FINNISH FASHION: TURO

AUGUST

So it is time for this month's Finnish fashion post.
 And since I didn't get enough of men's clothing in June when we shot some Rolf Ekroth goodies, I decided to dress myself as a guy again. This time in suits by the biggest manufacturer in the Nordic countries, Turo.
Turo started as a men's clothing label in 1938 but ended up specializing in suits. Timeless, high-quality and easy to wear, they say. And from what I've heard - a good quality-price ratio. Sounds good to me.
I fell for the oversized and boxy boyfriend fit of these jackets, especially the shiny black one. Would work really well with a slip dress.

FALL EDITORIAL

I'm wearing:
MONKI coats
H&M sandals
MARIMEKKO everything else

Even though my photos have started to be more and more editorial style (thanks to my amazing photographers), it would be nice to do something extra special every now and then. So, I started a new project. 
Like my monthly Finnish fashion posts wouldn't be enough, a new editorial will be up every new season starting from this fall. It will be exciting to challenge myself some more in both styling and modelling. Hope you like this idea!

A beautiful piece full of sequins that I got as my 18th birthday present from my parents. Not something I would wear everyday but it's perfect for those special occasions.

Let me introduce you to my fifth FF-designer, Rolf Ekroth. An award winning menswear designer from Aalto University.
It was about time I posed in some menswear, don't you think?

His collection has gotten it's inspiration from the documentary "June 17th 1994" by Brett Morgen. Some mixed sports events; NBA-finals, NHL championships, soccer World cups, baseball and golf. The latter can be seen as golf balls (Swarovski pearls) on that second outfit I'm wearing. All the materials he uses are chosen carefully and shipped all the way from Japan and Italy. 

And just between you and me; I've also heard a rumour about an upcoming unisex collection so stay tuned, girls.

We suited up with Vesa for a photoshoot a week ago. I love love love the results. For this first part I wore my all time favorite suit from Diesel and went for some ruffles for the second one. Gonna post it later!
