Copywriter Angelina Sheshenina 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 a copywriter Angelina Sheshenina.
I am the same person who absolutely does not know how to use his wardrobe. I do not even save a regular and thorough reorganization of the storage system. I always forget about half of my things and hardly combine them in a stressful situation. The most harmful habit is to bring new things to the hole, forgetting about those that are hiding in the drawers of the dresser and behind the cabinet door. In adolescence, everything was the same: I bought clothes for the occasion, squeezed all the juice out of it and threw it away. Gradually, things began to appear in life with the note "forever." The first in the list were boots Dr. Martens. I bought my first seven years ago - I still carry it in winter and summer.
I do not make a start from trends, I rather live in images. "Martins", for example, is always about youth and protest. There are a lot of things in the world that evoke mood, emotion, resembling the atmosphere of a movie or video clip - this is important to me. My closet consists of unusual items of the mass market and the work of Russian designers. A friend once said that she always sees those clothes on me that she is looking at in stores with interest and apprehension. Second-hand and online shopping is my personal hell. In the second I can't calmly search for things because of the smell, and in online stores because of the overwhelming variety. I can not get out of the mode of maximalism, if I need some kind of clothes, it is only here and now.
The last discovery for me was swaps - now my things are mostly from there. I regularly clean my wardrobe and carry everything that I don’t wear myself, and I find at meetings what I need. At the same time, it turns out that something radically new was needed: leather skirts, fur coats, bodysuits, hats. In recent months, I choose clothes according to a new rule: nothing "cute." It appeared in my head by chance, but it works perfectly - “cute” clothes do not give me the strength to accomplish.
Zara Dress, Shoes & Other Stories, COS Turtleneck
I bought this dress recently in Dusseldorf. The former extravagance of the European holidays had to be left in the pre-crisis times, so the lot for 17 euros from eco-leather seemed to me a decent catch. In fact, he turned out to be a good weapon in the fight against his favorite set of “week” sweatshirts. Because the pockets, because it does not stain, and the skin immediately gives shine in the eyes. Turtleneck bought in similar circumstances in the same city. Shoes lucky to find two years ago at a flea market in "Enthusiast." It seems to be the only heel in my life.
Monki shirt, Sonya Spielberg pants, LNB Studio boots
Last summer, Masha Potudina, co-founder of the Khokhlovka store, called me to the shooting for the Muse column. Among the selected items was an absolutely transparent T-shirt of the Russian-Israeli brand Sonya Spielberg. I almost fell in love with her, after which Masha grinned: "You have not seen transparent pants yet!" Naturally, the next day I went to get acquainted with the pants. Spun in them at the mirror for a long time, and then decided in favor of a voluminous black dress. The next morning, realizing the mistake, I handed over the dress and still seized my pants. Flour choice had to go through, because they really are absolutely transparent. But this transparency is perfect - it is devoid of any vulgarity, and the model is stitched flawlessly.
Finding a full white shirt with the right cut for me was always a difficult task. Such that she was "feminine" and "masculine" at the same time, did not hint at office life and would not weigh down the upper half of the body. Saved, as always, the mass market. LNB Studio boots, I devoured my eyes for a long time, imagining myself in them in all sorts of circumstances. When I bought, I came across the peculiarities of hand-made shoes: first I rub, then I was painted. Love still did not subside: I wear them at all times of the year, more often than any other shoe.
Shirt and Culottes - COS
Last year's foray into COS - again in Düsseldorf. I feel like a peasant woman Malevich, but I love this bow terribly. The red shirt seems to give superpower: you feel, others feel you and, most importantly, see.
Dress Taya Ganzha, sneakers Vans x & Other Stories
Dress from the old collection of my girlfriend. I fell in love with him because of the flowers, cut and pockets - I don’t understand life without the latter. I still wonder how it survived the summer of parties, playgrounds and travel, being so white.
Shoes - catch from a swap. But if I saw such in the store, I would not have passed by either. Vans are the main sneakers of my life. They die faster than I buy them, and still I keep taking them. Once in Barcelona, I caught high and suede, the euro was merciless, and I was unshakable. They turned into something frightening in just a month. Instead of dry-cleaning, according to the classics, I ran them in the washing machine, then again - now I don’t know if they can be saved.
