Photographer Oksana Babenko 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 the photographer Oksana Babenko.

I love to dress up: in childhood I could not sleep at night wondering how I could look the next day. When I was studying graphic designer at the age of fourteen, I learned about second-hand - after the couples we went to them with girlfriends and looked for something unusual for ourselves. In Nalchik, where I lived until nineteen, for a very long time there was no mass market, while in the second you could find anything. Still, vintage and second-hand items are an integral part of my wardrobe.

I am delighted with Avito - I often find clothes there, and also in “Megastila” and on vintage markets; Only shoes and bags I buy from modern brands. Most of my wardrobe is now the 80s. I have long sincerely loved the style of that era: in my closet there is a whole collection of double-breasted jackets with shoulder pads and far from all were included in the shooting. In general, the image for me is not only comfort, but also mood, subtext. I wear simple jeans, a T-shirt and comfortable sneakers to work on the set, but in my free time I usually choose bright outfits. Colleagues are surprised to meet me outside the studio.

Longsleaf Puma for ASOS, flea market pants, Nike Air Max 95 sneakers

At the Pasar Kodok Balinese flea market, I looked for a kimono and discovered these pants — I bought it for only 90 rubles. They are well combined with sports longslivymi. In general, I love animal prints. In principle, sometimes I can go on a shoot like this - quite a comfortable image.

Jacket from The Vintage Ladies, Levi's jeans from Megastil, vintage bodysuit, creeper Fenty x Puma

I just could not get past this jacket with the stars on one of the vintage markets - I was struck by the huge shoulder pads. I feel like Freddie Mercury in him and carry on parties.

Dress from Odessa, Manolo Blahnik shoes, Urban Outfitters bag

I saw the dress in the showroom when I was vacationing in Odessa. Always wanted this - with full sleeves and open shoulders; for the St. Petersburg wine bar fits perfectly. Boats are a birthday present. Perhaps the most comfortable couple in my life.

Jacket with Avito, skirt - gift, Materiel sandals

I love Georgian designers very much, including the brand Materiel - I've been following them for a long time. I bought these sandals during a trip to Tbilisi. Cool square spout, strings - everything together looks, I think, very modern and sexy. In addition, really fit almost all things in the wardrobe.

Linen pants, Lacoste shirt and jacket - all from Megastil, Nike Air Max 95 sneakers

Somehow, last summer, I gathered myself in Megastila such a full-fledged resort image. I love to wear it crumpled.

Costume from Odessa, flip-flops Urban Outfitters

I love the pajama style - comfortable and looks luxurious.

Dress Libellulas, Materiel Sandals

Sometime last summer, at the Stay Hungry food festival, everyone got married in jest: there was an altar, a priest, and even fake chupa-chupa rings. My boyfriend suggested that I get married, and we went to Tsvetnoy to buy a wedding dress. It is so sweet and gentle, sometimes I wear it with sneakers.

Cloak & Other Stories, Materiel Sandals, MM6 Maison Margiela Bag

It has long been looking for a beige cloak and found the perfect in & Other Stories. He has interesting details: ties on the sleeves, a long belt with a round buckle, a huge collar. The cut is very voluminous, which is also very cool.

Avito Jacket, Uniqlo Turtleneck, Levi's Jeans, Fenty x Puma Creeper

Flared jeans bought in Belgrade in Levi's, we have never seen such people anywhere. Look vintage, and therefore could not resist.

Jacket with Avito, second-hand trousers, Manolo Blahnik shoes

The red suit is one of my favorites in the wardrobe. Bright, attracts attention and collects compliments.

Vintage jacket, pants - gift, creeper Fenty x Puma

This jacket is an important thing for me, he saw a lot of cool parties and went with me a whole era. I used to live in St. Petersburg: in 2012, my friend and I went to our favorite bar, “House of Life”, where it was customary to dress up fancyly. Fun time, I remember him with a smile. And the pants appeared recently, a friend-designer gave them to me with the words: "Just for your jacket."

Vintage dress with Avito, boots. Martens

This contrasting combination of a translucent romantic dress with rough shoes seems to me very organic. It seems that Green Day "Wake Me Up When September Ends" will start playing in headphones, and I am again fourteen.
