DJ and stylist Olya Stepanchenko 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. Today, our heroine Olya Stepanchenko - DJ and founder of the educational project Self Made Studio - spoke about the findings on eBay, trophies from Asia, Maison Martin Margiela for 40 euros and fatigue to save clothes.
Vintage Dress, Sandals Jason Wu x Melissa
There was a time when I spent all my free time on eBay. This is a whole era with feelings, adrenaline and frustration due to lost lots. I got this dress with a floral print and red satin lining at the time of the surge of "peasant chic" and "women-cakes". I usually wear it with a straw hat-kanote, which I safely left in Petersburg, like half of my wardrobe.
These sandals are absolutely universal, and most importantly, not killed. Were with me in Bali, Hong Kong, in the canyons of Egypt and the Moscow basins. I think there are real chances that they will outlast any pair in my wardrobe. Of course, she replaced the bows: she made it lush. Maybe because, as my friend says, I love to embellish myself. I love to be sweet.
Ralph Lauren vintage dress, COS pumps, Rada earrings
This dress is another eBay hi. One of the most successful purchases: Ralph Lauren's vintage dress, in perfect condition, and even for $ 30! True, she wore it only a couple of times - perhaps this is still too gothic for me, but the main object of desire of my neighbor. Probably, someday forever will remain on her rail, because every year my desire to accumulate belongings weakens.
Previously, when I worked a lot as a model, I constantly needed boats. I brazenly lied that I have them, and came to the show in sandals. In a good way, in the wardrobe of every girl should be a classic pair of shoes. I bought these COS, yielding to a small heel - after all, my height is 184 cm is no joke. Rada earrings fit almost everything. Elegant, but not flashy, and most importantly, beautifully shine.
Topshop bomber jacket, Three Floor sweatshirt, Shali skirt, shoes Topshop
I love Topshop. They always have great guys. Especially pleasant team in St. Petersburg shopping center "Gallery on Ligovsky". I bought a bomber jacket on super skis. In addition, this is the case when the thing from the mass market looks quite decent. For me, this is important, since I prefer to spend money on impressions, rather than on clothes. I'm not one of those who are trying to give a thing from the mass market for a designer, on the contrary, it is very pleasant to buy something cool for ridiculous money.
The Three Floor Sweatshirt is the only thing I brought from London: there was a rather tight schedule between shows. Despite the fact that this sweatshirt slightly increases my shoulders, I still bought it - I really wanted to buy something from the collection of local designers.
Skirt Shali - Petersburg brand, represented only in the online store Topbrands. White is now more popular than ever, so the skirt is finally walking with me to some summer party. The main thing is not to overdo it with cocktails - the color is capricious, and the length is dangerous.
This is a very popular shoe model. These boots have at least three of my friends. But this fact does not make this shoe less loved. Although I am not a fan of patent leather, in this version it is very appropriate.
Sweater X, vintage shorts, boots. Martens
The silver sweater is terribly uncomfortable: it is hot and cold, it is terribly pricked and blown through. But in it I feel like a Christmas tree decoration, but for the sake of it you can suffer. Purchased in St. Petersburg store Lomonosova 22: I like what the guys do, they are real fans of their work.
I can not imagine myself without inflated light denim shorts. I traded their predecessors from a friend for a pearl necklace from a Chinese province, but the shorts were torn to holes in Bali. By the summer I got new from my beloved girlfriend.
Dr. Boots Martens is the first thing bought for a stylist's salary. I then practically spent the night in a shopping center, dressing ten people a day - my legs just buzzed. It was necessary to have something comfortable. When I found the martins in such a cool color - I ordered without hesitation. Over time, they wiped beautifully. Perhaps you might think that I’m fighting football fans, but I don’t know anything about it except the words Zenit and Ronaldo!
Vintage leather jacket, Crop top Zar, Topshop Tall jeans, Caterpillar shoes
This jacket is my favorite thing in the world! Found in the legendary Petersburg second OFF on the bypass channel. I'm a fan of leather jackets. I have several, even custom-made, but this one is like first love. She has short sleeves, but as you know, when you love much you don’t notice any flaws.