Max Mara Shirt, Nixon Watch
She found a shirt at the "Enthusiast" flea market. I knew that she would be hanged on a rail, and ran to the very beginning of the event to buy. She managed to intercept my girlfriend - but we agreed with her. Wearing turns out only in summer, for the rest of the seasons there is not enough imagination and diversity of wardrobe. Golden watch gave her husband at my request. I do not know why watches are needed if they are not golden.
Brixton hat, Forma pants, gift vest
My husband has been looking for a hat of perfect shape for himself. We went around a couple of European cities, did not find anything worthwhile, and then he unexpectedly found the Brixton model from friends. Then I realized that my life without a hat is empty - the truth is, I never learned to wear it. I put on only in the autumn and only when I gather the necessary courage.
Pants - writer trophy brand Forma. The first thing about the brand was a heavy tweed coat. It was just that unique thing that is “forever”. Since then, I have been closely following the collections of the brand. When the creators needed help with the lyrics, I refused fees for clothes. My mother gave me a vest when I was pregnant and difficulties began with the clasps of outerwear. He miraculously caught on.
Dress Henrik Vibskov, Cheap Monday shoes
Dress - a gift to a friend. In her life, it did not stick, but for me it turned out to be a universal fighter - thanks in large part to the pockets, of course. Shoes from a strange rubberized material bought as rubber boots to walk in the summer rain.
Sweatshirt, dress and tights - Monki, NIM Design bag, Dr. Boots Martens
The apogee of the mass market. In general, I have a long love with the Monki brand. The first thing came to me about seven years ago, it was a gift from my mother. In 2011, my girlfriend and I went on a short trip to Scandinavia, vowing to buy food once a day - only in the case of a famishing famine and only on 7/11. The rest of the money was decided to merge into Monki. I still wear clothes from this trip.
Today, the quality brand is no longer happy, but the prices - always. Therefore, I can’t stop my foray into the shop, and I still hold Swedish goods of Chinese origin in bags. Velvet leggings pierced my heart immediately. I bought myself red, blue and barely kept from black.
The NIM Design bag is the only one I wear, also from the category "forever". The longer I wear, the better it gets. She was not even killed by a collision with a bicycle wheel. I know that now the brand is divided into NIM and Code Unik, but in both cases I am scared to like what they produce.
Round House Coverall, Monki T-shirt, Vans Sneakers
Jumpsuit from St. Petersburg Renegade Store. My husband and I are the same, only of different sizes. My love for this piece of clothing is limitless - and I would only wear it. When I put on a jacket and a padded jacket that I forgot to bring to the shoot, I feel royal. Men's clothing - love. Sometimes I steal my husband's socks because they are tall. I also buy myself mostly in the Uniqlo men's section.
Bomber H & M, Dress and T-shirt - Monki
The dress is another acquisition with raids on Monki. In it, I feel like a funny naughty schoolboy, as well as a hipster-climber-engineer, when combined with a checkered shirt. Insanely handy thing, which clings to the eye. Bomber since that time, when at minus twenty it was my only outerwear and I did not freeze. By some miracle, he lived to this day in almost its original form. Even the pellets did not appear.
Earring and cuff "48", rings and badges - gifts, a chain of "Khokhlovka"
Here, probably, half of my treasure. Most of them are works by Russian designers and rings stolen from girlfriends. I love the brand of guys-architects "48" very much. It seems to me that I had all the cuffs they just released, but I lost them one by one. Now only this one is alive with pearls. Chain from "Khokhlovka" bought after the third glass of wine. I have long laid my cunning eye on her. I consider it the best wine purchase.
Lipstick M.A.C. and & Other Stories
The "week" set of sweatshirts mentioned here is a curse of my life. I often resort to it and, in order to somehow dilute the image, I buy lipsticks of various colors. So the color of the lips often becomes an accessory cleaner bags and watches.
Perfume Serge Lutens
My only perfume. I heard that smell on my way to honeymoon and went crazy. There was also Comme des Garçons Avignon, but I have not had time to update the bottle yet. It seems that the “Amber Sultan” began to bore me gradually, but in the world of smells I have not yet found anything closer.
