Marketing Director of Econika Irina Zueva 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 Irina Zueva, marketing director of the Econika network.
Mom always bought me beautiful and unusual things. She even allowed her to take her bow-rimmed shoes: I climbed into the 35th size with my 28th and walked with a “walk from the hip” along the corridor. I was a real fashionistas and loved to be photographed in new clothes, and also read glossy magazines in packs and was inspired by the models from the covers. To be honest, then I did not even dream that the future profession would be in contact with fashion. I graduated from the journalism faculty of Moscow State University, I was engaged in public relations, and then I was invited to the position of marketing director for the Econika network. So fate brought me to the fashion industry, in which I have been working for the past five years.
It is important for me to be maximally immersed in fashion trends, I often visit shows and presentations and organize events myself - I feel how all this affects the taste and shapes my style. It can be said that he is becoming more restrained and feminine: if earlier trousers, jeans, shirts and boots prevailed in the wardrobe, now its basis is dresses, skirts, bright accessories and unusual decorations. I really like sensual images.
I am a shopaholic with experience, I spend most of my salary on clothes, shoes, accessories and cosmetics. For me, it does not matter, dear brand or not, the main thing is that the style fits perfectly and the thing transforms me. I love to go shopping, choose something unusual; I often go along with my mother - she still sometimes picks up interesting things, knowing my preferences very well.
I love shopping abroad: a thing bought on a trip reminds me of the country and local adventures, so now in my wardrobe there are a lot of items with history. I have so many basic models, so I try to buy only what I fall in love with at first sight - something extraordinary! For me, the choice of perfect clothes is really somewhat similar to falling in love, when on a chemical level you feel that this is yours.
I do not like to buy on the Internet - this is not at all mine, I do not know how to choose a thing from the picture. It is very important for me to try on clothes, twist in front of a mirror and see myself in it, and offline shopping just allows you to do it. Usually I see the cut, silhouette, color, and even before fitting, I understand whether it is mine or not. It remains the case for small - to find your size and climb into it. I recently noticed that my wardrobe has grown a lot, so now I try to give the “forgotten” things to my relatives and friends. Let them please them!
Dress Alexander Terekhov, shoes Alla Pugachova x Alena Akhmadullina
I am ideally suited for cutting Alexander Terekhov dresses, I usually buy them in the salon of "Rusmod Discount". There you can find very good specimens from the old collections at an affordable price.
Fell in love with these boats before they appear on sale. Such an unusual combination of a delicate color with a silver accent heel immediately attracts attention. Very steady, in this pair you can dance until the morning.

Pinko's sundress, H & M t-shirt, Econika backpack, Voire mono-ear
I spotted a sundress first in Petersburg, but then it cost too much. A few months later, in the midst of sales, I went to the brand site, thinking: what if the thing had stayed in the size I needed? And lo and behold! It was so. I instantly rushed to the "Atrium" to buy it at half price - was very pleased. T-shirt H & M picked up specifically for the sundress.
The Econika backpack of the current season was advised by our consultants - I myself would never have paid attention to such an impractical white color. But when in the cabin they showed me which backpack was roomy and stylish, I had no questions left. Mono Serga - a gift. I myself probably would not dare to such an accessory.
