Emo singer and artist Sveta Streltsova 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 creator of the own head art project and the vocalist of the emo group botanichesky: sad Cveta Streltsova.
For me, appearance has always been something big - it is a continuation of what is inside a person. I am convinced that a conscious approach to clothing helps to achieve harmony of internal and external. Recently, I finally came to understand that only I can dispose of my body, express my emotions as I please, and I really like it. I try to always be true to my impulses and not worry about what others think.
In my wardrobe most different clothes: there are premium brands and a mass market, there are treasures from second-hand and from flea markets. A separate place is occupied by things of independent brands, merchandise of underground projects and local music groups - this is how I support charity, and also my friends and friends. There are a lot of beautiful things, but this is not enough - I try to support those progressive brands whose ideals are close to me. I never return items by check to the store - I always think carefully about spending in advance and go to shopping consciously.
For me, the division of clothes into sizes, men's and women's rulers is not relevant - when they ask me what size I have, I often answer “no”, because I choose things based on cut, fabric and even color. I can sew and often change and customize clothes for me. I rarely buy on the Internet, I like it when I can measure, understand how I will look at the shape and fit of the model. The way I look, many raise questions, but I do not have to answer them. Rebel against boredom and snobbery.
Sweatshirt and sneakers - Reebok, Uniqlo skirt, Shopoper Faces & Laces, Fila armband, High School 1991 socks
I am very neat about clothes, so that for many years she maintains a state close to the ideal. Two years ago I bought the most expensive thing in my wardrobe at the time - snow-white sneakers. I love futuristic silhouettes in shoes - it is like a work of art that you can carry with you. Svitshot ordered online second; the thing has become dear to me, although the history of its purchase is faceless.
I don’t like modern fashion on laconic inscriptions on clothes, but there are exceptions, as is the case with shopkeeper Faces & Laces. He reminds me of the beloved summer holiday of the modern city dweller and is therefore perceived differently.
Stussy turtleneck, trousers and bag - Monki, takes - a gift, sneakers Converse x Comme des Garçons Play
For a long time she dreamed of a beret and was sad because all of them were fully or partially with the addition of wool. I told about it in instagram, after which the girl Anya wrote to me, who promised to tie the beret in any color using ethical materials. Since then we have been friends, and the thing is still dear to me.
This Monki bag is another piece of art. It is made of modacrylic fiber, and it also has an important mission: thanks to its texture and appearance, it relieves stress. I love to go with her to IKEA: while my husband and I chat, I stroke her like a cat. This is the only bag that I don’t hide on the shelf: it hangs over the workplace on a carnation and I digress to it to relax a little.
This year I was shot 25 years old, and my friend Ilnazia, while handing a present, said that I was already a serious person and the gifts should be serious. When I opened the bag, I started swearing, not believing my eyes. Now we have the same sneakers - a sign of special friendship and love, just like in childhood. You dilute the calm image with one bright accent - and you won.
T-shirt narvskayadostava, skirt and pantyhose - Monki, bomber jacket Alpha Industries, boots with "Udelki"
In this skirt and shiny tights, I like to perform at concerts of our group botanichesky: (; glitter - a reason to turn the day into a holiday. The T-shirt of the St. Petersburg art group Olya and Lyolya, they are also co-founders of the brand narvskayadostava, is the purest sisterud and girl power! In the mass market, feminism is a mutually beneficial trend, while independent brands have a way of life and real mutual help. I am glad that by buying merch narvskayadostava, I support girls and the crisis center "INGO".
Bomber bought on Avito the day before the shooting - I feel in him Matilda Lando. I'm tired of the black park, which I wear for the third year. She came by ad to Salarievo and found herself as if at the North Pole: undeveloped land with mounds of sand covered with snow, and a beautiful lilac sunset. Avito is generally a great place for upgrades, and the exchange of things, swaps and themed events are a great alternative to the trend race that is implicitly imposed on us, and we are all being led.
