Finnish clothing

[blackpalms]

the only finnish brands i've seen here in paris are jasmin santanen at l'eclaileur and laitinen at maria luisa. i've heard that jasmin used to work for hermes and ysl before. check out www.jasminsantanen.com. to me the clothes look a lot like vanessa bruno / marc. not my style, but the quality seems ok.

ah i see what you mean..
at the Ikea website, there are a lot of people whose names end with "sson" which is Swedish, I think. a few --ssons at Marimekko too

But can you explain to me, what's the "Swedish design aesthetic"? Or Finnish design aesthetic...
Yes my teacher was talking about textiles in general in Scandinavia, not really focusing on just Marimekko

I think the Scandinavian aestethics are commonly: simple cuts, simple colors, cute small details, print fabrics, natural materials.

yeah i could definately see those clothes on more mature people, maybe 30 somethings..

Jasmin Santanen has teached/teaches in Parsons. Another Finnish designer called Teemu Muurimäki just got a place at Dolce & Gabbana. Marimekko and H&M are collaborating.

You can view Laitinen's new collection here: http://www.agenturv.de/page/laitinen/springsummer-08.html

Even the model showing Jasmin Santanen's designs looks really displeased with what she's been forced to wear

It's not clothing, only industrial design.. but they create bags
