Katya Yarmahov, marketing manager of the Tsvetnoy department store
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. The heroine of the new material, Katya Yarmahova, tells about the love of Raf Simons and the rag & bone and shows the New Balance children's sneakers, which are changed every six months.
Proenza Schouler sweater, Cheap Monday jeans, J.Crew shoes
I took the Proenza Schouler sweater from Dasha Kosareva, taking advantage of her uncertainty about whether she needed her or not. The first two weeks I could not find an application for him and had already thought about returning it, but greed won. Cheap Monday jeans I bought at Kixbox in “European” about six or seven years ago to go to Gallagher’s B1 concert - something like that at that time I understood the meaning of the word “dress up”. Every time when my conscience starts to suffer because of desserts eaten for the night, I put them on, I understand that they are still fastened, and calmly continue to eat further. The J. Crew suede shoes came to me as a result of a brief clouding of my mind, when in one day I managed to buy two pairs of pink shoes. On vacation, in general, this is not what happens to people.
Coat Burberry, dress MM6, shoes Jil Sander
Last winter I decided that I could not live without an adult beige coat, and after a long search I stopped at this classic Burberry. On the very first day, with joy, I threw half a glass of hot chocolate on him and mentally said goodbye forever, but it turned out that they still understand something in the processing of fabrics: they managed to get rid of the stain in a couple of minutes with a simple napkin. I put on this coat when you need to look more serious. Maybe it sounds weird, but this midi dress with an open back is one of the most comfortable things in my wardrobe. Somehow I even flew to America in it: it does not hesitate, does not get dirty, does not bully, does not press anywhere, it is neither hot nor cold, but it feels like pajamas. Another attempt to find at least something made by Raf Simons, which will not be great for me in three sizes, ended with the fact that I bought these shoes as a souvenir with a 70% discount. I thought that they would be at home as a rarity, but in the end they became one of the favorites.
COS dress, Nicholas shoes Kirkwood for Erdem
Red dress - another purchase from the genre of "well, let it be, someday come in handy." I bought it for 50 euros in Berlin COS, where I waited until I met my friend. For several months it was a dead weight, until I discovered that for summer evening events there could be nothing better than a bright dress made from thin jersey. I stared at these shoes for many months, but I still wondered if I needed such an impractical pair. As a result, I bought it at a generous sale in Tsvetnoy, in order to close this gestalt, and now I am glad and happy.
Acne Sweatshirt, J Brand Jeans, Alexander Wang Ankle Boots
A pale pink sweatshirt with a silk back is one of the most favorite things, which always saves in situations where you need to gather in three minutes and still look normal. It is convenient in it, as in a regular sweatshirt, but at the same time due to the color and the back it does not look just sporty. I have long chosen for myself jeans of two brands: J Brand - if you need skinny, Acne - if straight. I buy them without trying on about a pair per season. With these ankle boots that I ordered on Outnet, I had to suffer: they turned out to be significantly less than necessary (and this is with my 35th). At first I tried to stretch them with civilized methods using a special foam, but then I had to help myself with vodka. Not in the sense of having a drink and not paying attention that they are small to me - on the advice of my neighbor, I poured a stack of shoes into each shoe and so walked around the house. It seems to stretch.
J.Crew shirt, American Apparel skirt, Todd's loafers
Almost all basic things like plain sweaters, shirts and T-shirts are bought or ordered at J.Crew - I like the quality and fit. American Apparel - my almost the only way out in those cases when I want an overestimated waist. I understand that for such recognition you can get in the scoreboard, but in my waist I have a great majority of the things of almost all brands. And in American Apparel there is a size XXS - and I save them. Tod's perfect black penny loafers were brought from Italy by my mother. I just asked for something like that, and in the end she hit the nail on 100%. With their help, I try to gradually wean myself from the habit of walking in old converse.
J.Crew jacket, Uniqlo shirt, Acne jeans, Nike sneakers
About this gnome-sized jacket my friend once said that there are regular sizes, there is a petite, and I have tiny. For this, in general, I love J.Crew. In Uniqlo you can always find the most simple plain-colored shirts of good quality that are perfect for a jacket. About the Acne jeans, I have already said above: they, firstly, sit perfectly, and secondly, they can be worn for years. Specifically, I bought these blue ones in “Tsvetnoy” about three years ago and since then I have been wearing it several times a week - and at least something. These running sneakers, which the sweetest African American woman in Niketown in New York (I was impressed by the Top 50 Ghetto Names movie at that moment, and when she called me sweetheart with a characteristic pronunciation, completely melted), opened the portal to hell for me multi-colored shoes. After them, I had pink and blue, and many other couples, although before that I almost always went in black. I still can not cover this piggy shop.
Stussy Bomber Jacket, Oysho Top, American Apparel Pants, Jil Sander Shoes
The dark gray bomber jacket Stussy is a dedication to my skate childhood. Well, the current general fashion, that really there. I bought it for some pennies in a strange store on Broadway and now I almost never get out of it. The search for a cropped top with long sleeves brought me to the Oysho store, where an excellent sports department with plain cotton T-shirts showed up. Wool pants are another high-waisted find from American Apparel. Last New Year marked them in silk pajamas, and in more formal cases I put them on with a jacket or a simple pullover.
