Model and stylist Maria Klyuchnikova 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 a stylist and model Maria Klyuchnikova.
My childhood influenced my style: love for unusual things began even then. I literally found vintage jeans, voluminous sweaters, jackets and floral dresses in grandma's chests. Later it was my mother's, and then my aunt's wardrobes (for the benefit of my relatives I have a lot). Some things in my wardrobe live to this day. Also, my positive and at the same time slightly impudent character could not but influence the formation of my style. This integral feeling of masculine and feminine in me formed the basis of my love for the mixing of boys and girly dresses. I wear clothes very neatly, so even models from the mass market can serve faithfully for many years. The main thing is to be able to combine things with each other. Here I am rescued by vintage and Russian designers with whom I am good friends, as well as online stores where you can find something that you rarely see in others.
Studio-29 costume, sailor by Garin, Zara shoes
The woolen suit of the Russian brand Studio-29 with my favorite double-breasted jacket is the best purchase of the outgoing winter. Loved him for the color. The costume looks great with minimalistic decorations that are perfectly matched in shape and color, as well as with a beige seaman's hat with no edges, which was presented to me by Seryozha Garin, the founder of the brand by Garin.
Cloak and shoes - Zara, blouse Aleksandra Vanyushina, bag Mango
In January of this year, I visited Barcelona, where I bought this stunning trench coat from shimmering dense fabric. I would never have thought that a thing of such quality can be found in Zara. Infinitely comfortable fur shoes without a heel and an open heel complemented my rich collection of shoes with a pointed nose. I regret that I did not immediately buy another pair. Perhaps, on my next visit to Barcelona, I will be lucky and the last pair of the right size will remain - this often happens to me.
The Mango bag at one time made my heart beat faster than usual: a spacious, trapezoidal shape, imitation of a crocodile under the skin, a deep brown color, adjustable handles, a round gold buckle. The blouse was the first in my wardrobe from school. Fell in love with her wavy Victorian collar and flared sleeves.
Vintage jacket, Daisy Street jeans, COS shoes
It is difficult to say for sure how many years this jacket has hung in my closet. I bought it in one of the vintage shops in the city center. It did not make sense to throw out: it did not occupy much space. Fashion is cyclical, so I was not surprised when the strange cell became popular again. I like the unusual combination of brown and pink, as well as a fitted silhouette that allows me to wear it with a wide belt like this.
Jeans ordered on your favorite site ASOS. Convenient dimensional grid will not allow even the most inexperienced customers to make mistakes. Hooked coloring and unusual design. Shoes - a recent acquisition in a trip abroad. She has always been partial to minimalist design, and Scandinavian brands are the best in this business. I trust their taste and quality.
Urban Grass Dress, Dr. Boots Martens
I bought the dress Urban Grass in my favorite Moscow showroom of Russian designers Axiom. It came with a combination, but the fabric seemed too steep to shade it with something else, so I decided to find a beautiful lace black bodice and high pants. The old Dr. perfectly fit into the image. Martens with engraved roses - this is how I thought to dance all night at the Outline techno festival this summer. If I didn’t grow together with the festival because of its cancellation, then I practically didn’t take off my dress all season.
Sweatshirt Ping Pong Club Moscow, vintage jacket N. Bonaparte, boots LNB Studio
I like to balance men's things with feminine accessories. For example, this Ping Pong Club Moscow sweatshirt is often wrung out by the boyfriend and I wear it with feminine shoes. The vintage N. Bonaparte jacket came up to me in all respects: the favorite era of the 80s, khaki, fitted silhouette, voluminous shoulders. I really like the fact that she recalls what Olivier Rousten does for Balmain, whose work, despite being overly glamorous, inspires me as a stylist. Boots LNB Studio - a favorite pair, made to order.
Urban Grass Coat, N. Bonaparte Vintage Cap, Corset and Mulley - Zara
Recently, madly in love with a combination of black and brown, so this coat-robe fell in love during the fitting. Here all the cards came together, although a beautiful combination of two colors of the earth would be enough. Then a vintage Muscovite hat from N. Bonaparte joined the coat. Corset and mule - trump shooting things, such replenish my wardrobe monthly. I like being both a model and a stylist at the same time - this makes it easier to search for things to shoot. If I get very tired, but I need to do a creative shooting, I can always collect kits from my own "graves" - very convenient.
Shirt and skirt - Axiom, boots LNB Studio
Almost all the most interesting and original things have recently come from the Axiom showroom. It presents an interesting selection of models in single copies. This skirt is just like that, wearing oversized shirts. In my wardrobe there are a lot of shirts of all sorts of colors and shapes - most of them are voluminous and with a man’s shoulder. To me, wide shoulders, such go the most.
