How to let go of past relationships and start living a new life. Full closet: model and DJ Karina Istomina about her favorite images Karina Istomina how to survive a breakup

Karina's wardrobe universal option for every modern girl whose day is filled with many things, but who does not forget about style.

“To be honest, you can’t drag me into the store. I love to walk among the counters in huge grocery stores, but I bypass racks of clothes.

My wardrobe is replenished somehow by itself. Sometimes I borrow T-shirts from my boyfriend, or I accidentally see something in the window that I think I can’t live without, or they give me something.

I love simple and plain t-shirts, t-shirts, jeans, shirts and skirts. The only thing I have a lot of is running shoes. It seems to me that they will soon evict me from the house. And if the program "Home" still existed on MTV, then the first thing I would say: "OK, guys, now we're going to watch my sneakers." But despite such irresponsibility, I am often told that I am good look :)

To be honest, you can’t drag me into the store. I love to walk among the counters in huge grocery stores, but I pass by racks with clothes.

And in New York, people come up on the streets and say that I have, for example, a cool cape. Although I bought it with the last money in some unknown store, because I was terribly cold. So the high price of a thing is not always a guarantee that it is cool.

I have basic wardrobe“for all occasions”, but in the daily rhythm I like to be always comfortable. If it's winter, then it's turtlenecks, jeans and warm jumpers. If the warm season, then dresses, skirts and shirts. And, of course, a pair of shoes and a floor-length dress to cheer up and attract attention.

• Jeans from my second hand boyfriend in Williamsburg.
• Urban Outfitters T-shirt
• Topshop jeans
• Sneakers Puma (Street Beat)

Universal things can often become a guarantee perfect image on every day. The beauty of this “look” is in its simplicity: basic black skinny will always “make friends” with a T-shirt with the logo of your favorite band and a bulky old-school denim jacket.

• So easy dress
• Shoes no name

I also stick to simple combinations as an “outing” look: the most concise dress with a neckline looks impressive thanks to the juicy color, and black pumps enhance the effect.

• YS'Jemma shirt and skirt
• Sneakers Puma (Street Beat)

A simple cut can always be balanced with an ironic detail - I fell in love with this shirt because of the funny print with horses.

• Jacket by ASOS
• Aloha Gaia Jewelry
• Topshop jeans
• Vans (Street Beat) sneakers

Total black is a win-win option, especially when sneakers or sneakers are “included” in the image - this way you can go to a concert or play a set in a club.

• Cos shirt
• Trousers
• Tiffany ring
• Sneakers Asics (Street Beat)

I love the images in men's style: they are comfortable and emphasize femininity in contrast, while giving you a little hooligan mood. I like the trousers for their functionality, and I took the shirt from my boyfriend - perfect White shirt can only be male.

• Monki top and skirt
• Vans (Street Beat) sneakers

Despite the fact that now there is still snow outside the window, I continue to dream of warmth and summer, when I can wear bright sneakers and a Monki space skirt and walk all night long.

As a child, the Instagram celebrity was fond of history and learned to play the electric guitar. She gained experience in modeling at school years. According to Istomina, her parents gave her friend a camera and the girls began to take pictures of each other. Schoolgirls published their photos on social networks, and in 2011 photographer and fashion scout Maria Kuzmenkova contacted Karina. Karina has been freelancing for some time, trying to sell her photographs. After graduating from school, she became a model for the Avant Models agency, with which she collaborated for several years. Shooting for lingerie brands and participating in shows allowed the young model to pay for her studies at the Higher School of Economics. In an interview, she often talks about how difficult it was to combine work and study, but the attentive attitude of the teachers and her own determination did not let her give up.

At the end of 2013, a young dark-haired beauty starred in a video clip for Sergey Lazarev's song "Into the Heart". The director of the video was Konstantin Cherepkov, it was he who came up with the rebellious image in which the model appeared. In the video, which can be called more like a mini-movie, she punches a pop star in the ring. Karina's blows symbolized the pain of parting and hit right on target, breaking the heart of the hero Sergei Lazarev. In 2015, in an interview for the independent university online publication The Vyshka, Istomina talked about her dreams of becoming a world podium star, however, they were not destined to come true.

After graduating from university, Karina decided to leave the modeling business. Istomina does not speak directly about the reasons that pushed her to this act, but music, which for a long time took the place of a hobby, gradually became her main occupation. Karina published longreads on social networks, and her sets were played in metropolitan clubs. The music of the young DJ was included in the mandatory playlist of every fan of electronic music, and Karina herself was inspired by the work of Kurt Cobain, whose songs she loved to listen to since childhood.

Istomin about musical preferences (interviewElleGirl , 2018): “I was at the performance of Boulevard Depo and was in a pleasant shock. He is a very cool dude with an incredible vibe. Even now I listen to the LAUD group a lot, I strongly advise you to pay attention to them.

