//// Ivana Helsinki S/S 10
Posted on | October 15, 2009 | 4 Comments
Paola Suhonen is one of the few established Finnish young designers. Her own label Ivana Helsinki started on 1998 and it has constantly growing fan base. Personally I was not a huge fan of Paola’s early caravanar aesthetic with strong seventies vibe — but this young woman has a good eye for print and an item or two from her collections has always grabbed my attention. Fortunately she has expanded her source of inspiration and I loved deeply her summer collection Dead Butterflies couple of years ago.
Next summer comes actually quite close. I’m not totally wild about the horse print, but circus theme and polka dots from large ones to gigantic blobs sure would be welcome to my wardrobe. Let’s start from those insanely refreshing leggings and one of the polka dot dresses. And yes, please, you may add that gorgeous perspex jewel top/harness on top of those, thank you!
BTW, that white pom-pom cape has so obvious DIY potential that it literally makes my hands itch.

I'm especially interested in young designers creations, non-established labels and indie fashion. So if you have something interesting to show, feel free to contact!
You can find Finnish design from both specific and some outfit posts - but both are tagged.
You might be also interested in DIY posts, How-to posts, DIY ideas - or my adventures in Etsy =).

I think one of my friends is actually on making the pom-pom cape already! I’ll try to see and ask how it’s coming along…
