Heikki Salonen - Finnish designer making his mark on The London Fashion Scene

SOCKS COMBINED WITH SANDALS, NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A TRUE FINN, AND I LIKE IT.

Heikkii Salonen is in his third Fashion East season, and this time around he looked to American Indians - and skateboarders. The combination may seem unusual but it worked. The colours were sun bleached and well-worn, all biscuits, greys and white, and the pieces had the appearance of much-loved favourites. And the pieces were all teamed with holey, crocheted socks and Birkenstocks.

Heikki’s style always leans towards the boyish and this was no exception, from the hooded shirts and drape fronted jackets to the frayed shorts and slouchy printed T-shirts. But there was a full, printed skirt and a grey shirt with a ruffled chiffon hem that ticked the feminine boxes beautifully.

  1. I like that. The pop of color comes from the socks! Thats something I might try.
