Julia Vydolob, journalist and editor-in-chief of the Fott website
FOR RUBBER "WARDROBE" we take pictures of beautiful, original or strangely dressed people in their favorite things and ask them to tell related stories. The heroine of the new material Julia Vydolob showed us dresses and tops of Nina Donis with vintage Ralph Lauren and told us about where to find the perfect sneakers.
Uniqlo dress, Nike sneakers, Longines watch, vintage bracelet
In Uniqlo a huge number of all macro and micro projects with designers. It is impossible to keep track of them all, it is better to just rely on luck. This dress is such a success: rarely where you will find for a little money a dress shirt made of cotton, of good length (not a pop short, but a correct midi) and with carefully adjusted details imitating a classic men's shirt: there are even wedges on the hem.
Sneakers from the joint collection of Nike and the founder of the brand Undercover Juna Takahashi. Without knowing anything about this line, I found them in the Nike Stadium store in Milan. The inscription Gyakusou is the name of the Tokyo Racing Club, to which Takahashi belongs. Beautiful collection, although I do not run. This is a male couple, ironically it is she who sits on me wonderfully, and this is also ideal, light and breathable, summer sneakers - however, it is better not to step on puddles in them, since the moisture instantly falls into the holes on the sole.
Classic Longines - a gift to dad. I have long dreamed of the most neutral hours, which only happen to fit everything and never bother. It's them. I wear them every day.
The bracelet is one of the few vintage items from the period of my life when I was very fond of all this and even led my own corner of vintage clothes in the Nastya Sartan Trends Brands store. Now she got sick, almost not wearing and not looking for vintage, but some favorite things settled in the wardrobe.
Gitman Vintage x FOTT shirt, Levi's jeans, Nike sneakers, Porter backpack
This shirt is made by Gitman Bros. in pennsylvania especially for our store. When I saw this shirt in the pictures, I realized that I needed it. I ran to the warehouse, asked me to postpone it, since I was leaving on the day of release. This is an amazing thing, people look back at it and cannot take their eyes off. I recently found myself in this shirt in the London store Margaret Howell, and one of the vendors assured me that she had a dress made from such fabric in her childhood (about 40 years ago and in London).
Levi's 501st model, despite its popularity, does not paint a female figure, to put it mildly. Especially since I have a male version that adds a pair of sizes to the hips. But we have grown together with these pants so that I can’t imagine myself without them. I love them more than all sexy skin.
I bought Nike Vintage Waffle Racer in our store. I fell in love with them a few years ago, when at the Nina Donis show, all models came out in colorful sneakers from the Nike Vintage series (note that it was long before all the girls began to wear sneakers with dresses). They are incredibly comfortable, and they have some discreet charm of the 70s.
I was looking for a backpack for a long time: the moment came when you no longer needed 10 things, you need one, but perfect. All that I came across was either too pretentious, or, on the contrary, corny, or without a soul. At some point, I received a letter from my husband: there was a link to the oki-ni website and the text: "A simple black nylon backpack, but made by meticulous Japanese." In general, this is all about him and reports.
Barena jacket, Levi's jeans, Carhartt WIP T-shirt, Superga sneakers, Cutler and Gross glasses
Maria Ter-Margaryan brought me to this jacket, and to the brand. Barena are amazing people, their designer is sitting and himself is developing in Venice soft natural fabrics, such as, for example, linen knitwear, from which this jacket is sewn. He has a wonderful shabby look, and it is comfortable even in the hellish heat.
Jeans Levi's Curve ID was presented to me in London Levi's when they launched this line. All Curve ID pants are divided into three groups depending on how much your hips are wider than your waist. These are the most comfortable jeans - you can sleep in them, as in pajamas. I have several different pairs: I can buy jeans from this line without fitting.
T-shirt and sneakers - from the FOTT store: just a nice white T-shirt with a pocket, made of fine cotton, and classic sneakers with natural rubber soles, in which I happily spent the whole summer.
I bought a frame a few years ago in London, in a small brand shop. Since then, this is my favorite frame, although before it was already three or four.
Nina Donis Dress, Nike Sneakers
In this velvet dress, I spent most of the winter and now, when it has become cooler, I gladly fit into it again. It is more versatile than blue jeans: I go there for work, for parties, and for bread shopping, carrying a child in a backpack. Many beautiful things are very binding, and this dress is not like that: it is beautiful, everyone notices it, but it is incredibly comfortable in it.
Topshop Unique dress, vintage Ralph Lauren blazer, Trickers boots, Louis Vuitton bag
I accidentally got one of my favorite dresses: I bought it through a meet-my-ex from a friend and have been wearing it ever since. It is unusually arranged: sewn bright side inside. With this dress shirt, it is terribly feminine due to its translucency.
The smooth wool blazer instantly brings into the image a charm of preppy or, as in this case, gives a similarity to a schoolgirl. Both, in my opinion, not bad.
Shoes bought in the same store in London. He is tiny, with respectable sellers, with special chairs for fitting, there is even a couple of laces to buy.
Louis Vuitton - the result of the search for the perfect bag, the one to buy once - and walk with it until retirement. Apparently, the speed and variety of the fashion industry influences me so much that lately I want to surround myself with just such things. In general, nothing better than a model invented for LV by director Sofia Coppola was not found. I bought it from the second time: the first time, having already come to the store and standing in line at the cashier with the check drawn, I began to panic at the fact that I’m now spending so much money on a bag. In general, I apologized and ran away. To the credit of the seller, she smiled amiably and invited me to come in again. Probably enough has already seen crazy women. A few months later I bought it and did not regret it: it withstands the toughest conditions of operation and looks amazing. And for several years now, bags don't interest me at all. Only one leather tail with a zipper fell off, but they promised to replace it with me for free in the Moscow store.
