HEL LOOKS

“I’m wearing a vintage Costume National top paired with my trusty DKNY trousers, and even the Illesteva sunglasses are a secondhand find. Everything I’m wearing is thrifted, except for the sneakers. I find a lot of inspiration in comfort and practicality, even in what could be called a kind of boringness. I don’t want my style to look too polished – there has to be a touch of wabi-sabi.”

Tomas, 22: “I like soft, rounded shapes and thick materials. When it comes to designing clothes, what inspires me right now is softness, soft colors, humanity, people’s flaws and insecurities, and especially understanding them.”

Niilo, 20: “Some grey jeans, white t-shirt, ballerinas, big backpack and a furry cap felt good in the morning. If I have to try to find the words to describe what inspires my style, maybe playfulness, mix of masculinity and femininity, expressing yourself and harmony.”

Priska: “My style is inspired by my friends, my partner, and the goth subculture. When I’m picking out outfits I try to concentrate on a concept or a feeling I want to portray. Todays concept was a rockstar on a walk of shame.”

Matvei: “These days I’m uninspired in regards to fashion. I just wear things that I already own, or things that I can borrow.”

“I’m wearing a Adidas hoodie thrifted in Ivalo that I tied a lilac ribbon around, a skirt from Vinted, glasses from Dallapé Park, Vagabond shoes thrifted in Tampere, and bag thrifted in Rovaniemi. My style is influenced by 60s womenswear and by queer people and the media I consume. I think about movement and the silhouette when I choose an outfit.”

“Everything I‘m wearing is thrifted either in Helsinki or Berlin. The hat and the sunglasses were gifted to me by family. For me the most thrilling thing is finding unexpected combinations of second hand pieces from different decades and parts of the world. That way it never gets boring. It‘s a bit like mushroom hunting!”

“I’m wearing my old trusted pants from a few years ago I had since forgotten. The thrifted, worn-out Camel belt is fixed with a few ropes, on the verge of breaking. I borrowed the t-shirt from a friend who designed the logo. The shoes are also from a friend and the sunnies from my grandma. Colors and hues are important to me and the beauty of their combinations inspires me. Patterns and prints too.”

“I’m wearing a vintage slip skirt, two white tops, a lace scarf, an old camera bag with a golden fish pendant, and grey ballerinas – every piece is second hand. I love the juxtaposition of minimal vintage pieces and playful accessorizing. At the moment I’m most inspired by clean silhouettes, objects found in nature and exploring the use of discarded items.”
