Ask Evelina
Question 4
Q“What fashion editors are doing, while waiting for the show to start?” Irina Larina, Moscow
A Evelina Khromchenko answers to the question of Irina Larina
Before Celine show everybody is looking through the inspiration book, which Phoebe Philo, Creative Director of Celine, always puts on the chairs. Let’s take a look what inspired her this time.
Well, variative enough, starting with fruits and meat, ending with artificial charms and Truman Capote. Speaking about young designers, who always complaining, that they don’t have the budget of big Houses. Take a look at this runaway. Plywood is not a precious material, isn’t it? And plexiglass, and kraft paper, usually used to wrap flowers.

Question 3
Q“I went to Istanbul, it is a very beautiful city, full of the worst dressed tourists in the world, to my mind. Please give them advice how to look good.” Irina I., Moscow
A Evelina Khromchenko answers to the question of Irina I.
Hi! My name is Evelina Khromtchenko and I’m in Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. It is a beautiful building, take a look by yourself.
It is a really beautiful city, where you should come only excellently prepared. All in all, there are a lot of nice shops with local designers’ clothes here, Istanbul has its own fashion week and you can find a lot of wonderful new outfits. But is it better to take your own basic wardrobe here. I was always wondering, what is the reason for tourists to dress is such a bad way, why is it impossible to “embellish” the city by yourself; to represent your own country in the best way. But for some reason people do not think about it all or only in a last minute before trip. What would I recommend for a nice excursion in Bosphorus, Istanbul to like yourself, make a good impression and not to spoil the beauty around you? I think the silk jumpsuit is exactly what you need. It is not only because it is in fashion this season. The thing is that you feel very comfortable; you don’t need to think about mixing ups and downs, accessories. Speaking about shoes, I would recommend sandals, because it is the most fashionable and the most “right” shoes at the same time to suit the situation.
I chose sandals. Don’t fill your luggage with lots of accessories, you probably wouldn’t need them. There is a lot of wonderful jewelry on the local markets here, which you probably would like to buy. Take a look at the ring my elder friend bought for me yesterday on the Grand Bazaar. I think I wouldn’t take it in the nearest time, because the green jade color is exactly what you need this season.
