//// Showing it out
Posted on | April 28, 2010 | 7 Comments
I had a very welcome opportunity to see Kaksi-Två’s first fashion show at Kaapelitehdas today. I have been a fan of their great legwear and awesome leather accessories for a while, so I was very eager to see how far they had pushed their designs for a whole show and collection.
There indeed were some very familiar elements, leggings with marble & zebra prints and couple of new prints. The leathers had expanded from great soft bags to vests and accessories plus one striking cape / poncho that was paired to marbled catsuit. I also loved the combination of black sheer layers with printed lycra — and there were also couple of quite wearable jumpsuits on the show. I’m not actually a hooded sweater girl, but textured vests made simple sweater outfits definitely interesting. A brilliant idea was to co-operate with Saara Kivimäki for the show — her whimsical shoe creations fitted perfectly to Kaksi-Två’s clean lined, easygoing and playful designs. One thing though… …I did not quite get the sauna theme behind the show — the whole vibe of the collection was more urban street than countryside lounging.
I’m quite ready to add some Kaksi-Två leather and maybe one pair of awesome Saara Kivimäki boots to my wardrobe… …and now it is possible. They will be available from Monday at Helsinki 10 and Beamhill.
Sorry, the images are not too good… …I forgot to ask if I may use the flash so I did not. Unfortunately the lighting was very steep and kind of ended before the runway, so some models end up posing in dark spot…
Squishy leather by Kaksi-Två and Saara Kivimäki. Those ruffled boots were stunning.
How delicious is this?
My favorite styling from the show were these textured mesh pants over leggings looks. I think I could use some of that mesh, especially the dropped crotch pair just calls my name… The makeup was actually pretty rad, but unfortunately the upper image of these is the only one that gives some sort of idea of it.
Great texture here!
Happy designer duo Marjo Kuusinen and Piia Keto presenting their first show.

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.

Looks like a great show!

now i realize i should have made it there instead of coming home to pack for my trip – what’s a couple of hours, really? the leather cape looks stunning and saara’s boots look great.

Yep, it was really great! The best thing was the atmosphere, I guess that the first time is almost special!
Stellagee — it did not take even couple of hours… …so you definitely should have. I was so exited to see Saara’s work IRL!

Upean näköistä, oi jospa oisin saanut olla mukana!
Hankintalistalla on ollut ainakin puolitoista vuotta ellei kauemmin Kaksi-Tvån seepraleggingsit, mutta nämä kuvat nähtyäni haluan vielä kaikkea muutakin kaksitvåihanaa… oijoi.

Mä rakastan KaksiTvåta: niiden printit on hienoja ja laukut ihan loistavia! (Mullahan on se harmonikkaa muistuttava Pill Bag Queue, joka on kyllä ihan paras. Mä käytän sitä kaiken aikaa — ja huvittavaa on se, että kadulla ventovieraatkin pysähtyvät ihailemaan sitä ja kyselemään siitä. Niin voi yksi ainoa asuste lisätä ihmisen fäshön-uskottavuutta n. tuhat prosenttia…

Olis ollut mahtavaa nähdä tuo show!

Tonne olisi pitänyt päästä! Olis aivan mahtavaa käydä “oikeissa” muotinäytöksissä.

Näytös oli kyllä todella kiva — ja mahtavaa nähdä miten laajan kokoelman Kaksi-Två:n naiset olivat saaneet aikaan. Mutta ehkä vieläkin iloisempi olen siitä, että se on pian ihan oikeasti myynnissä! Tuotanto ja jakeluun pääsy ei ole tässä maassa nuorille suunnittelijoille ihan helppoa.
