Q&A in Helsinki, Finland
Let’s talk about Comme des Garçons sac!
I have been paying attention to the
collection by Rei Kawakubo (川久保玲) for ages, especially for her polka
dots design totem. Born in October 1942, Kawakubo specializes
in anti-fashion, austere, and occasionally deconstructed garments. Opening her
first store in 1973, She is greatly involved in graphic pattern and shop
interiors, believing that all these things are inextricably linked. This width
22cm and height 16cm playful pouch with embossed polka-dots, and is made from
black glossed cow leather, accompanied minimally detailed with gold designer COMMEdes GARÇONS lettering. I purchase ‘like a boy’ with full price (139 EUR, still
one euro cheaper than buying at net-a-porter!) at Beam boutique in Helsinki. Leena
the shop owner is super friendly and warm, so it’s always lovely to step in and
find some good surprises.
Do you swap your daily essentials season by
season?
That’s quite true and essential! In Finland
the climate swiftly changes, so does my skin condition. I would put more shea
butter hand cream in wintertime, but desire the sweeter feel in spring; or I
like to wear musky Eau de parfum in the evening but prefer flowery sense during
the sunny days. It is really fun to have new items to carry on, such as this
time I play black and pink hues in my new Comme des garcons pochette, and
seriously, it surely helps the good mood of a day.
✔Chanel Chance Eau Vive 2ml trial tube is my 2016 spring on-the-go
fragrance. By perfumer Oliver
Polge, who blends top notes of blood grapefruit, red orange, providing citrus
to middle scent of elegant jasmine and white musk. Base notes of the
composition with vetiver, cedar and iris, leaving a fresh, elegant and subtle
trail for daily use.
✔Japanese Rohto Lycée eye drop is my eye-dryness immediate remedy. With
vitamin formula, no doubt a great souvenir from Osaka!
✔Avène Soothing Hydrating serum 5ml is one the freebies from purchasing
Avène Soothing Moisture Mask set. I especially love to collect the travel size
items, not just only for a good start to know the product, but also a feel of
journey on the road!
✔Marc by Marc Jacobs flower earrings is my proud purchase in Taipei
101. Since Marc Jacobs has announced the discontinuation of his second line in
2015, with 60% of jewelry is a perfect bargain for my 4th pair to the collection.
✔A lunch break gift during the Brussels training, organic, black and
fair trade, Belgian Oxfam 60% cocoa chocolate chip is a quick energy treat.
✔Cherry Blossom series is one of my favourite L’Occitane collection;
its natural ingredients without using parabens, the hand cream contains shea
butter to nourish my fingertips. Easy apply easy go.
✔Made in Korea O-check Design Graphics notebook is my new trial. I
like to jot down my instant inspiration or take a quick memo at 10.5 x 14.5
notebook since it’s not too big to handle, also easily to organize. Bought at
Paper Shop in Helsinki, the red checked design is simple yet lovely.
