Yekaterina Mukhina, Elle’s former editor-in-chief and stylist, answered questions from the Sportshik telegram channel hosted by Victoria Davydova, former editor-in-chief of Vogue, Glamor and Tatler. Mukhina talked about the main summer item in the wardrobe, trends and stars that appeal to her style. We publish the most interesting quotes.

Favorite sporty outfit

Sweatpants with a jacket, trench coat or jacket. Sweatpants can be washed or stretched with the knees drooping, such as America Vintage or adidas. This is the second season I’ve worn sports shorts. But not in a sporty way like sweatpants, but with an oversized jacket. Jackets are my love, I have many different jackets. I look for them at flea markets, usually at men’s stores.

The main thing for the summer

Mike is an alcoholic.

Stars whose style you like

Hailey Bieber is the queen of sportswear. I love how Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski dress in everyday life, but they often look awkward on the red carpet. I love Chloe Sevigny’s style, how she mixes things up. Lena Perminova is in great shape, she has a perfectly pumped body. Clothes that not everyone can wear suits her very well.

About choosing your style

It is important to know your proportions, the features of the figure, in order to emphasize your pluses and hide your minuses. For example, as a former athlete, I had strong calves before my leg injury. The length of the skirt depends on the shape of the legs. Minis suit me but not knee-length skirts.

Unremarkable trends

I emotionally watch how Laura Dzhugeliya or Natalya Goldenberg wear floral, striped and other printed dresses, but this is not my story. I don’t wear baby dresses and A-lines. They visually increase me in volume, I become like a woman in a teapot. Also, I don’t react to platforms and other heavy shoes regardless of fashion. Choosing trends, you should build your figure.

favorite wardrobe item

Fashion or not, I have always worn and will wear biker jackets.
