Interview Brand Manager Masha Eshchenko 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 Masha Eshchenko, Interview magazine brand manager.
Style is something that ripens in you over the years. My underwent many stages of transformation, but now my relationship with things is more business and pleasant than complex. I rarely dress in advance. I began to approach consumption consciously and buy only the things I really need. The necessary, by the way, do not cancel the prefix "beautiful." Most purchases take place on trips, but due to the lack of free time, I began to give preference to online shopping and trusted brands.
Every thing in the wardrobe I wear with dignity and pleasure. I am able to get dressed and gather in 20 minutes. I believe that the process of selecting the right bow should be fun and fast. Despite the bohemian lifestyle in my area, I can afford to go out in baggy pants and a black coat with a baguette. Still, style, in my opinion, is how you feel about what you are wearing.
Multiface top, Guess vintage jeans, Prada shoes
Beige is not my favorite color, it just so happened that it is more suitable for blondes, but in the nude shade I allow myself a lot and often. For example, this top Russian brand Multiface is a very self-sufficient thing in itself and often attracts the attention of others. I wear it with vintage jeans Guess, which, as befits a real jeans, made in the USA. Shoes - my first serious purchase in times of frequent trips to Milan. After fitting, they were completely uncomfortable, but they were beautiful - you can stand and smile in them endlessly. What I often do.
Dress "Of course", shirt Kuraga, bomber and shoes Zara
This bow is my interpretation of the Walk of Shame. Elegant and comfortable at the same time. There are a lot of Russian designers in my wardrobe, I generally like to discover new names. This dress is no exception. I bought it on Lambada Market for some funny money. In winter, she often wore it at home to feel the approach of spring. I really want to wear it on someone's wedding, however, there was no reason yet.
Zara shoes are perhaps the most comfortable pair of shoes in my wardrobe, they have worn out pretty, but I just can’t find a replacement for them for the second year in a row. From this I love them even more. An ideal bomber jacket is as difficult to find as perfect jeans. I have long dreamed of a classic military color with an orange lining, but have not yet found the “same” one, and this black one fits perfectly with monochrome bows.
Monki jeans, Uniqlo t-shirt, Theory jersey, Massimo Dutti shoes, scarf no name
In Uniqlo, I go steadily twice a year to buy a basic sweater and T-shirts in three basic shades: black, white and gray. I always take one size larger so that it is comfortable and free, I don’t like tight fitting things.
The dry jacket, in my opinion, is the most important thing in the wardrobe of both men and women. Ideally, of course, it should be wiped out and not the first freshness, but I did not manage to find a decent one at the flea markets in different European countries. I had to buy in the online store. Brand Theory is famous for its leather goods, this jacket made of genuine calf leather is direct evidence of that. I wear everything from light dresses to voluminous sweaters and constantly collect compliments. I am also often embraced in it, which is undoubtedly a significant plus.
Yves Saint Laurent Vintage Trenchcoat, All Saints Top, Zara Pants, Aldo Shoes
For a long time I was engaged in photography, from there I love Helmut Newton and his Berlin period. This bow is a direct reference to those times. The cloak found in one of the famous vintage spots in Munich, it cost very little for such a thing. It is a bit too big for me, but this is all the buzz, I rarely wear it, since it is very difficult to combine it with everyday things. I supplement the set with classic black shoes and sometimes red lipstick.
Multiface Belt
I rarely wear accessories, I am always uncomfortable in them. This belt is another matter, fits everything, especially black and white images. I wear both with heels and ballet shoes. And made by the hands of your favorite friends.
Top, skirt, leggings - all COS, Zara shoes
COS is the must visit of any trip to Europe. I am a fan of their cut and conciseness, but, honestly, I really hope that the brand will not be represented in Russia. So I probably look every day, and at work in the editorial board I can often be found in men's shoes. In general, duality in the wardrobe is characteristic of me: heels and light dresses are replaced by leather jackets and coarse shoes. Skirt - my recent purchase, I feel in her like in uniform, for that she chose it.
