Designer of the Month in Design Forum Shop
In October presented are fashion designers Päivi and Jaana Haaksiluoto.
The names behind the Haaksiluoto fashion brand are Päivi (b. 1973) and Jaana (b. 1975) Haaksiluoto, a fashion designer and an artist whose imaginative cuts and style emanating Scandinavian modernism have already been noted. The cooperation between the two sisters runs smoothly: they both know what the other can do best and it's as easy to give as to receive criticism.
We design clothes for women in all ages, say the sisters. Especially for those who move about and travel a lot, who need comfortable clothing for travelling and presentable outfits for work or a special occasion. And if these qualities are combined in one garment, even better - it is true everyday glamour and relaxed evening wear.
The idea of the Haaksiluoto fashion lies in skilful pattern cutting and finished details. Many pieces show innovativeness, like the bolero that both warms if needed and makes an ordinary outfit more festive for the evening. The fringed "necklace" replaces a scarf or a piece of jewellery, covering and attracting attention at the same time.
