LAST ONE

The 13th and last Finnish Fashion post featuring Mannisto, - a menswear label that was established in 2015 by Julia Männistö, a Colombian-born and Finnish-bred Central Saint Martins graduate. 

The Autumn/Winter collection is her second outing after her graduate collection, which was even praised by a semi-finalist position in the prestigious LVMH contest. The A/W collection 'Los Gatos Locazas' is an interesting mix of feminine silhouettes, sturdy construction site garments and traditional South American textile art. 

BACK TO THE 80'S

The results of a spontaneous Saturday night photoshoot. Don't know if it was my over grown bangs or what that got me inspired of the eighties.

FINNISH FASHION: ANNA SARASOJA

DECEMBER

The last FF-post for this year is about a fashion design student at Aalto University, Anna Sarasoja. Her BA collection consists of 7 looks which all got their inspiration from war pilots, WWI nurses and the Finnish movie Calamari Union by Aki Kaurismäki. 

She loved the cool clothes and attitude of the movie characters but wanted to combine them with something more feminine - this is where the nurses got in the picture. Red and white, which are the dominating colors of the whole collection, were taken straight from that world. Long knotted fabric strips on the other hand got their inspiration from war pilots. 
A very successful mix when the result looks like this.

A fashion story we shot for Around Journal many many months ago is now live here. Eeva also sent me some unseen photos that I am now allowed to show you as well. I love how good they turned out to be even though working with your friends might sometimes be far from professional.

This is what it looks like when two inspired people meet on an empty beach in the middle of winter. 
Feeling so thankful for these super talented friends, like Sanna, that I've got the privilege to work and share ideas with.
 More to come!

FINNISH FASHION: ELINA ÄÄRELÄ

NOVEMBER

photos by Mikko Rasila

Elina Äärelä is a fashion design student from Aalto University, with her main focus on menswear. 

In her BA collection she got inspired by the slideshows "Boy Town" by Nina Manandhar and "Twentysix Different Gas Stations in Africa" by Frank Verdier. She fell in love with the flower printed and beautifully colored clothes that could be seen in both of them and wanted to get the same feeling to her collection by using red and blue as the main colors.

The crystals that she applied on the knees and chest on every piece were sponsored by Swarovski.

This year Elina wanted to try something new and is now working on a womenswear collection for upcoming spring. 

Can not wait to see it!

Thank you Sokos Hotel Vaakuna for letting us shoot in this beautiful lobby.
