Architect Bureau "Corpus" Alina Kvirkvelia 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 architect of the Corpus Bureau Alina Kvirkvelia.

It is difficult for me to briefly describe my style. I have a rather spontaneous shopping, but I love fashion very much - I like to follow the change of tendencies, how they are influenced by youth subcultures. I can not say for sure what should be the thing to get into my wardrobe. But this is definitely not related to whether it is in fashion now, rather, with an inner feeling - my thing or not.

At school I experimented a lot - I loved bright colors, I was even teased on the street with a “traffic light”. Since then, I have experienced a professional deformation - and now I lean towards minimalistic, simple and universal things. I rarely wear feminine things, I’m not very comfortable in them - I would rather prefer sneakers to heels. My profession influences the choice of clothes in two ways: on the one hand, you strive to aesthetise everything around, including appearance, and on the other, you don’t dress up in particular.

When I was going to shoot, I realized that I had acquired most of my things on trips. There, I more often turn on the mood that is suitable for shopping — in Moscow I mainly use the services of online stores. Positive attitude to vintage things, especially from an environmental point of view. It's great that people began to think about it, besides, sometimes you can find really cool stuff on the rubble.

The Kooples jacket, MM6 dress, Unisa boots

I love the dress for many reasons. He can be put on both at work and at a party; it does not crumple at all - and I always take him on trips. In addition, he has a very interesting neckline: made in the form of a plastic bag. Because of the shape he still has beautiful folds on the sides.

Jacket purchased with a big discount. In Moscow there is almost no off-season, so it is rarely worn. In addition, in the rain, too, especially not wearing. But when there is an opportunity - always wear.

Boots stockings were purchased as a shopping therapy before moving to study in Zurich. They are not easily soiled, on a flat sole and therefore it is convenient to wear them at a construction site.

Berenik shirt, second-hand trousers, Dr. boots. Martens

I bought a shirt after the first part-time job abroad - I immediately lowered half the amount to a few things from the store next to the office. She's linen. Pants - from second-hand in Los Angeles. I did not expect to buy anything there, I just accidentally went there with my friends before leaving. Not at all crumpled, which makes me very happy.

I have a collection of the most popular shoe models: Vans, Nike, and Dr. Martens. Martins for me - the most comfortable shoes for the winter. I can walk in them all day without feeling tired.

H & M pants, Balenciaga blouse, Unisa boots

I was delighted with the Alexander Vang collection for Balenciaga. There were a lot of things with a marble print, and I immediately had a professional feeling. This blouse has a non-standard style - as if inspired by Asia. Pants - from H & M, surprisingly good quality.

Unknown Brand Suit, Vans Sneakers

This costume has a very cool picture. Bought miraculously in some awfully conservative store. In Zurich, all stores are either super-expensive (even COS is about 30% more expensive than everywhere else), or completely stupid. The suit itself is versatile, made of thick wool. I wear both at parties and at work.

Trench coat MISBHV, pants H & M studio, boots Dr. Martens

Trench Polish brand, about which I learned even before it became popular and their things began to wear Rihanna. I ordered a trench straight from the official site. The most favorite thing in the wardrobe - I like the color, stripes and flowing style.

Mother's dress, Superga sneakers

This is my mom's dress. There is a legend that my dad first saw his mother in it and fell in love. It suits me - I did not even rework. I have almost no feminine clothes in the wardrobe, but I really love this dress. And it is time to throw sneakers - worn out.

Cyrille Gassiline dress, Superga sneakers

The dress was purchased in Moscow UK Style - again, passed by, tried on and understood what I wanted. I am very impressed with the brand itself - I liked their campaign with a model from Oldushka. From time to time I check their site and watch new collections.

Sweatshirt Urban Outfitters, jeans from the store Gate31, Vans sneakers

I really like the inscription on the back of Leave Me Alone and the bright flags on the sleeves. Jeans were bought in the St. Petersburg Gate31 after a very tiring trip to Murmansk.

American Apparel Jeans, Hoodie A Cold Wall, Raf Simons x Adidas Sneakers

I almost always look that way - usually I wear a sweatshirt and jeans. I was chasing these jeans all over Paris. Then everyone said that the brand went bankrupt and the shops were closing. I was afraid to stay without them.

COS dress and shirt, Balenciaga jacket, Dr. boots. Martens

The shirt has a very beautiful cobalt color, neat collar. The dress is a variation on the theme of a tuxedo dress, it looks good with shirts, with turtlenecks, and T-shirts. The jacket is very "architectural", strict style and geometric details on the chest. Regularly collects compliments.
