Kommersant-Lifestyle Editor-in-Chief Natela Potskhveriya 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 stories related to them. This week, our heroine is Natela Pochkhveriya, a journalist and editor-in-chief of Kommersant, who spoke about the love of things for Georgian designers, decorations from church benches and random finds.
Work in gloss has a significant advantage - there are so many things around you that you no longer need to have them all to satisfy your craving for consumerism. It seems like he measured his shoes while shooting, turned around in the showroom, wrote about a new collection - that's all: thanks, don't. In any case, I have so. I rarely fall in love with ready-made things in stores so that neither to eat, nor to drink - to save. I usually begin to want something abstract, and then it somehow materializes. More often mom sews. Less - buy. But then our meeting with the thing in the store looks something like this: “Well, where have you been for some time all this time? I’ve been looking for you for so long”.
Atelier Kikala skirt, Hermès "Rider of the Caucasus" shawl, Zara top, Sergio Rossi shoes
In general, new look and all these flower girls are not mine. I love everything to be shapeless, long and preferably multi-layered, but in love with this skirt. Georgian Lado Bokuchava does some amazingly beautiful things. This skirt is a bestseller of the brand, I love it very much, but now I have paused in our relationship. It is necessary that the thing "lay down" and ceased to be recognizable. Then I'll get it again.
With a scarf an interesting story. I then worked in the magazine Interview, and we did a lot of editorial material about the journey of the creators of the shawl to Kabardino-Balkaria. In fact, they spread out a handkerchief as an ethnographic map. I went to Paris to the Museum of the Dumas family, I looked through the handkerchiefs in my hands, I meditated on the picture, I handed over the issue to the press and forgot about everything with light sadness. And then my birthday happened, and the PR director of Hermès, Julia Maksimenkova (by the way, that’s not enough in your category!) Gave me a treasured box. I was probably so happy with the gift only when I was handed the desired camera. Now I wear it on my neck, on my belt, on my arm, on my bag. I do not take off. And the color is rare - orange, - such was only sold in Russia.
Shoes are generally random in the wardrobe. I walked around Tbilisi and I do not understand how it happened. Just like a fog.
Top Aka Nanitashvili, Marc by Marc Jacobs ballet flats, T-shirt and pants of unknown brand
Most often, if I buy something, then in Tbilisi. There are a lot of showrooms, shops and talented designers who make clothes like I like - black and strange. Therefore, usually my shopping in Georgia looks something like this - “only two” and without looking. Aka is generally a talented girl. I will definitely do an interview with Kommersant for Lifestyle.
Mike under a sweater - the property of her husband. I often carry clothes with him. So we live: "Honey, are you in my jersey gone to work? And I was searched." With ballet flats everything is simple - I love dogs. In the good old days of "dollar-for-thirty," I could afford to buy at Net-A-Porter. Eh.
Maman haute couture dress, Zara necklace
Everywhere I was looking for a black long dress without ornaments. This is a rarity worthy of the Red Book. I had to go to my favorite couture studio, chez maman, or, simply, ask my mother to sew. I go there for all the birthdays of Georgian friends. Because only in such a dress is a spectacular way out to the dance floor to the sounds of a lezginka. I also like to hang all sorts of massive things around my neck. The older, heavier and more massive, the better.
Brooks Brothers shirt for men, pants & Other Stories, Christian Louboutin shoes, husband’s sweater
The shirt was presented by the husband with the words "do not wear". Well, Brooks Brothers and Brooks Brothers. Whether it is not enough brands of a qualitative men's wear, I thought. And after a couple of months, we decided to write about this brand, which, as it turned out, are all American presidents.
I took these Christian Louboutin shoes for repairs and forgot to say that the red color of the sole was preserved. So now they are below me, uh, beige. But so comfortable.
ASOS dress and coat, adidas sneakers Originals
The whole bow, without shoes, costs 30 dollars. I am always very proud of such finds. Maybe someone thinks differently, but I never considered the cost and brand of things as a guarantor of anything. Dear people sometimes such a bloat - run-save.
