Ivana Helsinki

I was recently contacted about fashion/art brand, Ivana Helsinki. I saw some of the most stunning dresses i have seen all season. The brand represents a completely new Northern Style called 'Fennolk'.
Paola Ivana Suhonen is the designer behind the fashion pieces, starting from her dark naive mind-landscapes, northen legends and sagas, doing prints, graphics, shortmovies and everything involved with the visuals.
She runs the family-owned company with her older sister Pirijo. The whole production philosophy is based on ethical and ecological choices and there are a lot of handmade details and traditional Finnish handcraft methods are featured.
Here are some photos of the stunning pieces in their latest fashion collection.

The collection focuses on folklore and flirty cotton dresses, trousers and capes and Lapland hand-knitted oversized cardigans and dresses.Autumnal colours and graphics are drawn from dark northern legends and western romantics – whilst more whimsical prints show a slightly more sinister recurring ‘scorpion theme’ on closer inspection.
