//// Julia Lundsten for Ports and
Basso & Brooke
Posted on | October 8, 2009 | 2 Comments
It is always delightful to see a fellow Finn to make it in the big world — and Julia “Finsk” Lundsten is definitely doing that. In addition to her own collection I spotted her shoes from two spring collections: Ports and Basso & Brooke. I found some detail images from nymag.com. Lundsten for Ports looks like completely new collection (note: I haven’t seen images from Finsk ss collection… …they might be from there) with chunky twisted strap detail and super architectural heels. There are also brogues from white stingray, stingray platform pumps and some flats from interesting materials. I like the cheerful combination of pale blue and red — but the palette has also black and white, matte gold and nude.
Julia Lundsten for Basso & Brooke looks like a mix from Finsk 09 seasons completed with the experimental “Project One” numbers (see Susie on that for more information) and maybe few previously unseen colorways of 09 models.
All images from nymag.com.
I really like how Julia injects color to her designs. I recently saw the famous ponyhair wedge IRL with its color blocked sister (last image). To be honest I was more drawn to that color version — the cuts and color blocks complete the lines of the design in very satisfying way.
Adding some Finsk flair to my wardrobe is definitely a part of my spring shopping plan. The wooden chunky heels are probably not made for breaking walking records, but they’ll do great job just showing it off…

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.

Mäkin tykkäsin enemmän tuosta värillisestä versiosta kuin ponikarvaisesta. Nuo keikkui kummallisesti. Ei huono outo mutta enemmän kuitenkin kuin kuvittelin.
Finsk rules!

Onhan noissa wedgeissä jo korkeuttakin sen verran, että eivät tosiaan ihan helpoimmasta päästä ole! Ja täysin joustamaton puupohja tekee asioista aina astetta haastavampaa.
Minulle sattui jalkaan nuo omat puupohjakengät, eli nuo Topshopin valkoiset, kun kävin Helsinki 10:ssä. Nekin ovat pahuksen hankalat kävellä, vaikka korkeus on ihan inhimillinen. Sanoisin, että Finskit tuntuivat äkkiseltään paremmilta — tosin omat kenkäni ovat aavistuksen liian suuret ja kannan takana ei ole tukea, molemmat tekijät tuovat vähän lisähaastetta kävelyyn…
Finskin huikean korkea avokas oli suorastaan yllättävän hyvä!
