Fashion Fun Alberga! Tsumori Chisato Stays Together with Samuji Finland

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.
