Slogan: If at first you don't succeed you won’t be thrown in a garbage bin.

As a designer I feel like a little princess who still wants to become a spaceman. I’m very proud that someone could even call me a gee and I’m currently trying to reinforce that thought by going to geeky places and doing geeky stuff.

Design philosophy: I want to design something amazing and I’m not settled untill people who see my clothes just stare them with eyes wide open. I’m interested in historical gowns as well as science fiction and fantasy. For me fashion is not an every-day thing, it’s something more than that. What comes to my collection, I’m trying to mix lights and fabrics together to create something really futuristic mixed with fantasy elements.

Today’s thoughts: I’m very busy at the moment with everything. I’m also very excited.

Thoughts about the future: I hope out fashion show will be remember for a long time or better, it would become something next to a cult.

To readers: I wish you all read this blog and I also wish you’d come to the show. I’ll see you there.

Designer Profile

Name: Soile Vuorimäki

I've followed my driving teacher's advice in life since I turned 18 'cause he always used to say to me: "what's the hurry in this ready world?".

My Top 3 inspiration sources:
1. youth
2. pretty boys
3. enjoying life

Design philosophy: I want my collection to be something that helps me to keep my mind in the best things in life, those which mostly for me happens in the summer. While it's freaking cold, dark and easily depressing here in the north, who cares! We can still put our shades on and color our walls to yellow.

Also one of the main things I want to show is that making clothes doesn't have to be hard and nasty. All you need is an idea, a doll and some fabric.

See you pretty soon in the show, it's gonna be grreat!

Name: Miila Ljud

Slogan: May the Finnish Footwear Industry rise again!

I want to design normal shoes to normal people to be used in normal situations in normal life. Not too brassy, not too boring.

Design philosophy:
For this collection I was inspired by Finnish nature. Last summer I saw a landscape of great spruces with fireweed in front of them. It is easy to ignore that kind of view because in Finland that time of year, it´s all over. I couldn´t help thinking, how to take some of it into my collection. I began to explore it more and more and found wonderful colors, shapes and textures from the forests and nature.
I have a tendency to see loveliness and miraculousness in little things and things that others could find really modest. I think that´s a rather childish thing in me. That´s why I wanted to bring some naivism to the collection as well.

Today's thoughts: Now I´m a third year student in HAMK Wetterhoff and if everything goes the way I have planned, I graduate in spring 2011.

Thoughts about the future: Spring is coming and it is my new favorite season. Everything starts to move and shine, grow and blossom!

To readers: Finland used to be a cutting edge country of shoes, and I want it back. Demand your shop to order better-looking Finnish shoes from the factories.
