasse
Also bought in the Air Fashion Store in a particularly good mood - real Japanese trash and chic.