Lanvin x H & M dress, Robert Clergerie shoes, Maison Martin Margiela bag, 1064 ° Goldsmiths Guild earrings
I follow all the designer collections H & M, and Lanvin, of course, one of the most successful. Everyone asks what kind of dress it is. Something amazing always happens to me in it: then I get to a brilliant banquet in Paris, then sprawling on the bathroom floor, hugging the toilet after a merry birthday of friends, and my husband carefully slips a pillow under me so that I won't freeze on cold floor. And these rigid sleeves stick out, as if sitting in a bathtub with a huge foam.
The Robert Clergerie brand is one of my favorites, they are equally able to make classic sexy and strange asexual shoes. I remember going to the store for something practical, and I bought high-heeled shoes, which I rarely wear.
A leather foil clutch was presented to me, and he seems to be beeping if you walk with him through a metal detector.
MHL Skirt, H & M Shirt, Tod's Loafers, Vintage Coach Bag
British designer Margaret Howell’s MHL line is sold at FOTT, my husband wears her, and I like her, but I only managed to get to women's clothes in London. The picture shows a working uniform: what I wear recently, when I don’t know what to wear, or when I have to quickly run out of the house. The perfect skirt of thick, hard twill, from which the work pants sew. I go to her and go to work, and to the park on the grass with a child to wallow - she doesn’t care.
Men's H & M shirt - top of correctness and neutrality: they have such good luck in the denim department.
The perfect pair of lofters. Their soles are rubber, their skin is thick, just right for Moscow. It would be my will, I would, in addition to sneakers, wear only loafers. But it’s not easy to find such that the terms were good, so for now I have two pairs: this is one of them.
Coach now became terribly poppin, but they made such bags a few decades ago. Inside each bag (I saw a lot of them while I was engaged in vintage things) it was forced out that it was made in the USA.
COS jacket and pants, Chloé shoes, vintage clutch
For a long time I was looking for an ideal, moderately relaxed, moderately classic “male” black suit and found it at COS. I always go there for these square dresses of theirs, which I don’t go at all, but I go out with excellent jackets and pants.
Another loafers: at the sight of this rich decor, I could not resist, especially since they were sold at a huge discount. Fringe when walking barely audible jingle.
The clutch was worn in the 80s by my mother, together with a cocoon-like coat. It seems she is very touched by my love for this thing.
Top Comme des Garçons Play, Uniqlo pants, Bloch ballet flats
I love everything in a contrast striped, and this top is the king of all stripes. I bought it in Kuznetsky Most 20, as it often happens to me, the male came up better than the female.
In these pants I went all summer and regret not having bought another pair - for 999 rubles! I hope they will live to the next warm season.
Despite the fact that ballet flats are terribly uncomfortable shoes, in the case of Bloch everything is brightened with a small pad that they embed in the insole and soft leather, velvety inside. I already have two pairs.
Nina Donis sweatshirt, J. Crew skirt, Tod's shoes
Beautifully made, unusual sweatshirt from the same collection as the dress. The thing turned out to be with character: it seems to be simple, but for some reason it is difficult to combine it with other things.
For some reason I bought a silver skirt in New York. Now there is always something to wear on the parties that regularly take place in Moscow, where they are asked to come in something brilliant.
I love Tod's brand, but selectively: the whole of their bourgeois side with multi-colored moccasins is completely alien to me, but they are very good at female versions of men's shoe models.
Ralph Lauren Vintage Dress, Marni x H & M Jacket, Marc by Marc Jacobs Shoes, Iosselliani Ring
Another favorite vintage dress. Stitched from cool to the touch viscose, which was in use in the early 90s. It's great when the wind blows it up.
I bought the jacket on the pre-sale of the line Marni x H & M: I arrived there in the eighth month of pregnancy and from the disorder that did not fit on me then, I bought the only thing that fit. I remember that these jackets did not interest anyone, everyone was hunting for costume jewelry and dresses with a print. As a result, now it is one of the things that I wear most often.
I like scary Marc by Marc ironic maiden shoes, but the shoe doesn’t fit well. This is the only couple that lingered in my wardrobe: I had to part with all the others. I wear them very often, I have already changed the rivets on them, and I feel that the sole does not last long.
Sotuar and earrings 1064 ° Goldsmiths Guild
Jewelry I wear a minimum. I love the collection that stylist Lena Zikhon designed for the 1064 Goldsmiths Guild: I like the noble simplicity and brevity of the combination of blackened silver and pearls.
Lanvin x H & M Butterfly, Sotuar 1064 ° Goldsmiths Guild, Vintage Bracelet, Iosselliani Ring, Furla Ring
I wear a bow tie if I want to wear a white top and black bottom: it is able to liven up everything and add irony.
With all my love for simplicity, for some reason, I was fascinated by the layers of pearls, pebbles and skulls that designers of the Italian jewelry brand Iosselliani come up with. This ring is a gift from her husband, for some reason he also likes it.
Shoes: Tod's, Hope, Tod's
I love men's shoes, which are beautifully adapted for women.
Aromas
I have gathered a lot of fragrances, but only a few favorite ones: for example, Daphne, created by Comme des Garçons for Daphne Guinness, Philosykos and Chanel cologne, which I sprinkle when I don’t know how I want to smell, and lemon-basil Jo Malone, which smells a little as lotion "Cucumber" from childhood.
