My style has always been influenced by hobbies and lifestyle. The school had a uniform - hence the craving for the classic style of clothing. And while I was studying at the University of Civil Aviation, I wore a jacket, special trousers and skirts everywhere. At the same time, I traveled on a skateboard and a bicycle all over St. Petersburg - so I had to alternate suits with jeans, sweatshirts and sneakers. As a teenager, I used to dress at Udelka. This is a popular second-hand in St. Petersburg - all fashionistas dressed there. After moving to Moscow and becoming a restaurant manager, I began to look more "feminine".

Now my style is rather minimalistic, it is absolutely comfortable for me and is always applicable to real life. I choose high quality and simple things. At some point, I threw away my entire wardrobe and recreated it, making it as basic as possible. I bought black trousers, a white shirt, jeans and a black dress. I rarely go to stores and always quickly determine what I need. I spend the minimum amount of time there - I get tired very quickly. I don't buy clothes in online stores either, because I love the feeling of contact with clothes.

My line of work definitely influences how I look. During the day I work in my project with the Kebabnstop shawarma - there I am dressed as practical as possible. In the evenings I play DJ sets in bars or at events and try to add a little polish by wearing a jacket, suit or dress. I do not have time to compose images for a long time, I think over all my bows while taking a shower in between works.

Cheap Monday sweater, COS jeans, New Balance sneakers

I wear the Cheap Monday sweater backwards. It is deliberately large, I feel safe and comfortable in it. One of my favorite things in my wardrobe. I already said that I love basic things - this also applies to shoes.

Jacket & Pants - Uniqlo U, Maison Margiela Sneakers

I'm not chasing brands - I don't care how much the item costs. But it seems to me that a "chemistry" should happen between you and the thing, because the thing is an addition and continuation of you. Both the jacket and trousers are from the men's department.

I have a long-standing love affair with these Replica sneakers. I have five pairs of them. I love literally everything about them, and they also have a story.

Apple Watch, earrings - at

I am not attached to accessories - I treat them very calmly.

The dress is made to order, vintage clips are at

I sewed a black velvet dress to order from a photograph when I saw some actress. I liked its straight silhouette.

Uniqlo shirt, Uniqlo U T-shirt, Zara jeans, Reebok sneakers, Dolce & Gabbana glasses

I love shirts - I have a lot of them. The most suitable ones for me are at Uniqlo. I think that in the men's department things are better, experiments with women's ones usually do not lead to anything - not finding anything, I run back to the men's room and grab a shirt or even jeans without trying on.

Massimo Dutti suit, Prada shirt

All my looks show that I choose simple and laconic things. Basically, I buy only those that I will definitely wear. Appreciate the quality and fit.

I bought this costume spontaneously. A friend from St. Petersburg came to me and suggested: "Let's dress up for dinner." I like Prada because it's a timeless brand. Each of their items is a good investment, they can be worn for years.

Uniqlo Cardigan, Bimba y Lola dress, Maison Margiela sandals

Traditionally, “feminine” things in everyday life I do not wear so often, so my friends react to them especially actively and always give compliments.

Cristian Dior shirt, Petra bra, Zara jeans, Comme des Garçons x Converse sneakers

Petra bought a bra with a certificate that friends presented for the New Year in Kazbegi.Recently, I have not pampered myself with beautiful underwear, but friends always know how to please. I bought a shirt in Rome at a flea market, and jeans from the men's department.

Marc Jacobs suit, Comme des Garçons x Converse sneakers

My love for costumes is noticeable with the naked eye - you never need to think long about what to wear with them, everything is ready. With clothes, in general, everything is simple for me: like it or not. If in doubt, I don’t take it, because I know that I will not wear it.