Boots bought a year ago in St. Petersburg on the famous "Finishing". They cost me 350 rubles and were in critical condition, but it was such a beautiful old age that I spent there from November to May, sometimes being distracted by sneakers. I do not plan to get rid of them. It seems to me that I would take these dead shoes on an uninhabited island, they seem to have nothing to lose.
Long sleeves and socks - Top, Carr sweatpants, adidas Y-3 sneakers, vintage sunglasses
Most often in stores, I hear comments in the spirit of: "Girl, this is male." "Landing is good, and the length can always be shortened," - I think. The mistake of many women is that they do not give men's trousers and jeans a chance; I bought these sportswear in the men's department of Sportmaster and filed it. Sit just awesome and combined with all sneakers and shoes. In general, this image is a portal in the 90s.
I zafanatel from the Moscow brand "Top" after this year she released the collection "Mortal Kombat" based on Mortal Combat. We are friends with the creator of the brand, and I wash the fire gifts from this collection in a careful mode. The sneakers of the genius Yamamoto are my gift to myself for the previous New Year; I wanted to reward myself. As the saying goes, "I can afford."
Lazy Oaf x Hello Kitty dress, Longsleeve Wolee, narvskayadostava socks, Vans sneakers
I am really looking forward to summer to walk around the city carelessly and drink cold lemonade. This sundress is pleasant for its ease and details: in it you can go skating and it’s not a shame to go to the library. And on the socks in the spirit of the time it says "girl power" - they are often paid attention in the subway.
Monki sweater, Gosha Rubchinskiy sweat pants, SUP? SUP hat!, Dr. boots. Martens
In Moscow, I repeatedly changed my place of residence and often lost things when moving, and then very sad. This hat is already more than five years old, but I am so kind to her, that she is in perfect condition, although I wear it very often. I was given it, and I don’t really know anything about the brand, except that it is a brand of street clothes from Minsk.
Monki has things that I call “well, it's just over the edge,” so it was with this sweater. I immediately ejected into childhood: I spend five years and summer holidays in the village of my beloved grandmother in Ukraine. On the walls of her house hung such large thin rugs, soft as velvet. In one room was with deer, and in the other - with all sorts of birds of paradise and beautiful flowers. When I saw a sweater, I almost burst into tears, remembering that time. Putting on such a top in a tandem with shorts and martins, I feel like a dandy from the gateway.
Mom's Garden sweatshirt, Levi's 501 jeans, own head hat, Converse sneakers
I like to transfer my drawings to objects and clothes. So, drawing an illustration, I made stripes, then I bought blank caps and branded them. She photographed, added to her shop in "VKontakte" and made several publications in social networks. My social networks are a concentration of power and support. I love my subscribers and always share with them all the useful things, my observations and just friends.
I fell in love with a dog s sweatshirt at first sight - it looks like a top for pajamas. I like all the illustrations and patterns of this brand, so I follow with interest the artist who designs them. My husband and I came to the grand opening of the Mom's Garden showroom, and I really wanted to support Ksyusha - as a result, I already have three different brand sweatshirts. Jeans bought for 500 rubles a second on the outskirts of Moscow. Just new perfect tight jeans. The end.
It's funny that sneakers give me friends and birthdays, two years in a row. In these, I got married.
Wolee T-shirt, CODERED sweatpants, Sex Skateboards baseball cap, Wolf socks, Nike sneakers
The tattoo on my neck "XXX" is a symbol of the movement of straight edge, the philosophy of the punk hardcore community; it is a protest and war with prejudice. For ten years now, as I have abandoned any vicious addictions, I feel like a happy person, living fully. I am also very proud that I have never tried drugs, no one will be able to powder my brains with nonsense about the opening of other worlds. I am amused by the aesthetics of gabbers, but one visit to a rave was enough for me - I felt insecure surrounded by people under the influence of drugs. These pants - a tribute to the love of the street.
I am a fan of the brand Wolee - I think that this is Stussy in St. Petersburg, I watch every drop and periodically buy flying things. Recently, Andrey Dugin, the founder of the brand and my good friend, asked for a whole package of the freshest stuff from the latest collection - it's like a whole package of sweets for a child!
