The 2016 Helsinki Fashion Week was held at Suomenlinna. The beautiful sea fortress with a rich history is located a short ferry ride away from the Helsinki Market Square. The fortress with it’s old stone buildings and the open sea is a great place for a fashion event. The fashion shows were in an old airplane hall with worn walls and a wood floor that create an unique atmosphere.
First on Saturday was LAKE by Ukrainian designers Natalia Kamenska and Olesya Kononova. LAKE’s first collection was launched in 2008 and a line of shoes a couple of years later. LAKE has received prizes for women’s clothing and accessories in Ukraine.
Shiny and beautiful fabrics, distinct lines and simple yet wonderful details established an interesting and attractive collection. The rugged airplane hall was a perfect setting to present the garments and make them stand out. My favourite detail was the unfinished hems that gave a nice balance for the otherwise clean repertoire.
Overall the show was like a piece of a dream world. It had all of the things that fashion should be. Dreams, vision, ideas, daring and excitement.
Helsinki Fashion Week järjestetään satumaisen kauniissa ja kulttuurillisesti rikkaassa Suomenlinnassa, joka sijaitsee lauttamatkan päässä Helsingin Kauppatorilta. Linnoitus vanhoine kivisine rakennuksineen ja raikkaana avautuva meri luovat loistavat puitteet muotitapahtumalle. Näytökset järjestetään vanhassa lentokonehallissa, jonka aikaa nähnyt puinen lattia ja ikääntyneet seinärappaukset luovat tunnelmaa, jota ei pysty jäljittelemään.
Lauantaina ensimmäisenä vuorossa oli ukrainalaisten suunnittelijoiden Natalia Kamenskan ja Olesya Kononovan LAKE. LAKE lanseerasi ensimmäisen mallistonsa vuonna 2008 ja ensimmäinen kenkämallisto puolestaan näki päivänvalon paria vuotta myöhemmin. LAKE on saanut runsaasti tunnustusta kotimaassaan Ukrainassa naistenvaatteistaan sekä asusteistaan.
Kauniin kiiltävät kankaat, selkeät linjat ja yksinkertaisen näyttävät yksityiskohdat loivat kiinnostavan ja puoleensavetävän malliston. Lentokonehallin karun kauniit puitteet antoivat vaatteille täydellisen näyttämön, joka nosti vaatteet esiin niiden ansaitsemalla tavalla. Yksityiskohdista oma suosikkini oli viimeistelemättömät helmat, jotka antoivat vastapainoa siistille ja huolitellulle kokonaisuudelle.
Näytös oli kokonaisuudessaan kuin palanen unimaailmaa. Se tarjosi sitä, mitä muoti parhaimmillaan on. Unelmia, näkemystä, ideoita, uskallusta ja innostusta.
