BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS



Sophie and her classmate have been working long hours to finish their second year collection for the annual TAIK student fashion show, Näytös 2012, held tonight in Kattilahalli, an old industrial venue in Helsinki. This is the school that produced the latest Hyeres winners and tonight's show is attended by many international editors, so it's going to be super exciting fashion times with a capital F. Tune in for blood, sweat and tears in form of garments made by one of the most talented fashion students in Europe. For the first time, the show is also streamed live today at 7pm, behind this Yle Areena link. I am looking forward to see the final pieces from these two future talents!

The Finns are in for a special treat tonight, since not only you can stream the student show live, you can watch a special alumni show presenting the AW2012 collections from Ensaemble, Sasu Kauppi, R/H and Saara Lepokorpi today at 8pm from Yle Teema. Remember to also check out the making-of documentaries when they re-run at 7pm before the show or at Yle Areena.

Good times!

And I am wearing a screaming red Ferrari-print college...

Awesome clothes! Makes me proud that TAIK fashion students' styles are so personal. I hope that that is the direction fashion is going take in the future - to be less about trends, and more about styles. Fashion designers should be for fashion what auteurs are for cinema.
