My taste has been molded influenced by my parents, who always dressed - and dressed me and my brother - in the fashion of their youth. At home, there were definitely Burda Moden magazines from the 80s and 90s, according to the patterns from which my mother sewed things. There were models with a high waist, lowered shoulder line, oversized size - partly my preferences today are due to nostalgia for childhood.
As a teenager, I dressed like everyone in school, then I did not have a single drop of personality. At seventeen I entered an art school and there I met local fashionistas. We could wear long skirts, weird sweaters, grandfather's flannel shirts. Then everyone did not care what shoes you were in, but over time I began to pay more attention to them. So, almost all of my money was spent on buying recently released adidas, Nike and Martins models.
I never liked ordering clothes online, I need to try everything on. To get into my wardrobe, a thing must be unusual. Recently, comfort has become important to me, so I began to give preference to natural materials.

This sweater my dad gave my mom for my birthday. He passed on to me by inheritance, and I really cherish it - still like new, although my age. It's amazing what quality things of that time had.

I bought a belt with rhinestones at the Udelka flea market in St. Petersburg. They love to take him to the shooting.
Valentino suit, scarf and belt - "Volchok", Reebok sneakers
I have known the Volchok brand for a long time - my friends worked there and I often came to visit them. Sometimes I filmed for them, and at the same time I bought something for myself.

Handmade balaclava
These balaclavas are knitted by Dasha Utochka's mother, Dasha invented a startup for her so that she could earn money on retirement.

I love extraordinary models, interesting colors and styles. I want to wear something that no one else has, or basic, but solid things. These trousers have an interesting color and a perfect fit, they accentuate the figure.

T-shirt "Beauty", Colin's jeans, Leroy Merlin chains, Reebok sneakers
This is one of the T-shirts that parents make in their factory. I love the long sleeve cut. Previously, I could wear it to a rave, but now I wear it rather during the day, in a casual manner.

Fur coat "Bolshevichka"
Topshop pants, boots - at
I love that this fur coat is so voluminous. When I put it on, people on the street often come up to me to compliment me. I found it in second-hand shops: I think that you can always dig up something worthwhile in second-hand shops, although I myself try not to get carried away with them too much.
