I had never thought about visiting Helsinki, Finland until I saw this photo from Helsinki street fashion website Hel Looks. While I’m not sure I would actually want to know this guy, I am definitely intrigued by the culture that created him. (via Hipster Runoff)
See a few more of my favorite Helsinki looks after the jump.
The guy in the picture is Antti Asplund, a designer.
As a finnish person, I must say that HELlooks doesn’t give an objective view how do finnish people dress up.
Saw that on a russion blog the other day. I thought of it as Finland’s own version of Japan’s Harajuku stlye.
conterculture to a formerly very conservative soiciety. finland is fabulous but OMG the language is a mess! its kinda why some scandinavians can not drink without getting totally shitfaced and making asses of themselves.
finland has actually been design/fashion forward for quite some time. just quietly so.
aww these make me prouder to be 12% Finnish or some shiz as all that. anyways, errybody looks fab 🙂
