The chief editor of The Blueprint Dasha Knyazeva 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 related stories. This week, our heroine is The Blueprint editor-in-chief Dasha Knyazeva, who told us about the love of simple things, outerwear and neat decorations.
I wear things for years, the old ones are my favorite. Everything perfect scares me, so I am not worried about the small holes on the sweaters or the scuffs on the shoes. I have a calm attitude to the mass market and do not have any prejudices towards it, and I buy brands more seriously at sales. The question of whether to spend money on a trip or on a bag is not worth it for me. Always choose the first. It is important for me to be comfortable: I almost never buy clothes that are heavily wrinkled. My uniform - voluminous items several sizes larger, dresses and jeans. Because of this, I easily go on trips and do not waste much time in the morning.
Coat Litkovskaya, COS jeans, blouse Chloé
I have an inexplicable love for the outerwear of the Ukrainian brand Litkovskaya, and this coat is my great success. Bought on sale: it is lonely dois almost to the end. It can be worn in a hundred different ways, I like most of all to roll in it, as in a blanket. From the side it may seem that it is huge, although its actual marked size is XS.
Nina Donis sweater, Sophia Kokosalaki shorts, Nike sneakers
I know at least seven girls who have the same Nina Donis sweater. It does not bother me at all. In winter, wore it every day and next winter, apparently, I will, too.
This pair of sneakers is like ballet slippers, as I recently forgot to tell me an unfamiliar young man in the subway. If I were asked to choose a single pair of shoes, I would not hesitate to stop at this one.
Dress & Other Stories, Miu Miu Sandals
Initially, I was wary of the & Other Stories brand, she tried to be too fashionable that no one likes right now. Over time, the Swedes relaxed and began to do such simple things as this dress.
The sandals look like a museum piece, which at first confused me. Perhaps the only pair of high-heeled shoes that I wear. When I come to my hometown, my mother constantly laments that they won't let me go to a local party in sneakers.
Acne Studios Dress, Alexander Wang Ankle Boots
I like to shop on trips so that I can associate places with things. Dress shirt bought in Malmo. Now, putting it on, all the time I remember that time and the journey. If I’m not mistaken, Acne is now doing such season-to-season, modifying just a little.
Dress & Other Stories, Tod's Loafers
The division of clothing into day and evening seems to me outdated. I can calmly wear this dress to work, but for some reason I go to it more often all weekend. Loafers were acquired immediately after graduation. Every year I love them more and more.
Ashish overcoat, Acne Studios jeans, American Apparel shirt, Miu Miu sandals
I accidentally bought this coat with some incredible discount at Kuznetsky Most 20 a few years ago. At the same time, although I am more than indifferent to the work of the Ashish brand, I cannot imagine my wardrobe without this coat. By the way, KM20 is probably my favorite store in the city. There are wonderful people working there, a pleasant choice of clothes and I always get lucky on their sales.
Shirt & Other Stories, Miu Miu Shorts, Prada Bag, Tod's Loafers
That's how I look every day: a calm shirt and loose shorts or jeans. About the origin of this shirt most often asked by girls. It seems to me that it is immediately apparent how convenient it is.
Céline shirt, pants & Other Stories, adidas by Stella McCartney sneakers
Céline, of course, is a dream brand. I am not a fan of overly clever things, but this shirt is an exception. It can be refilled in different ways in the pants, and you can wear a dress. Simple pants trousers from & Other Stories were perfect. In my opinion, they will soon come to an end, and I don’t know where to look for a replacement.
Cloak (custom-made), MTWTFSS Weekday dress, Chanel bag, Todd's loafers
Most of all I like outerwear. We have the entire entrance hall littered with my jackets and coats - I think the neighbors will evict me soon.
Friends joke that with this bag we rooted to each other. In part, this is true: I carried her to such an extent that she rubbed herself badly, and the chain broke in one place. When I went with her to an interview with Justine Picardy, the author of the book about Chanel, she exclaimed: "Oh, what a nice vintage handbag you have!" Needless to say that before the vintage she still has a couple of decades.
T-shirt group "Labor" denim jacket Acne Stuidos
T-shirt with lily of the valley - favorite T-shirt favorite group. Acne denim jacket brought from the first trip to New York. It became for me a real symbol of exploring the city. One story is connected with it. One summer evening in Moscow, a friend lent me a jacket to go home was not so cold. I forgot to give and left somewhere. Then it turned out that her mother threw out the jacket, considering that it was an ancient thing. After all the circumstances, they unexpectedly bought me similar to Matches Fashion. Now the new version is more expensive for me a hundred times! Thank you dear family Kolesnikovs.
Tatuna Nikolaishvili boots, pants & Other Stories, COS shirt
I was a little upset when these pants were a couple sizes larger than necessary. But she measured them with this shirt and decided not to suture. Everything together looks as relaxed as possible, and it is comfortable - like in pajamas.
I wear boots with lacing and thick soles with everything in a row and only regret that they can not be worn in summer. Unkillable model, ideal for Moscow weather, can be found in different brands - from Decathlon to СOS. My Tatuna Nikolaishvili of rough skin is also good.
Perfume Nasomatto Blamage, Métaboles Ys-Uzac, Nasomatto Black Afgano, COMME des GARÇONS Sherbet
Strange aromas - thick, warm and heavy - mine. I apply only on the wrist, but it happens that for a few days I forget about their existence at all. The most beloved ones are Nasomatto, which my dad gave me, and COMME des GARÇONS Sherbet, which I took from my boyfriend.
Céline jewelery, Louis Vuitton x Sofia Coppola clutch
The collaboration between Sofia Coppola and Louis Vuitton seems to me almost a historic event. This neat little handbag is one of the most elegant things I have. The Céline jewelery looks a bit aggressive, but surprisingly fits almost all of my clothes.
Marni Jewelry
Marni jewelry is always catchy and attracts attention, but is absolutely not vulgar. Despite their reproduction and recognition, I still continue to wear them with simple blouses and white T-shirts.
Marni jewelery, anna.m.objects and Himère rings
Dina is a real master and an inspiring example: she decided to change her boring profession to jewelry and did not lose. Her brand Himère is now one of the best in Moscow.
The rings of my friend Ani Maslovskaya are small, but very noticeable and beautiful. Instantly turn your hand into an object of art that you want to look at. I am very glad that everything is working out for her. Soon, he says, will make earrings, the same neat.
