MTWTFSS Collection

Weekday celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and is presenting a new line called MTWTFSS Collection with emphasis on quality and sharp, ageless design. It contains both basic wear and classic, tailored garments in materials such as cashmere, silk, wool and fine cotton. I checked out the collection last week and being a little over-obsessive about materials myself, I got my eye on few pieces already! Available Feb 2012!

Comme des Garçons @ Artek

Last night I attended the opening of the Comme des Garçons pocket store at Artek Helsinki. Titled as ‘The Two Towers’ it is an installation of merchandise literally in a form of two towers. Selection includes beautiful wallets, ‘Shirt Forever’ button down shirts, perfumes, t-shirts etc. Event also included the launch of the new CDG perfume and meet&greet with the husband of designer Rei Kawakubo and CEO of the company, Adrian Joffe. Great night and more importantly great to have this concept in Helsinki!

Vogue, Kate Moss & David Bowie

Cover of the newest issue of Vogue Paris with Kate Moss as Ziggy Stardust reminded me of another Vogue cover from my own mag archives in my bookshelf. Starring Moss in the style of Bowie's Aladdin Sane, it was one of those few magazines that I just couldn’t bear to leave behind when moving from London to Helsinki.

Coming Up from H&M...

Last Thursday I visited the H&M showroom to view the upcoming spring/summer 12 collection. Firstly I was greeted with a lot of colour: orange, fluoro apple green, blues and yellow, to name a few. But when looking further there were also lots of whites and other neutral colours to be mixed with the brights! Lovely shoes: creepers in white, high-tops and wooden clogs with a slight Japanese touch. For men: brogues with a contrast colour sole. The fabulous food was prepared by Pipsa Hurmerinta. Another thing worth mentioning about H&M is that they seldom give press gifts but instead donate to charity, this time to WaterAid!

COS, My Dear

Those of you who are as old as I am, will remember those dreary days when there was nothing in Finland and even to go to H&M you had to travel to Sweden. For a moment there, a few weeks ago, I almost got a ‘déjà vu’ when I made a trip to Stockholm just because I wanted to visit COS
When the first ever COS store opened in London in 2007, there was this unconfirmed rumour going around in the fashion circuit, that the certain Ms. Jil Sander was somehow involved in the design process. True or (probably) not, their designs certainly echo the same minimalism and understated elegance. I can also see a lot of similarity with another fashion brand (&my old workplace) – Marni. Anyhow, having been one of my favourite shops while living in London, I was joyous when they recently opened a web store! As I was browsing through the selection, my friend hinted me about these 10€ cruises to Stockholm…The postal charge would have been 6€, so I figured, I might as well visit the actual shop! Photos from that trip can be seen in here, but now let's have a look at these beautiful pictures from the COS current fall campaign!