Crop top is the only Zara thing in my wardrobe. The top has surprisingly long sleeves. When I was in school, buying new jeans was a real nightmare, they were all terribly short. Even now, finding long jeans is a real problem. Perhaps this pair - one of the few covering the ankle. Naturally, I do not get out of them.
Caterpillar shoes purchased during the first visit to Helsinki. I was terribly unlucky then. I forgot about Catholic Christmas, during which after 12 in the morning all the shops are closed. I was late, I managed to grab these shoes and then walked around the absolutely empty city, feeling like the heroine of the film "Resident Evil." In the caterpillators, it would probably be convenient to run away from zombies.
Unnamed jacket, Capslockshop sweatshirt, H & M jeans, unnamed clutch bag, Nike Air Max sneakers
It is not clear, it is a leather jacket or sheepskin coat, a jacket or a fur coat (as everyone stubbornly calls her). This item was brought to me as a gift by a friend from Thailand. The fur coat is very similar to my IKEA slippers. I am a fan of comfortable sweatshirts. This one is my favorite, for the humor over American Apparel, and even cool, poke out the eye-pink color.
I think the H & M Trend line is one of the strongest among the designer lines of the mass market. Jeans brought from Paris. They were gathering dust for a while, until they met a "fur coat" from Bangkok. Sneakers Nike Air Max - again buying from eBay. They came to me in a week. You can add only that I like beige sports shoes.
Clutch bag is another trophy from Asia. This time from Hong Kong. It reminds both Jil Sander and Wonder Anatomie, and in bars they ask why I came with a grocery bag.
Maison Martin Margiela x H & M Jacket, Slip On ASOS
I remember that collaboration made a lot of noise, especially in Petersburg. Everyone dared in an hour, and I still consider her the most successful at H & M. In Russia, I did not manage to get anything from the collaboration, which is probably for the best. But in Stockholm, this jacket cost me only 40 euros. Yes, I really like men's things.
The happiness that ASOS is now delivered in a week. I remember the times when we waited for packages for three months, wrote letters, and the readers of my blog asked me to tell in detail how to place an order. I hope this will happen to all online stores sometime.
Acne Dress, ASOS Slip Ons
As with jeans, it is difficult for me to pick a dress to the floor. Acne is always a great length, so I was lucky. I waited for discounts on Ready-to-Wear and bought this dress with a floral print at half price. It is not surprising that the dress survived to sales - even to me it was still a little bit longer. It's great that the slipons are back and you can wear them with an elegant dress and solve the issue with its length!
Weekday dress, Urban Outfitters shoes, unnamed glasses
I love concise things. As they say, put on and go! This weekday dress is perfect. This pair of shoes is absolutely versatile and incredibly comfortable, I can go to her half of Helsinki and dance at concerts of local rockers.
She visited her parents in Vladivostok and accidentally walked into an old shopping center. There, the emptiness is complete, and sellers literally hang on rare visitors. In short, one woman inclined me to try on the glasses, and already after the first couple it became obvious that I had to buy something. Chose these, quite good, you can even wear.
Levi's jacket
This vintage jacket is a purchase from the "Udelka" (vintage market on Udelnaya in St. Petersburg. - Ed.). Cost jacket a whole thousand rubles. Then friends resented - they said a terrible overpayment. But I always wanted to have such a jacket.
Collection of perfume Thierry Mugler Womanity
When people ask me why I am so devoted to the scent of Womanity Thierry Mugler, I reply that it is as heavy as my character. Leaves no one indifferent: either annoying or it is love.
Perfume Mad et Len, earrings H & M, pendant 2OR + BYYAT
French selections - perfume Mad et Len - a gift from a friend. Again, a heavy evening scent, smells like roses, but I love everything that smells like flowers. Joke.
The earrings are absolutely perfect, and I regret not taking a few pairs. They look expensive, but this is H & M. A flower pendant is one of those purchases we make in the heat of passion, and then the brand is completely unpronounced - 2OR + BYYAT. This trophy was found in Helsinki.
Olympia Le-Tan Clutch Book
Clutch with the image of Hansel and Gretel bought on Ready-to-Wear. It is a tribute to childhood spent reading the tales of the brothers Grimm, Hauff and Hoffmann.
Bang & Olufsen Headphones
It is a pity that they can not play - can not hear anything, with low frequencies in general trouble. But fit to all beige coat.
