Mikko (28)
"At the moment chaos inspires me.
Shoes are second hand, pants Marc Jacobs, belt Hugo. Shirt is made by my tailor friend."
Martina (21)
"I love all things beautiful: Audrey Hepburn, London Soho, Portobello Road, big skirts, showy dresses, high heels, red lipstick. I love the way my friends dress up and I love to dress up for the parties like this. My clothes are like adopted children. Fashion is my life style.
This skirt is from Lux, ear rings Chanel."
Mari (28)
"The watering can hand bag is on loan from a friend, dress is second hand, necklace H&M. I like girlish styles, second hand and dresses. I like the style of women actresses in old Hitchcock movies.
I think anything can be in fashion now, anything individual. The next big thing: shoulder paddings."
Henrik (23)
"I found this Luhta jacket one month ago at UFF. I like down-to-earth colours and red t-shirts. My favorite is a brown cardigan that my mother made for my father in the 70's. Female Sonic Youth fans are stylish. My obsession is touching music like Bob Dylan."
and the rest..
Miska (33)
"All kinds of visual things inspire me. I like to mix old and new. I have many different styles. Today my style is more clean-cut because I just met my girlfriend's parents for the first time!"
Heidi (29)
"My style is goth-pin up. I design latex clothes (savage-wear.com). I live and work in Berlin. I think there are more stylish persons and better parties in Helsinki! I came here to play a couple of gigs with my band Two Witches."
Anna (20)
"My style is goth. I think it's beautiful. I've had this style for a couple of years. The kick-off was a boy with pink hair. I shop at p*rn and goth stores. My style idol is Malice Mizer."
Elina (16)
"All my clothes are second hand. I like my coat because it has nice and happy llama figures. It's not as dreary as standard winter coats. It's nice to wear many layers of clothes when it's as cold as today.
I've got loads of fabrics at home. Next I'm going to sew a red shirt with white dots – like a fly agaric."
and the funky old couple:
Marjatta (66) and Heikki (59)
"I've got many clothes that used to belong to my grandmother. At the moment I'm wearing only black because my father passed away recently." (Marjatta)
"I'm a jewellery designer by profession. All our jewellery is designed by me. At the moment my favorite colour is black but I have the courage to wear bright colours as well. Art is the most important thing in life. It is the elixir of life!" (Heikki)

New from hel-looks. I'm really liking these !

"The hair accessory and dress are self made. I like the film star glamour of the past decades, especially 20's.
I like Jenny Wilson's style. She dresses up in a gorgeous and stylish way."
Maija (21)
"I like to mix 60's, punk, my mother's old clothes and androgynous styles. The boots, bag and gloves are second hand, shirt H&M and jeans Miss Sixty. The best clothes you can find at the attics. My favorite is a marten fur collar that my aunt gave me. Its other eye is missing and that makes the collar extra touching."

Nah, I'm from Finland and yes, you might see a few guys who dress this way (gothic and japanese influences seem to be the favourite look among many younger people) but of course most people don't dress this way at all. Don't think Helsinki will ever compete with, say, Camden (London) when it comes to the popularity of these looks.
more from finland!
Myriel (24)
"T-shirt is from my boyfriend, skirt is 90's Kookai, earrings H&M, shoes I can't remember. I chose these clothes because of hang-over! Most of my things I find at H&M. If I had lot of money I would buy Missoni. I like Kate Moss' style. She could wear any crap and still look great. I also like Lou Doillon."
Laufey (23)
"I like second hand because I try to look a bit different. This fur is my favorite. I like it because it's so warm.
I like Nina Persson from The Cardigans, she's just cool. Björk is stylish as well. And the VV from The Kills – nobody is like her."
Meri (26)
"The jacket used to belong to my mother. Tracksuit trousers are from Oslo. I like their colour. I didn't like violet before, but past two years it has been my favorite. I like other harlequin colours, too: pink, pale green, pale blue, grey and black."
Tinka (29)
"I had my hat made at the millinery downstairs. The jacket is a long men's winter coat that I shortened myself. The skirt is an ideal winter skirt, long and warm. My favorite colour is pale violet.
All kinds of images are my obsession. I was just studying old Marimekko prints. I liked the print "Afrikan kuningatar" (Queen of Africa) by Oiva Toikka most."

"I like to mix things that actually don't match together. I try to avoid brands. You can see the most stylish persons at La Perse and *** You clubs. My obsession is music, lately new wave."
Antti (22)
"Dark and tight clothes look good. Last time I bought a sleeveless t-shirt. Next I'm going to buy a new pair of shoes and jeans – tighter than these. If I had money, I would have a clothes designer and a dressmaker of my own."
these are kind of cute..
Jussi (30)
"My style is slow. If I find something nice, I wear it for a long time. All my clothes are pretty old. I like bright coloured clothes.
Gipsy and klezmer music and culture inspire me, for example Club Balkan Beats in Berlin. Old men are my style idols."
Tuomas (15)
"I just bought this cap from Tetuan. The jacket I found at a market at the countryside. It's hard to find nice clothes.
My obsessions are skating and cafes. I like The Smiths, Bravery, Ramones and Mötorhead."
funky girls
Ansku (18)
"I change my style frequently. I could not wear the same clothes two days in a row. I like small labels. Next big thing: Helsinki 10 store at Eerikinkatu."
Jacket second hand, vest Diesel, dress Religion, necklace Juicy Future, jeans Cheap Monday, shoes Converse.

Yeah, I've seen him in town. He always semms very smug. And the whole fad with 'tight jeans' on guys is really getting on my nerves.
