Fashion, oh fashion....

I know the summer streetguide hasn't emerged as promised but honestly the absolutely crap weather besides the week i spent abroad has kinda slowed it down.

Last week i came across another great thing in spring Helsinki and that is fashion as raw as it gets. Every being capable of dressing themselves or having someone to do it for them have been strutting around in their best summerwear. It's absolutely wonderful to realize how good looking people this town holds and that they have only been submerged in the puffy stuffed sea of warm clothing, waiting to bare it all and get noticed again.

Also the graduation season is upon us and thankfully a bunch of fresh clothing designers are putting together their annual display of talent. I went to see the show by Lahden Muotoiluinstituutti last week and this coming wednesday is the taik's turn. Here are my favorites from the first one.

I was especially thrilled to see these beautiful under-and swimwear, nothing great in that genre has come out recently.

_Design Fashion_

Had a great time putting together a fashion show with professionals at the opening of helsinki design week. Seductive make-up and sleeked hair were the key frames for elaborate gowns and innovative new design. Make-up artist Mariela created the plastic lace masks out of a table cloth! Here's my favourite shots from a great looking show :)

Finnish Catwalk

Had a great couple of days working at the Finnish Catwalk fair.

Great people around, all very professional (even the 5yr-old models :) and despite early starts everyone had time to enjoy the sun in between shows.

Here's some of my favourite moments both on- and backstage.
