Tiina Laakkonen - Stylist

[cesarcmma]

Bio:

In her first year at L'Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, Tiina Laakkonen -who styled the actress Ziyi Zhang for the cover -- met Karl Lagerfeld, who offered her an internship at Chanel that lasted three years. ''My years at Chanel were like a lifetime of fashion school,'' she says, describing Lagerfeld as ''the most cultured, the most intelligent, the funniest, the wittiest -- he's sort of a superhuman.'' After Chanel, Laakkonen did a brief stint at Lanvin before working at British Vogue. ''My first shoot for British Vogue was my first shoot I ever styled,'' she says. ''I figured that it wouldn't be that difficult. All you needed was an opinion, a point of view and some taste. I just kind of learned as I went.'' Laakkonen, who has styled many of the T covers with the photographer Raymond Meier, says: ''We have this kind of insane relationship about our work now. It's like an old couple.'' In styling Zhang, who listened to Dido through the shoot (''I think it was her way of learning English''), Laakkonen was surprised by the actress's natural modeling skills. ''She knew how to move, how to pose, how to be beautiful.''

Finally a thread on this woman!, seriously, I've been waiting years for this, and was always put off by the lack of quality images of her work online, good job, Cesar!. She was featured in an article on avant-garde clothing in US Vogue September 2006.. I have it somewhere, she's wearing this gorgeous CDG coat/dress..
I also think I had the chance of catching a glimpse of her in NYC last year, I'm not really sure it was her, partly because I don't think I'm that lucky, but her indifference to snow was certainly something out of a Finnish tale.

Thank you, Deeth
I didn't know she had styled Dark Allure, her work is such a contrast to Hans' photography but they make a surprisingly good pairing.. they balance each other I guess.
Her stories for Vogue China (next to NYT) are my favorites..

Dark Allure is gorgeous!
