Wow PucciMama!
That is a great picture...
exactly how I would like to dress - sexy and tough, so rough and tumble

 

[Arug]

I managed to travel all over Scandinavia (including Finland) for 2 months and I never saw people looking like the ones on these pages .

I know what you mean.. I live in Helsinki, but I guess I always miss those people who have a great style.. I'm so living in a wrong part of this city...

Simo (23) and Wili (22)
Simo: "I like sharp-pointed shoes and tight jeans. Othes clothes don't feel right."
Wili: "I like tight jeans with baggier tops. The tighter the jeans the warmer they are. My favorite brand is Fornarina."

Salla (22)
"My mother bought this angora hat from Vyborg. The bag is from a second hand market in Urjala, jacket H&M, the trousers actually belong to my mother. My style is playful. My favorite clothes are second hand shirts with Kinder toys! I study fashion design myself. I would like to make unique pieces, kind of ragged luxury."

Aww...I love that look!

i hate the fact that glamrock style has become so popular style in Finland. Teenagers are dressing up like Hanoi Rocks and Mötley Crüe etc. Some do it well, but most of the time it is just irritating and frustrating. 80's are back in Finland

Is that a guy or a girl in the picture pucci_mama posted? I'm guessing a guy, but I'm not sure..

Mariia
"I like to dress up comfortably but individually. I bought my dress from H&M for a party; it's so easy to shop at H&M. Jeans are Miss Sixty, boots from Zara and handbag from Stockmann. One of my favorite brands is Dsquared."

Emmi (19) and Lauri (19)
Emmi: "The secret of my style is my grandmother's wardrobe. It's not worth spending money on new clothes. My style idols are Andy Warhol and David Bowie."
Lauri: "I like black and tight clothes. Normally my style is simpler than tonight."
"We are going to be university drop-outs! We'll found a dirt expensive boutique selling lousy clothes!"

Karita (19)
"Pink is the secret of my style. I just bought these shoes, handbag and dress from London. In Helsinki my favorite shops are Myymälä2 and Limbo. In London people dress up more boldly than in Helsinki, you can see more pumps for example."

Anna (25)
"I like miscellaneous things. Today I wanted to be romantic and silly, the other day I like black and leather. Mass individualism is in fashion: exclusive, unique things and labels which all however have the same looks."
Earrings from Hundpark, brooch by Sarah Arnett, Zukale&Huoviala stockings designed by Anna herself

"Dressing up is entertainment for me, I never take it too seriously even if I can spend hours thinking about clothes. It is a hobby and lifestyle that I couldn't live without. As long as my shoes are fun and my hair is curled life is perfect. With accessories its easy to get 'more is more' look. Tonight I am wearing Chanel earrings, Tatty Devine necklace and my favourite furry dice."

I swear I saw the exact imitation of this guy yesterday, exact same hair and body type..and that jacket!! Only the guy I saw had a coat that was a bit longer, maybe 10 cm, but still same leopard type print and all. And he wasn't wearing jeans, but black tights (only ). Apart from that, he was the exact same!! scarY!

If you don't live in Helsinki, I'm surprised.
But you can really see that kind of boys in the streets of Helsinki non-stop. They're everywhere
