Name: Reta Raven

Slogan: If you want to be loved Be lovable

Design philosophy:
I change my style as often as my hairstyle changes. Same thing happens when I design. I try not to follow same pattern and I’m always trying to design something new, something exiting.

My collection was inspired by superheroes. But when I got deeper in to that world I noticed it’s all about divided personalities. So I decided to show what would my fantasy alter ego shoes look like. I use very classic court shoe style mixing with a high platform and edgy high heel. Accessories comes with surprises.

Today's thoughts: I'm waiting the last minute panic.

Thoughts about future: I can’t wait to get to the Italy ;)

About the fashion show : The laws of fashion are about to break…. Buckle up and DON’T
COME ALONE

Name: Anna Koljander

Slogan: Be wisely bonkers.

I keep my designs simple, but always with a
little twist or a detail that makes the whole piece special.
I have studied footwear now for almost six years.
A good job for someone who chose to study
shoemaking by accident! My inspiration comes
from my life: it's simple and safe and almost
always fun and full of laughter! I am surrounded
by people who make me be me.

My design philosophy:
I got the inspiration for my collection
from two things: the paintings of
Helene Scherfbeck and knitwear. You won't
see any paintings in my shoes though, the inspiration is
about the delicate feelings that hide behind the pictures.
Knitting has been my passion since I was a little girl.
I have used knitted pieces in my shoes before, but for
this collection I wanted to play with the proportions a
little and see what could be done.

Thoughts about today:
The shoes are almost done! Some of the accessories are
done aswell. I seem to come up with a new idea for something
great every day, who knows what will still emerge from the
depths of my mind!

Thoughts about the future:
To be perfectly honest I can't wait to see my products
on the catwalk. That means this huge project is over
and summer holidays will start!

To readers:
I'll see you in just a few weeks!

Name: Matti Koivula

Slogan: One should never stop daydreaming.

Design philosophy: There are plenty of things already in this world but why so much of it looks the same? I want the world around to be pretty to look at. With my design I want to create surprises, give excitement and pleasure of discovering aesthetics in the every day life.

Today’s thoughts: I've been a bit nervous about the d-day as it's comeing closer, but in general I'm feeling good and thinking, I'll be ready to present my work. The sun starts to be warmer and brighter. That gives me power.
Thoughts about the future: I don't know about the future but I hope it'll be good for me. I don't need too much from the future. I just wish to do what I want and what I know best.

To readers: Make at least one regular day in week for your "Look Good, Feel Good"-day. Enjoy your coffee, take some extra time for choosing your shoes and clothes, look twice in the mirror. I'm sure you'll enjoy and it only takes some 15 minutes more of your time!

See you on the fifth of May!

Designer Profile

Name: Suvi Leinonen

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!
