Model and DJ Valentina Nemchenkova 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 model and DJ Valentina Nemchenkova.
I love music, fashion and cinema of the 80s and 90s, so in many respects it was this period that shaped my style. Most often, I buy things while traveling - so the wardrobe reminds me of adventures. I have several favorite online stores like ssense.com or ln-cc.com, I also go to eBay. Yes, I adore vintage: flea markets, secondhands and online vintages are my passion. When buying a thing with history, I pay tribute to fashion houses and great masters of the past century, take good care of the environment and protest against the concept of fast fashion. The fact that I am a DJ certainly influences the choice of clothes: in any of my outfits I can immediately go dancing!
Suit from Senegal, Gucci glasses, bracelet from Australia
Gucci glasses from the time of Tom Ford - my favorite period in home life. The outfit from Senegal literally took off the seller of fake bags on the beach of Ses Salines in Ibiza. A crocodile bracelet was brought by a friend from Australia - I believe I bought it at a souvenir shop.
Christian Dior jacket, Marfa Journal T-shirt, Nike leggings, Ray-Ban glasses, Trifari choker, Prada shoes
These glasses are always with me - I feel great in them everywhere: on the rave, on the beach, on the morning run, behind the wheel and in the winter in the mountains. Choker and jacket found in the store La Reserve Vintage. Leggings from Bloomingdale's department store in San Francisco - bought them, going hiking in Pfeifer Park in Big Sur, after which they migrated to everyday wardrobe. Lately, I rarely wear heels, but this couple remembers other times: walking around the castings and dancing the night away. <3 Prada.
Albert Nipon dress, vintage loafers and clutch
A clutch bag with embroidered sequins and a dress from the La Reserve Vintage store. Loafers found in a large vintage shop, it seems AS American Vintage, in the area of Los Andezheles Eco Park. I feel in this outfit as a character in the series "Pose".
Vintage dress and boots, Longines watches
“The dress of the rural teacher” was found in the store The King of Frip in the Paris Marais - my passion for vintage clothing began. Watches from the collection of La Grande Classique. Italian hikers of the 80s - from the BIS store! in Amsterdam; they have just an amazing collection of clothes and shoes since the 50s.
Coat studios Coloratura, vintage Cossacks
Coat work masters studio Coloratura in Annville, Pennsylvania. They make all the products by hand, and the design is inspired by the culture of the indigenous peoples of the States and the works of Pete Mondrian. Received this item as a gift from her boyfriend - he was not too lazy to bring it from Paris. Cowboy boots from Venezuela bought in the Vintage Icons & Echoes shop in Santa Eulalia in Ibiza - it is owned by a venerable English lady.
Jil Sander dress, Muji backpack, decoration from Kenya, Two Ball sneakers
Traditional bead jewelery made from Masai tribe was brought from Kenya many years ago and I consider it one of my main treasures. The cool sneakers “Two Balls” were presented by the guys while working on the video “We Have Everything” of the UBC group.
Vintage Trench Coat, Maison Margiela Ankle Boots, Choker Custom Made
Beacon's Closet Brooklyn leather trench coat would be worn without removing if it were socially acceptable.
Yohji Yamamoto Jumpsuit, Calvin Klein Clutch, Dr. Sandals Martens
A year ago, at the festival, Dekmantel met a cool girl: we both were in martins and agreed on the basis of love for the brand - it turned out that she works in a company store. My new friend offered to take advantage of her discount - so this wonderful model got into my collection.
Ashish Dress
I call this Ashish treasure a gift from heaven — I stumbled upon it at the box office for evening dresses when I helped my friend collect costumes for the film. The dress was in the department "You buy one, the second you get as a gift" - as events developed further, I think, clearly. Smartly walked him at the opening of the summer season, "Arrows". Tights in the net bought in the store "everything for ballroom dancing."
Fur coat from the flea market in Berlin, a Check Ya Head hood, bag - gift, vintage loafers
This awesome red fox trick is like a cult coat of Margot Tenenbaum. I met her during a Sunday walk through Berlin with my friend Hugo Capablanca - he showed me a flea market in Arkonaplatz Square, I highly recommend it, by the way. The black knitted bonnet was made by my Ekaterinburg friends at Check Ya Head, and the crocodile handbag was inherited from Marusya's friend — she brought it from New York. I attached the bamboo handle myself, with my golden handles.
Bag and Clutch - Gianfranco Ferre, Clutch Dries Van Noten
The red crocodile bag is still without a handle, but I'll think of something.
Gold jewelry
All jewelry is made to order - melted from the old annoying. For example, this diamond mono-ear in the past was a Tiffany & Co. ring. For five years it lain under the codename "ring of a virgin," waiting for rebirth.
Longines and Cartier watches
Longines watches are from the La Grande Classique and Tank de Cartier collections. I love watches of the classical form, I consider gold Tank to be an integral part of a respectable wardrobe.
Rolex Watch, Christian Dior Necklace
The Christian Dior necklace of the late 80s is a gift in honor of a very important event. Tape - the cult record label and eponymous store in Munich.
Trifari choker, vintage cigarette case, Monet chain
Cigarette case from Ekaterinburg vintage project by Shoovakish friends. Found a massive chain with fish on the Sunday "flea" in New York.
Andrea Maack Coven perfume
Andrea Maak is a famous Icelandic artist whose perfume house was born thanks to the Scented Art series. The aroma of Coven, i.e., “coven,” has definitely become central to my life; for many friends he is associated with me. Hope we will be together forever.
