Designer Gloria Krauts 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 designer Gloria Krauts.
I can not and do not want to take fashion seriously. I go to shops very rarely, often finding myself there by chance. But overseas flea markets and second-hand is an important component of any trip. I love it when people see clothing as a costume or scenery, with sarcasm, bypassing all the fashionable rules. The most important thing is not to bother. If you are sad and do not want to get together, dress, and make up - you don’t need to, you can go outside in your pajamas. It doesn't seem to me that the appearance and the reason should somehow correspond to each other: I can safely go to study in an evening dress, and to a party - in things smeared with paint after painting the walls.
Dress Zara, shoes Dr. Martens
Print fabric reminds me of the upholstery of a chair or sofa in the country. There is charm, naivety and absurdity in this velvet. When I looked at it properly, I simply could not pass by. This dress also helped me to notice a funny thing: you just have to put on a new favorite thing, as failures are immediately a magnet for it. In this dress, for example, in the very first hour a lighted cigarette arrived, which safely left a scar on it.
Sheepskin coat of unknown brand, Monki culottes, Uniqlo sweater
Superduratskaya sheepskin cost me 500 rubles, and for five years it has been faithfully serving. I feel myself in it as a Soviet worker in a factory who escaped from shift to lunch.
Uniqlo sweater from the male department is ready to admit forever in feelings. Quality, material, and most importantly, cut - everything is as needed. It would seem that the usual black warm sweater is not a problem to find, but not here. Especially among the female models who so love to cover and show curved lines with curved lines. That is why all the basic things like t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, and sometimes shirts, buy in the men's departments.
Zara bodysuit, Monki pants, H & M shoes
I love theatrical and characteristic things. This body either Pierrot, or a clown settled in my wardrobe quite recently, but has already managed to win my position. Pants, like everything from Monki, waited for me at the sale and waited. So we live with them in perfect harmony.
But the shoes appeared in a very contradictory way. Somehow I went with a friend for company to the store, giving a bunch of arguments why I do not like H & M, and stumbled into them. A moment later, they are already taking money from my hands at the cash register.
Culottes Zara, Monki shirt, belt bag sewed itself, adidas shoes
These culottes with deep cuts were presented to me by a friend. The shoes were given by a girlfriend: the pair was without laces, because they decided to eat the dog. This, of course, did not bother me - it is not a problem to find a replacement. At home, there was only one spare lace, and then I could not decide how I like it more: with or without ties. So I left it, so I go. Stitched the bag for a long time in an attempt to get rid of sadness and distract. She saw, of course, a lot. In general, everything is simple with bags: for many years I have been choosing canvas shoppers. It is very convenient for me every day to carry folders of A3 format and other necessary things in them. I probably have about ten of these. I usually buy them at punk festivals. Somehow there was even such a case at a party: I stood and talked among friends where I was smoking, and suddenly everyone started screaming and hitting my bag. It turned out I was burnt and she started to burn. As a result, the thing died under the comment "Come on, you have such a hundred pieces."
Cardigan, jumpsuit, Monki socks and socks, T-shirt - merch band, shoes Dr. Martens
T-shirt - merch of one of the favorite groups. She slowly begins to die, but I am not at all ready to let her go to another world, especially the guys are no longer playing, I hope, temporarily. The inscription in translation from Dutch means "high treason". The beret was presented for the New Year, it warms the ears and the soul and sometimes helps to present myself as a Frenchwoman.
Ghost socks are a small souvenir from the Halloween basurman holiday, which I recently lead in a circle of loved ones watching movies and eating pumpkin pies. It remains only to find pajamas the next time.
Knitted top of an unknown brand, shirt-shirt sewed itself, shoes Dr. Martens
Recently I sewed the jacket myself, inspired by the sketches of work clothes and costumes for theatrical production "Vasily Terkin" by Stepanova and Rodchenko. When I put on, I immediately introduce myself as a brigadier or painter.
Pants and a sweater sewed itself, socks of unknown brand, Dr. shoes. Martens
I love to be bogged down at the first call - the lack of funds never bothered me. So, a year and a half ago, my friend and I spontaneously set off on a journey through Scandinavia by hitchhiking with backpacks and a tent, without a uniform and money. It was one of the most wonderful travels. Breakfast at the lakes, tea on the top of the mountains, overnight stay in the forests and absolute uncertainty - just the way you look. Having passed the south coast of Norway and having seen enough of the sides, I decided to make a capsule collection devoted to landscapes on the way. This sweater is just my little piece of mossy mountain in Norway, and my pants are a reminder of a blue-gray fog.
Crop-top topshop, Monki skirt, cloak sewn by herself, Dr. shoes Martens
This thing was born during the analysis of fabrics. She found a striped hank and decided to immediately put it into action. As a result, such a clown raincoat came out, the trimming did not disappear either, and it settled well on the sleeves and the ledge.
Trench coat Uniqlo, shoes Dr. Martens
I found a good trench when it was no longer expected, in the men's section of Uniqlo in the size of XL, and I still lack a bit of length. I love things for the maximum number of sizes more. Absolutely I suffer from gigantomania.
Mom's denim dress, dress of unknown brand with ASOS, Valentino bag
Jacket still in adolescence took away from my mother. Denim happily otgulyala all parties with her, and now walks with me. I think she will gladly dance with more than one generation. In general, this jacket loves parties and is always ready to hide two bottles of wine in its pockets, for example. For this, all my friends are very fond of her, and so am I.
This a la vintage dress actually found me on ASOS. Once I played basketball in him: it seems that things didn’t like such loads very much.
Vintage leather jacket
The old woman-jacket passed to me from my aunt. She still collects enthusiastic questions and compliments at parties.
Earrings from India and Topshop
Earrings - the only jewelry, without which I feel sad. I love big and heavy, however, ears often resist. Most couples at different times I brought from India. Turquoise tassels I successfully dug out in Topshop about five years ago. The most beloved remind me of bells, the sound of which can cause spirits.
Brooches from india
Brooches brought to me from India: they scare me and fascinate at the same time. They are associated with voodoo dolls.
Perfumes: Sikkim Girls Lush, Tokyo Milk, Flower Barrow Lush
I love perfume for the fact that they transfer to the memories or places with which the smell is associated. For example, two of the three flavors tell about the very real Perbeck Island in Dorset and the hills in Sikkim. In general, I like strange smells: oily, heavy, woody and earthy. I'm also captivated by the stories behind the groceries. It is important for me to hear the smells myself, but many of the people around are also delighted and ask about them. Surely there are those who are choking, cursing me and sending "to their Himalayas."