Monki jeans, monks Alexander Wang, Uniqlo t-shirt, Multiface raincoat
Monki produce perfect shaped jeans. Each model sits on me like a glove. I buy jeans only there, and the quality for the mass market is very decent. Alexander Wang shoes bought at a discount on Net-A-Porter, I wear them in the spring with a light raincoat and a black coat. This is one of the favorite pairs of shoes, the best example of men's monks with an adaptation for women.
Separately, I want to say about the cloak of silk organza of the Russian brand Multiface. My friend Dasha Markova makes a stamp, and I often manage to purchase or try on new copies first. I am in love with every thing, I will wear this raincoat all summer without taking off.
Monki jeans, Uniqlo T-shirt, Cyrille Gassiline coat, Zara shoes
Red is my favorite color, I guess. And he damn me goes in different variations. I love Cyrille Gassiline very much and often look to them in the showroom at Trekhgorka to try on a new dress or coat. It’s rare to wear this coat with Moscow weather, but in the fall I caught a couple of weeks of sunshine and warmth so as not to crawl out of it. I feel myself in it as in a blanket - really cozy and comfortable.
Top no name, Wrangler vintage jeans, Prada shoes
The perfect flared jeans, in my opinion, should be only vintage. I bought this pair of Wrangler in Amsterdam. They are very narrow and sometimes require great effort to squeeze into them. I put them on, just knowing that I do not plan to eat after six. I wear mostly with this top so as not to cut the proportions, the top is also from Amsterdam by an unknown brand of local designers. 100% neoprene, which is not always comfortable to wear, but the color is painfully beautiful.
Monki jeans, COS top, Alexander Wang monks, COMME des GARÇONS bag, Marni decoration
This is my work uniform. I spend a lot of time at meetings with partners, so I try to pick up clothes so that I can go directly to an event or an exhibition opening from work. I always have a fresh issue of the magazine with me, you never know who you will meet or cross.
The COMME des GARÇONS bag is very spacious, I even somehow manage to put a laptop there. Marni is my favorite brand, everything close to me that Consuelo Castiglioni does, especially accessories. The brand in Milan has a cool warehouse, I often go there during trips.
Top Ready To Fish, Kuraga Culottes, COS Shoes
So I always want to walk - easy and convenient. Top bought in one of the trips to Paris, you can wear it only in spring and summer. I consider it rather a self-sufficient accessory than a thing. Culottes from the new collection of the Russian brand Kuraga, which are also made by my friends (I am lucky with my friends!), Look great with both heels and flat shoes. And these COS flats always fly with me on trips as the most comfortable pair of shoes in my wardrobe.
Lemaire pants, body Uniqlo X Lemaire, Zara shirt, adidas Originals sneakers Stan Smith
My favorite movie is "Annie Hall" by Woody Allen. I am often compared to the main character, and to many, Diane Keaton reminds me of me when I was young. Of course, I am pleased, and this bow is a direct reference to the film. Trousers - a find in one of the concept stores, I got almost for nothing, their shore, and very often the burden of dry-cleaning - get dirty instantly.
The turquoise bodysuit from the latest collection of Christophe Lemaire for Uniqlo perfectly emphasizes the color of my eyes. And Stan Smith is the only shoe that I wear with anything. That's just the time to buy a new pair.
Woody Allen movie collection, Diane Keaton's autobiography "Then Again", Let Me See Sun glasses, Marc Jacobs perfume
These four subjects are answers to the blitz survey. Favorite director - Woody Allen, favorite actress - Diane Keaton, favorite perfume - Marc Jacobs, favorite glasses - Let Me See Sun. Glasses bought in Colette, a suitable replacement for the classic Ray-Ban.
Prada shoes
Miuccia Prada is my role model, a woman with an amazing sense of style and dignity. Like all Italians, she knows a lot about good shoes. This pair is no exception. Love, what else to say.