Instagram Karina Istomina

In the summer of 2016, Karina posted a note on Instagram for the first time, in which she announced the painful end of her relationship. Subscribers supported her, but for some, the news about the psycho-emotional problems of this impudent dark-haired girl came as a surprise. Looking at the wide smile of their favorite, the followers did not even know about the depression, which almost cost her a diploma from a prestigious university.

About food and sports

I have never lost weight on purpose. It annoys me when they write that I exhaust myself with diets, do not eat or drink. It is not true. I just go to the gym 4 times a week, swim, then go to the Finnish bath.

“I come to my mother for cutlets with mashed potatoes, borscht and dumplings.”

I have no dietary restrictions, I just try not to eat chips - I love them since childhood. I live alone and I'm too lazy to cook: I eat in cafes and restaurants, once a week I go for something Georgian in Khachapuri. When I miss homemade food, I come to my mother for cutlets with mashed potatoes, borscht and dumplings.

I don't work with a coach. I spied the necessary exercises on Instagram, remembered them and unsubscribed from all fitness accounts. I have been going to World Class Triumph for the third year because of the pleasant contingent: only girls, children and elderly ladies. In other clubs, men constantly pestered me - when I dirty head pumped the press for the 30th time. For me, sport is a purely intimate thing.

About beauty

"My eyebrows are frizzy - I feel naked until I fix them."

Makeup takes me about seven minutes. I do not paint every day, I just comb my eyebrows and style them with transparent MAC Brow Set gel. I always carry it with me. My eyebrows are frizzy - I feel naked until I fix them. If I'm going to a party, I put on Foundation Touche Eclat, Mascara Volume Effet and Color Couture Palette (all by Yves Saint Laurent), Matte M.A.C. and Lip Pencil M.A.C., highlighter Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer.

I am not against the mass market, but I do not risk buying it: I have problem skin, if I try something new, acne and oily sheen appear.

For care I use Kiehl’s: masks, Ultra Facial Cleanser gel, alcohol-free tonics and herbal lotion for problematic skin. After long flights, I lie in the bathtub with Lush bombs.

I go for a facial every two months and inject Botox into my armpits to keep me from sweating. I do manicures only at Ma&Mi, I get my hair cut and painted at Ryabchik by Pavel Natsevich. I trust him only with cardinal changes: Pavel made me a bob and dyed me blonde.

"Smoky eyes usually make me look like a panda."

Journalist, model and DJ Karina Istomina decided to tell what it's like to psychologically overcome all the painful stages of parting

Everyone has gone through painful breakups in their lives. Such a gap, when mental pain develops into physical pain and from unexpected flashbacks becomes cloudy in the eyes. Each of us in this difficult period of life is faced with many problems, patterns and delusions. Often we draw the wrong conclusions, which then brings us trouble in future relationships. And it turns out that the hard experience that we gain does not bring the proper results.

Three months ago I had the most painful breakup in my life. And perhaps in the future there will be a lot of such gaps, because I am only 22. But I sincerely want to admit that sometimes the things that I encountered during this period were very difficult for me.

I have been going to a psychoanalyst for six months and I started going because I realized that there are certain thoughts in my head that require explanations to myself, and I feel uncomfortable living with them. And when my ex-boyfriend and I broke up, I went to therapy three times a week. I know that not everyone has the courage to go digging into the dark corners of their consciousness, but it turned out that there are phases in parting that a person must live through. And it helped me a lot to cope with all this. Perhaps my thoughts will help some of you.

The first thing that happens after the phrase "I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore" is deafening pain and shock. I don't remember that day well, only in snatches, as if in a dream. I remember the green bench, the workers painting the fence, and my crying ex-boyfriend. Although it was he who did not love me, he was also hurt. I couldn't say a word.

I took my things the next day. If there is a tenth circle of hell according to Dante and I get there, then I will forever collect these things from closets. What is the best thing to do in such a situation? Take a friend or girlfriend loved one. While I was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a blanket and sobbing, my friend took the suitcase, helped me pack my things, said that we had nothing else to do here, and in the car turned on Jay-Z's "Lucifer". Believe me, it is very difficult to watch how bad a person is, but that's what friends are for. And if not for her, then I would have left that apartment for a very long time.

And here's a piece of advice. Friends are the people who support you. Often they won't tell you the truth or what will be painful for you to hear, because you can get into a fight with them because of it. They want the best for you, but you are responsible for your actions. And often, when I met with friends and talked about my problems, they reacted more calmly than I expected, so it seemed to me that everything was not so scary. Even when it was very scary.

And so I moved back to my parents. I almost did not live there for 2.5 years and returned back, as if in the first year of university.

When everything is over and you need to start living differently, the work of grief begins. The work of grief is a completely natural process in which a person goes through the painful stages of a breakup. Therefore, when they say to you: “He / she is not worthy of you, why are you worried?” - you don't have to listen. If you compress this pain in yourself, it will come out of you for years, bringing with it a mountain of complexes and delusions. The hardest and most courageous thing is to face all this and survive.

It all starts with the fact that it is impossible to believe. “How so? How could this happen? It's impossible! A week ago, I cooked breakfast for him and we chatted while we drank tea.”

