Ivana Helsinki is an independent fashion, art & cinema brand, delicately mending
Slavic rough melancholy and pure Scandinavian moods. The balancing between white
arctic summer nights and endless winter sadness. Eerie hovering isolation and
intense starkness. Ivana Helsinki collections are like small ballads with
charming, soulful and savvy tones.
Paola
Ivana Suhonen is a Helsinki born designer, artist and filmmaker. As the artist
behind the collection, Suhonen starts from her dark, naïve mind-landscapes,
northern legends and western romantics, creating the prints, graphics and films
to supplement her collections. The mix of past and present has infused her style
with yester years’ flavorful sophistication along with a shot of contemporary
charm.
A brand
thirteen years in the making, the family-operated Ivana Helsinki atelier is
based in downtown Helsinki where the collection is also produced. For Fall
2013, Ivana Helsinki released a capsule collection with UNIQLO selling in over
1,200 stores worldwide.
