Iskra's chef Kristina Chernyakhovskaya 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 chef of the Iskra cafe and the creator of the “Meet and Greet Open Kitchen” project Christina Chernyakhovskaya.

Clothing worried me since childhood. As a child, I put on my mother's sweaters with swan's down and waited for me to wear them to school. Since then, much has changed.

I am a minimalist. Though it seems to me that I have a strict and boring wardrobe, people around me often say that I have good taste. Same colors, same patterns. Simple cut and natural fabrics. I rarely buy something unusual or fancy: if this is in my wardrobe, then it is gifts. I love business style - I have a lot of jackets and shirts, although I have not worked in the office for many years. Even on Sunday, I can safely wear a formal suit, but with sneakers. My main love - all my relatives already laugh at this - this is COS. I like to go to the store and buy at once the shoes, socks, underwear, dress and coat that fit together. Before, I also loved JNBY very much. In my past life, when I was more relaxed, I had a lot of Barbara Bui things.

It seems to me that my work does not greatly affect the way I dress. Once I came to do the medical book, and the workers of the institution for a long time could not believe that I was a cook: "They should look different." And how correctly - I do not know.

COS dress, adidas sneakers, Urban Outfitters bag

So I look every day. I have many similar dresses. That was what was bought before closing the store in Berlin - went there for a completely different model.

The bag initially seemed to me too bright. But in the end, almost the most versatile thing in the wardrobe. For example, I go with her to the bath: it fits both a bathrobe, and a broom, and all the cosmetics. She has the shape of a traditional surfer bag, and everyone in Bali asked me if I was riding.

Sneakers ordered through the online store, not even measuring. I love flat shoes very much - to wear heels, I need a very special occasion.

Wood Wood Pants, Unknown Brand T-Shirt, Jewelery and Sandals - COS

I bought the pants by chance - I liked the free cut. I do not like tight things. A t-shirt purchased for unusual shoulders. Unfortunately, it is difficult to adapt it for my other things, so I wear it only with these trousers and another skirt.

Despite the fact that COS is not a shoe brand at all, their shoes are very good. Do not rub and do not lose the original look. For example, these sandals for many years, and they are still like new.

Victoria dress Andreyanova, vintage bag

Dress bought recently, to my birthday. I love huge dresses-bags - few people understand them, but I feel most comfortable in them. The bag looks shabby, and no wonder: it was bought at a flea market. It cost 20 dollars at the old rate. In general, usually small bags do not quite fit me: I feel like without hands without a laptop and a diary.

Gap t-shirt, vest and shoes - Barbara Bui, Marc Jacobs jeans

Favorite set. Jeans were purchased with a super-discount. I was looking for loose, good-looking jeans for every day and found. The funny shirt of a strange cut - a feeling that it is not properly sewn - I really like for this very reason. The vest is old, a gift from a friend. More often hangs and makes me happy. I wear it rarely, like shoes.

Urban Outfitters Summer Coat, Brother T-shirt, Nice Things Pants, New Balance Sneakers

Three times I went to the store Urban Outfitters and three times I could not decide whether I need this dimensionless robe or not. This is a thing in the style that I call the "tram depot": asceticism and dimensionlessness, which, I think, go to me the most. The pants were bought at the time when the urgent "need to buy something" as a therapy.

Cyrille Gassiline dress, COS boots

The dress immediately bribed the texture of the fabric - it is heavy and pleasant. I love it when your throat is tight. A stiff waist belt is another advantage. Depending on the shoe, it can be as festive as well as casual.

Skirt and shoes - COS, Cheap Monday sweatshirt, Ilya Roshke's decoration, Michiko backpack

My husband likes it when I put on bright things with prints, and I feel forty in them. But it is this combination that I like - especially in the spring. The skirt is made of fabric that does not crumple, this is its great advantage. The neoprene sweatshirt is surprisingly not hot or cold in it.

Our friend is a jeweler Ilya Roshke. He made us wedding rings, and at some point my husband asked me to make a jewelry in the form of a ladle. A backpack was presented to me by colleagues for my birthday, this is a Japanese brand brought from Bali. Very comfortable, soft skin, it contains all the "female goods", including a laptop.

Barbara Bui top, Uterqüe shorts, COS sweater, Onitsuka Tiger sneakers, bag of unknown brand

This is not a typical outfit for me - so I can only dress up for a party. My husband gives me all the strange things, I like them too, though they rush less often than others. Top - thing from the past life. I continue to wear it, but with very basic things like this sweater. Bag from Moussa Project looks like a real craft package. I always appeal to them when looking for new things in Moscow.

Vintage dress, sandals and cardigan cos

The dress was bought at the Izmailovo market by my sister's husband. He works as an architect and understands old things. His find is made of very good fabric: it does not fray, but the dress itself is not torn. Everyone asks: "Is it a COS?"

Armani Jeans dress, second-hand jacket, adidas x Stella McCartney sneakers

The dress is old, but until the fashion for sneakers appeared, I could not adapt it for anything. Therefore, at some point, he began a second life. I take to the sea, and in the city I carry with a jacket. I bought sneakers for running, but in fact I never went for a run. I am a mountain athlete.

Perfume: COMME des GARÇONS, Zadig & Voltaire, Clinique, Diptyque

The first smell that consciously came into my life was Clinique Happy. I still buy these perfumes sometimes. I had almost all the flavors of COMME des GARÇONS (even for men) that they produced. Their Zagorsk, dedicated to Sergiev Posad and smelling of incense, is perhaps my favorite. Not once heard: "They don’t go to me, but you are very good."

Badges

I have never bought a badge in my life - they are always presented. I love to hook and forget. Once a friend called her birthday and asked without congratulating: "Shukhov tower or bullfinch?" I did not understand anything, but I called a bullfinch just in case. And having already come to work in Iskra, she proudly handed me this badge. I wear it with joy.

Points: Vintage, Unknown Brand, Funk, See Concept, Unknown Brand, Сéline

I've been wearing glasses for 18 years. I tried a million different frames. This is my running set. I change them for clothes and mood. Brown - unknown brand, bought in Barcelona, in the usual optics. Cost a penny, now it's "home glasses", I sleep in them, sometimes forgetting to take off, take a shower. Green Funk - Munich brand, bought there, they have a factory near Munich, German quality, tested for themselves.

I bought vintage glasses in the frames museum in Amsterdam, I wear very rarely. Céline - a gift from her husband for the New Year, bought in Paris. They are of noble eggplant color, I wear them for meetings, as I seem to be more serious in them.
