My taste was forming under the influence of parents who always dressed - and dressed us with my brother - in the fashion of their youth. Houses were surely the magazines of the Burda Moden of the 80s-90s, according to the patterns of which the mother sewed things. There were models with a high waist, lowered shoulder line, oversized size - partly my current preferences are associated with nostalgia for childhood.
As a teenager, I dressed like everyone else at school, then I didn’t have a single drop of personality. At seventeen I enrolled in an art school and met with local dandies there. We could wear long skirts, weird sweaters, old-fashioned flannel shirts. Then everyone did not care at all what shoes you were in, but over time I began to pay more attention to it. So, almost all of my money was spent on the purchase of the recently released adidas, Nike and Martins models.
I never liked ordering clothes online, I need to measure everything. To get to my wardrobe, the thing must be unusual. Recently, comfort has become important to me, so I began to give preference to natural materials.
O'Neill sweater, earrings - gift
Dad gave this sweater to mom for my birthday. He passed on to me by inheritance, and I am very much on his coast - still as new, although my age mate. It's amazing what quality the things of that time were.
Fur coat Hanover Clothing, pants Patagonia sneakers Reebok
Fur coat from the men's collection. This is one of my favorite things, it has an interesting style and shape of the hood. Pants from my boyfriend's wardrobe.
Ring - a gift
Avalon coat, Monki sweater, earrings - gift
I like the sleeves of this coat. Good thing for windy weather.
Belt with "fines"
Belt with rhinestones bought at the flea market "Fines" in St. Petersburg. He is very fond of taking on the set.
Valentino suit, scarf and belt - "Top", Reebok sneakers
I’ve known the “Top” brand for a long time - my friends worked there and I often came to visit them. Sometimes starred for them, but at the same time bought something for myself.
Earrings - gift
Handmade balaclava
These balaclaves are knitted by Dasha's mother Ducks, Dasha came up with a startup for her, so that she could earn money on a pension.
Zara Top, Topshop Pants, Steve Madden Shoes
I love extraordinary models, interesting colors and styles. I want to wear something that no one has, or basic, but good-quality things. These pants have an interesting color and perfect fit, they emphasize the figure.
Zara Earrings
Beauty T-shirt, Colin's jeans, Leroy Merlin chains, Reebok sneakers
This is one of the t-shirts that parents produce in their factory. I like her cut with long sleeves. I used to go to a rave in her, but now I wear more during the daytime, in a casual way.
Belt buckle
Bolshevik fur coat, Topshop pants, boots - a gift
I like that this fur coat is so voluminous. When I don, people often come up to me on the street to make a compliment. I found it in the second: I believe that in second-hand you can always dig out something worthwhile, although I myself try not to get carried away by them much.