I couldn't unpack my suitcases for a week. Mom said that I live at the station, but I just couldn't even open them. At this point, the stage of "non-acceptance" begins. You may have dreams that you are still together, or that this person is returning. Roughly speaking, in your heart your relationship is in a coma, under drips, but still breathing. Gradually they die, you put them in a coffin, hammer in nails, cover them with earth and put up a tombstone.

Listen to your dreams. This is your subconscious speaking. Through all the stages of parting, I had a lot of dreams with exactly those sensations that met me after some time.

In reality, it is very difficult to maintain associations with this person. I unfollowed him and our mutual friends from Facebook for a while, after warning them about it. I couldn't even open my phone, because when I even looked at my photos, I remembered that we were together. The only thing I was in awe of was the music. I realized that I can not now listen to the music that I listened to before. I didn't want her to send me to that moment of pain and remind me of the past. I took one album and listened to it for a month, until it became much easier for me. It was Kanye West's 808s & heartbreak album. Firstly, it's from 2008, so you don't hear it often. Secondly, now I can turn it on and be transported to that April. It's like a box of memories. Walking helped me too. I met with friends and walked a lot alone so that I could immediately go to bed tired. The most difficult period of the day for me was the morning, because I really liked to wake up with him. And now every morning, when I opened my eyes, I immediately felt very sick.

At first I could not eat, I felt sick, I felt unwell, I constantly wanted to sleep. At the most unexpected moments, I could cry, because gradually the understanding came that we were no longer together.

We begin to feel sorry for ourselves, it seems that such a person will no longer be in our life. The best, the most beloved and the most beautiful. Some of these thoughts are indeed true. There will never be such a person in your life. And it will not be as good and bad as it will be with him either. But you need to understand that it will still be good and bad, but in a DIFFERENT way. And so does this person with you. Each of you is still special to each other. Only you had these jokes, these common interests, nicknames, memories and sex.

You can't lock yourself in a room. You need to see friends, constantly say this story, because this way it becomes more conscious for yourself, go somewhere, start changing your life. Two weeks after parting, due to fortunate circumstances, I moved and began to live alone. It really cheered me up, and I immediately began to feel that everything was changing. I started touring and found a new job (I worked in a team with my ex-boyfriend so I also lost my job. Even with new work I ran away very quickly because I realized that it was too unconscious a decision - it made me think about other things as well. Distraction is good, but you can't just ignore your feelings.

I went with a friend to Paris and was preparing to defend my diploma. It was in Paris, a month after the breakup, that I realized that it was all over. And it happened quite by accident. I went up to the apartment and thought: “Oh, now wi-fi will connect, I need to write to him that everything is fine with me. Stop. Karin, who should I write to?

This is how the awareness phase began. And the dreams that I was looking for him somewhere or talking to him have passed.

But then the most unpleasant begins. Intoxication. If before that you felt only pain, regret for the loss and longing for a person, now you are starting to remember everything that hurt you, offended you or with which you did not agree all this time. Anger is a very strong feeling. This eternal dialogue in the head with frequent monologues about what had to be answered then is very difficult to stop. But it doesn't need to be stopped. It's good to be angry. Everything needs to come out of you.

I got it all in a slightly complicated form. Firstly, I can endure for a very long time, even when it is not required. And when something did not suit me, I could remain silent, but still do it my own way. But keep quiet. Therefore, anger for 2.5 years of silence increased every day more and more. I just got angry and went to the gym every day and went swimming to have a clear head at least for a while. And as soon as the anger almost dried up, there was a new blow.

I realized that there are very few beautiful and respectful partings. And it certainly wasn't our case. Apparently the work of my ex's grief young man happened in express mode, when we were still together, because a month later it turned out that he didn’t just stop loving me, but that he left for another woman, whom he had already been with while I was. It turns out that another person slept on sheets that I matched to the color of our curtains and glasses in the kitchen.

How did I manage? When I found out about this, I had to write a diploma. And in general it was impossible to think about anything else, except for the final exams. And it seemed to me that I easily accepted this news, but my body told me no. I thought that only Russian classics have young ladies who lie with a "falling" from bad news. In general, I could not get up for two days, because I had such a cystitis on a nervous basis (the girls will understand me), that the pain paralyzed me. There were many questions, but it was sincerely infuriating that it fell on the very period of time when I graduated from the university, and he knew how serious it was, but he didn’t care. And just like that, another pattern collapsed.

In such situations, you need to remember only one thing. You can't compare yourself to anyone. Never. And I'm really proud of that, because there was no competition in my head, and I don't feel worse. It just happened. And after all this time, I understand that it is so much better.

And what about the end, you ask? When you get tired of being angry and hating, you don't care anymore. You are grateful to this person for all the warm moments together, for the efforts and love. That's when it starts new life. It starts when you wake up in the morning and realize that you have a lot of things to do and worries that you enjoy doing, when your phone is torn from messages from people you want to meet, and when you have peace of mind, as if in calm.
