Espoo, Finland
The sun kisses, the wind blows, but the
fashion fun never stops! There is no need to wear high-tech underwear to
prevent the freezing anymore in March, still, a little touch of reddish pink or
intense fuchsia would be fun to lighten up the early spring ready-to-wear.
This 100% cotton, Made in Japan Tsumori
Chisato shirt has been with me a decade (purchased in Kaohsiung, 2006). Born in 1954, Japanese designer
Tsumori Chisato began her work with Issey Miyake in 1977. She
launched the brand in 1990 under her name, Tsumori Chisato’s
signature style was soon celebrated with her innovative and luxurious textiles,
intricate beading, embroidery, appliqués and prints of her own design.
Described by fashion critics, that ‘her aesthetic focuses on prints
and has a healthy dose of manga/bohemian cuteness’, She took her work to Paris
in 2003 as the destination on Rue Barbette in 1999, for her first boutique outside
Asia.
Graceful, elegant and fun at the same time, my Tsumori
Chisato cotton shirt matches with poppy red and snow white outfit well, in
order to prevent the occasional moment in March, I layer up Samuji AW15 V-neck sweater.
Purchasing with 50% winter sale in January, this yarn in Peru, made in Italy
fluffy wear is composed with 91% angora, 7% wool and 2% polyester, immediately
becomes my winter favorite.
Samuji is a creative studio and design house based in
Helsinki, Finland. The first Samuji womenswear collection was launched in
spring 2011, and home deco line was introduced in fall 2014. As most fine
Finnish brand does, Samuji’s target is to produce timeless and sustainable
design that serves a purpose yet carries a story.
Samuji womenswear collection presents a complete wardrobe
for femme, bringing together two separate lines: Samuji Classic and Samuji
Seasonal. Samuji Classic carries permanent, timeless clothes and accessories,
while Samuji Seasonal is a more bohemian and colorful collection renewed
seasonally. When I decide to make Japanese meet Finnish, the major concern
is the quality, the material and the color tone. Since my upper wear is white
mixed with pinky hues, my winter ankle boots from Mango, a pair of grey jeans from Gina Tricot, a set of vintage golden
pinkish Vivienne Westwood earrings, a Unisex Vivienne Westwood scarf and a
pair of light noir leopard Prada sunglasses would finish my look of the day.
Finally I decide to complete the whole silhouette with Comme des Garçons
leather pochette; the darker shade does no harm to the whole trend, because polka dots are
always very welcome in sunny days.
