Hello everyone!

 

 

I’m thrilled to welcome you to my web portal! If you’ve already checked out the About the author page, you probably know who’s behind this website. Still, I’d love to introduce myself again.

 

My name is Olga Kalashnikova. Weber is more of a pseudonym. I was born in Estonia, in Narva, where I lived until I finished high school. Back then, I didn’t know “what I’d become when I grew up,” so to try living on my own, I moved as far as I could within Estonia—to Tartu. There, I studied at the Faculty of Economics for three years and graduated. Right after that, I moved to Spain, where I’ve been living ever since.

 

Two years ago, I discovered fashion styling, and since then, my life has been inseparably linked to the world of fashion. I have completed numerous courses in fashion styling and studied fashion history at the most prestigious institution in Andalusia – the Seville School of Fashion.

 

On this portal, I share my experiences and knowledge, which I have gained and continue to acquire. Everything I write here is my personal opinion, based on practical experience and independent study of books, articles, podcasts, and other materials related to fashion and its history. As a fashion stylist, I also plan to share projects on the portal once a quarter, accompanied by interviews and other exciting content. Estonia is full of creative people, and I’m convinced that together we can create editorials that rival glossy magazines.

 

Take, for example, this amazing series called “Pretty Little Joy,” which we shot a year ago on the frozen beach of Narva-Jõesuu. Sure, it’s not winter now, but that project still holds a special place in my heart. Let it be the highlight of the portal for this quarter.

 

I know who my readers are and what they need—what kind of people they are, and what inspires them. First and foremost, they’re as fashion-obsessed as I am. And if they aren’t yet, a month of reading my portal will surely get them there.

 

Because Haute Mood is for those who live for fashion!

 

 

Yours Truly,
Olga Weber