Most of all I love this lavender - the color won me over. In my opinion, a shirt is a thing that will always help out. My life hacking sounds like this: if in the morning you realize that you have “nothing to wear”, you have overslept, or you just have little time to pack - put on a white oversize shirt (yours or someone else’s), pull on jeans with a high waist and add some Any accessory. Such a minimum helps me to look natural and at ease. If there is a double-breasted jacket in the closet - success is guaranteed.
ASOS Dress, New Balance Sneakers
I clearly remember when I bought this dress ASOS insanely beautiful blue color with a mesh insert and a deep cut on the back. The 2014 stood in the yard, and then combination dresses came into fashion again. I prefer to wear it with sneakers, and in the cool summer evenings to put on a jacket. This is one of my favorite summer party bows. Sneakers pleased myself before the New Year, having managed to order them with a good discount. I like the silver color, and in combination with this super-blue dress, the crosses look particularly advantageous.
Urban Grass Coat, LNB Studio Boots
The Russian brand Urban Grass is one of my favorites. Its founder Lena Chalova knows a lot about quality coats, oversized suits and elegant dresses. We have been friends for a long time, and I am sincerely glad of this. This double-breasted gray coat is my old dream, I can not believe that it came true. Already imagine how I will flaunt it in the spring in Moscow after Barcelona.
Boiajan tunic kimono, Lost Ink jeans, GoGo slip-on shoes, H & M bag, vintage scarf
I am not indifferent to eclecticism in clothes - I like to mix things of different style. I love to combine with each other models arguing with each other so that the output is a whole picture that clearly characterizes my mood. Like, for example, here.
Seeing once this very peculiar Boijan kimono tunic in your favorite showroom, despite the impressive price tag, I immediately thought: she will be mine. Denim breeches have become an ideal complement: expanding downwards, they balance a mighty top. Green and blue GoGo slip-on sneakers with sequins is the most successful summer purchase, ordered on the Lamoda.ru website. Many people are surprised when I pronounce this name, they say, there is nothing decent there. But I will say this: that stylist is good, who knows how to search. With a cool straw bag three and a half years ago, I was just lucky. I have never seen anyone like that and I am very happy - and even more because it is H & M for 500 rubles.
Rachel Angel Cloak, GoGo Slip-ons, Accessorize Bag
After analyzing my wardrobe after I was offered to play in this category, I realized that I love outerwear most of all, and not shoes, as I had previously thought. Rachel Angel's cloak is another wonderful lot from your favorite showroom, and along with these sleeves, a very good summer purchase that helped out in rainy Moscow days. I love green very much because it fits my eyes, skin tone and looks great with hair color.
I saw this bright bag from a good acquaintance, designer Zheni Kim, about five years ago. I remember that that day I jumped into her car in the area of "Mayakovskaya" and was simply stunned by the transparent inserts and this red color. I was even more surprised when I learned that she was from Accessorize. I was looking for a long time, but stubbornly, almost resigned to failure, I found it all the same in GUM and almost screamed for joy. I think it was because of her that I loved contrasts in clothes and bright details, thanks to which I immediately feel pleasant energy.
Qari Qris and Velichenko Jewelery Studio Jewelry
Minimalistic decorations are my main accessories. This silver ring was presented to me by the founder of the brand Qari Qris. Fell in love with him for his unusual design in the form of a moving pearl of deep blue color. Ring-transformer - an indispensable thing in my wardrobe, I wear very often. We can say that it brings good luck. A silver bracelet with a fiery red stone carnelian matches perfectly with my dark blue speckled suit.
I have long loved the brand Velichenko Jewelery Studio, but I met its founder relatively recently. As it turned out, Dasha's father is a jeweler with 19 years of experience, and Dasha herself is an architect. As a result, a very interesting tandem has emerged that has grown into a family business. I am attracted to such stories: wearing these jewelry, it is pleasant to realize that they were made with awe to their beloved work.
Ankle boots and boots - a gift
The story of this gift is very personal. But if this person suddenly reads this publication, I want him to know that I love him very much.
These coolest Austrian shoes made of natural suede got to me from my mother's friend - a person with a kind heart, who gives me interesting things, I appreciate every one. Apparently, therefore, I wear them very rarely, but I often use them on the set.
Victoria's Secret Backpack
This stunning shiny backpack is a gift for the first joint New Year of the man of my heart. I have never met anyone like this and every time I enjoy how much people like him. Especially models, as it is the most convenient way to wear heels and beech.
Jewelery - H & M
I love and minimalistic decorations, and large, bulky. In the second case, I am very impressed with the range of H & M. It is here that I find myself liking another pair of earrings or pendants for parties, as well as for filming. For example, this necklace is about six years old. I rarely wear it, but I often use it for creative shooting. Earrings - my recent catch, fell in love with them for an interesting design. Look amazing with collected hair and jackets.
