//// Discovering Camilla Mikama

Posted on | April 17, 2010 | No Comments

One of the good finds from Helsinki Fashion Stock Sales was Camilla Mikama. She studied fashion design at Lahti University of Applied Sciences and in Barcelona Escola Superior de Disseny — and actually has had her own collection since 2008. Curiously I had not heard about her before, there indeed is lot to discover in this little country alone!

The images are from her autumn / winter collection 2010. I especially love her cutout dresses and tops in easy to wear shapes and the beautiful, sculptural ruched jackets. I had an opportunity to browse through her earlier pieces, and the materials are superior, lots of silk in deliciously different forms. Seeing her pieces in real life makes me really wonder how slowly the Finnish retailers take in the young designers collections.

Her pieces are at sale in Goodis (I will get back to that shop pretty soon, my little collaboration project is also connected to there via Vietto) and Lux-shop in Helsinki.

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 =).