"Superstars" is almost a religion. I remember in the tenth grade, I bought them myself, put in red thick laces and a month later I killed them by skateboarding. Now it has become smarter - the shore.
Alexander McQueen trousers, Zara vest, COS shirt
I live uncomfortably in such an image, but sometimes the situation obliges me. Then I close my eyes and dress strictly. This is my uniform.
Marni dress, Hermès shawl, Tommy Hilfiger Penny Loafers loafers
Loafers brought, gently pressing to the heart, from the Milan concept store 10 Corso Como. They are happy. They are hidden penny for good luck. And the noble color is cherry. They age very nicely. I love it when things can age with dignity. Dress from the next Georgian store. That here was the same "how long have I been looking for you." This is probably the most comfortable thing in my wardrobe. True, it is not photogenic.
Top Topshop, Tom Ford pants, Diane von Furstenberg shoes
Actually, I think Tom Ford hates women. To look good in his clothes, you have to be a statuette. Awful non-complementary things. But for some reason these pants were delayed in the wardrobe. We got (like everything expensive in the wardrobe) from mom. She could not tame them. I bought shoes at a sale with a 90% discount. Fools, I think, these shoes, but they do not buy. The day was like - I realized what was wrong with them. It is impossible to walk, but to sit effectively is our everything.
Yudashkin Jeans Jeans, Top Topshop, COS Cardigan, Asya Malbershtein Backpack
So I look when I go to the country. Or I have a day off. You want honest bows, not smart ones? Jeans about ten years old. And as I was in the store Yudashkin Jeans - do not ask. Interestingly, the brand still exists at all? But the model was successful. Jeans and cardigans in my wardrobe - battalion. The backpack of St. Petersburg designer Asi is a favorite thing: wildly inconvenient to use, but very “mine”. By the way, he teaches to carry with him less junk and concentrate only on the essentials.
H & M Bracelets, Zara Necklace
H & M bracelets - random purchase. I put them by mistake at the checkout. I found it only in the hotel, and there was no time to return them back to the store.
Earrings - copy of vintage jewelry, earrings Eshvi
Earrings of gold repeat those that were found during the excavations of Colchis. It seems that this is the very ship "Argo". We bought them at the National Museum of Georgia. An interesting idea. You have already understood, probably, that everything Georgian is close to me. The second earrings - Eshvi. Georgian girls make very unusual decorations, and I support a domestic manufacturer. Although the creators of these kind of London.
Apple Watch, Maurice Lacroix, Pandora bracelet, earring - grandmother's gift
I have not earned the watch that I dream of. One fellow journalist, looking at my Maurice Lacroix, snorted contemptuously. Well, God be with him. And Apple Watch seems to me so far smarter than I am, but I think, over time, we will be friends. I do not really understand Pandora bracelets at all, but I have to wear this one. Charms - gifts to her husband. My favorite bracelet, which I never take off at all, is the Georgian church. This is almost a sacred thing to me. Earring gave grandmother. One. The second can not find. So I wear - grandmother after all.
Rosary from the cathedral
I saw the idea at the next Givenchy show. Repeated improvised means. Three euros in the old cathedral of Reims - and I have the most modern accessory. There is a subtle religious moment, I am well aware of it, but I would not like to hurt anyone in feelings. Georgian church bracelet has also become a favorite accessory of fashionistas. Now what?
Rings of unknown marks, Dzhanelli, Kabirski
Rings are a fetish. Here is the real one. To tremble in the knees. Love. Large, small - different. I put two simple platinum rings on the middle finger and the ring finger, and pass the brooch through them. It looks like a two-finger ring - a real hand-made.
On the far right is Kabirski. There is such a jeweler Herman Kabirsky, he calls his jewelry “freaks”. I somehow did an interview with him, and afterwards he suggested that I choose any. I delicately chose the smallest. He realized that I was ashamed, and gave me this myself. It says, it whispered to me that it wants to you. So we live together since then. Almost inseparable.
Brooch unknown brand
My favorite brooch. Strange people look and ask: "Cartier?" Relax, I say, three pennies - jewelry. And they are so in disbelief: "A-ah ..." Also a gift from her husband. I think this is my guardian.