BORIS t-shirt, second-hand shirt and jeans, Publish Roll Cap baseball cap, Champion Vintage sneakers with fits
When I met my future husband Gleb, he and his friend Cyril were engaged in playing music. I bought this T-shirt, then miraculously made friends with the boys and fell in love! I like the fact that BORIS is always fun and ironic. Later, the guys offered to become part of the team, and now the three of us are driving into the garage, printing merch on the machine and in the shadow of the gray everyday life we deliver our authentic goods. I bought these men's jeans in a second four years ago, they are suitable for all occasions.
This summer I visited Europe for the first time and categorically refused to leave Berlin! I have a unique cap in memory of this wonderful city, it always attracts attention and collects harmless jokes. Sometimes the nostalgia associated with things is so strong that it introduces a state of mild euphoria.
Monki denim, longsleeve - merchandise of the Foreseen group, skirt and sneakers - adidas Originals, Circle Of Unity socks
My musical preferences have something in common with my appearance. Longsleeve Finnish crossover thrash metal band Foreseen gave a husband. He generally knows how to choose gifts, because he knows me better than anyone. I know how important it is for merch groups. Thanks to the circulation of support, we release tapes, someone even makes releases on vinyl; money from sales often go to travel expenses and gasoline, many pay with their help for renting rehearsal bases. Buying merch, you literally support the existence of the group. In January 2018, Foreseen come to Moscow and St. Petersburg with a concert! This is happiness.
Sneakers are very specific and heavy, but very catchy; I rarely wear them lately, because after a couple of years of playing football, the foot has become a little deformed and I cannot wear such shoes for a long time. With me, these "gazelles" since 2014 and are always ready to help out in rainy weather - thanks to the platform for that. I like how harmoniously they are combined with a skirt.
Baseball Cap Sex Skateboards
Quite by chance I found out about this skate brand from Britain. I really like the logo! The first white cap in my life should look like this. The creator of the brand and artist Louis Slater recently respected me on Instagram - the beginning of a friendship!
Belt OCDD x "July", BORIS
OCDD - ovalcircledotdash is a mini-project where I draw abstract illustrations. In recent months, I have done this rarely, and it is not clear why, because I like the process. In the summer, my friend Julia, who makes a variety of belt bags in her workshop in St. Petersburg, came up with a collaboration. I prepared the illustrations, and we released a limited edition of bags that Julia sewed under a rainbow flag with her golden hands. She also helps us in the production of bags for BORIS.
Monki bag
My personal brand of fluffy joy.
Baseball Cap Publish Roll Cap
When I go to a party in it, it becomes a subject of discussion and good jokes.
Glasses from vintage shop
I always liked people with glasses. It turned out that my vision is perfect, but the desire to find good glasses (even for the future) was very strong. I found this frame in a vintage shop. Without thinking twice, I changed the windows with diopters for ordinary ones - and voila! I wear them with great pleasure and I consider it an integral part of myself.
Vintage glasses
The search for the perfect sunglasses ended this summer on Faces & Laces. I went to the Goldman sisters Goldman's booth and saw a box with a sale of the personal belongings of the girls. There, as in the movie, they lay and seemed to say to me: "So we met."
Casio G-Shock Illuminator Chains and Watches
Hours were the first serious purchase from the first paycheck on a new work that changed my life. Since 2014, I have not changed the battery in them. We are inseparable, we have love.
Baby Mu Case
In Helsinki, I was in the official Moomin store and in Moomin cafe! She experienced an overdose of joy, and when she left the restaurant, she generally cried in the middle of the street with happiness. I have a tattoo with Baby Mu, and my close friends believe that we are very similar. At home I have the altar of this little bully - I can not love, as they say.
Socks "Girl Power" narvskayadostava, Circle Of Unity, "Mortal Kombat" "Spinning Top"
Just favorite socks of the outgoing 2017.
