heikki salonen lookbook aw11.

oh. my. days. this is so beautiful. flawless collection and flawless look book. so much so that i wish there was a way of scanning it in and sending it out in 3d form.. for now my 2d scans will have to do. salonen's signature grungey tailoring continues this season but with a new level of delicacy. the sheer fabrics and layering of textures offer a ready-styled look whereby you can happily dress head to toe in it without looking like a maniac. his website leads to straight to a mail page but still worth a look because the splash page is one of my favourites: www.heikkisalonen.com. to see his profile on the lfw site, go here and to see my other posts on him, go here.

heikki salonen.

i was first introduced to heikki salonen by hatty a while back and he has fast become my favourite designer to show in london. since graduating from the RCA in 2008, he has shown at lfw for the past three seasons, as part of fashion east. unfortunately he's not included in this season's line-up but can't wait to see what he's got on show at the exhibition.. i think he's the freshest thing to come out of london for a long time.. the new 'cool kid on the block'.