Oysho top, rag & bone skirt, rag & bone booties, J.Crew necklace
Black skirt with leather inserts and classic Newbury were the result of a very successful rag & bone sample-sale. I always wear this and that - these shoe boots turned out to be the most comfortable shoes in the world, and you can walk in them for hours, despite the rather high heel. I especially like the fact that they are made of fabric, not leather, so they can be worn even in summer. For many years I didn’t recognize any jewelry, except for a simple silver key Tiffany & Co., and when I decided to choose something else, I started to break free - so I came up with this necklace, in which there are stones, crystals, and heavy chain. True, despite all this, it looks quite restrained and does not pull even on the statement necklace.
Sweatshirt Americal Apparel, skirt H & M, shoes J.Crew
I initially bought this sweatshirt to my younger brother, but in the end I fell in love with her so much that I had to put pressure on his generosity and forcibly take away myself. I can walk with her and walk to work with her. The H & M pencil skirt dispersed three times along the seam, so at some point I quit trying to sew it neatly and just secured the incision with a small pin. I have been going this way for several months now, disgracing myself.
Maje coat, J.Crew sweater, Zara shorts, Givenchy boots
My mother persuaded me to buy this coat during a long hike at Tsvetnoy, for which I am very grateful to her: it is warm, comfortable and suits almost everything. I even thought, according to his patterns, to sew myself a few more similar ones in other materials and colors. J.Crew sweater is nothing remarkable in general - what can be said about gray knitwear? Details on his back and elbows are rarely seen, because I almost always wear something on top. The last few months in these shorts, disguised as a skirt, go about everything, but what can you do. But they really look good. Givenchy rubber boots are one of the favorite pairs of shoes. They can safely walk through any puddles: my fears that the emphasis will be placed not on quality, but on design, have not been confirmed. In addition, there was not a day that I was not asked where I took them, or simply did not make a compliment.
Jacket 7 for All Mankind, rag & bone top and jeans, Givenchy ankle boots
Last summer, my friend Sveta moved to live in St. Petersburg and learned the local word “camouflage” there. I liked it so much that I decided to definitely get some camouflage, so as not to rush into words for no reason. I bought this jacket for about $ 50 and Sveta took exactly the same one. The asymmetrical rag & bone silk top is a very beautiful and very complex thing. He rubs in a couple of minutes, clings to everything around him, and bulges against outer clothing. The jeans-cigarettes bought at the same time are good for everyone, except that even after a year of regular washes they continue to dye everything around. And not only clothes: you should sit in them on the edge of the bathroom, as it immediately turns blue. The lesson I learned from the purchase of these ankle boots: do not go shopping a week and a half after the removal of appendicitis, because you will feel sorry for yourself and spend an unreasonable amount of money on something that, in general, is absolutely not necessary. This pair is, of course, beautiful and even comfortable, but this is still not quite my story. Although I still occasionally go to them, because as an object I like them.
Plastic bag Jil Sander
Another thing, bought exclusively for the love of Raf Simons. In fairness, I often go with her: comfortable, does not get dirty, and does not rain. It, by the way, causes a lot of questions from others - more than once completely strangers approached and wondered: "Do you have a bag or a bag?"
Tod's Loafers, Chelsea Jil Sander
About loafers have already been said, and as for these shoes - once, before turning into a mess, they were the perfect model of the chelsea, in which I proceeded for more than one season and city. I understand that it is indecent to wear shoes in such a state, but it is not enough willpower to get rid of them.
Sneakers New Balance
I buy the New Balance 574 a couple of times every six months (usually $ 40 dollars in the children's department) to go to them at all long distances and in cases of being late for work, and then, when they are erased, throw out and buy new ones .
Wallets rag & bone and Comme des Garçons
Big yellow rag & bone - another sample trophy trophy. It’s convenient to leave the office for lunch. In the black Comme des Garçons, which I bought in St. Petersburg mono-brand, I wear cards of secondary importance and various trifles.
Clutch Comme des Garcons
At one time, she bought wallets and clutches from this line in industrial quantities. Exactly the same, I still have in black and smooth skin, but once my mom had wrung it long ago, and since then I have not seen it.
Aromas Le Labo, Penhaligon's, Byredo, Diptyque, Honore des Pres, Acqua di Parma
In recent years, I prefer everything to the smell of incense, so almost always use Labdanum Le Labo. He seems to be with me forever: the aroma is so rich and persistent that it is enough to apply it one drop at a time, and even after a few days it will not disappear from clothes, so the bottle was standing, standing and will stand. Another of my favorite incense, Comme des Garçons Avignon, did not get into the frame. Penhaligon's Peoneve and Byredo Inflorescence are rare retreats for me to lighter smells. Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile was presented to me by a friend with whom Diptyque is also associated - I got used to the flavor of 34 Boulevard Saint Germain, and after a while I received it as a gift.
Mad et Len, Juliette Has a Gun, Tom Ford
From the very first Tom Ford Black Orchid, my love for heavy scents began, and for a long time there was more than enough work in the Vogue editorial office. Because of the road vial of Juliette Has a Gun, I once almost missed my plane: I was smart enough to put a metal case in my hand luggage, and interrogated me with the entire security service of Terminal D.
