Tapiola/Hagalund, Finland
According to the Finnish National Board of Antiquities, Tapiola was the most valuable example of the 1960s construction ideologies in Finland, as was one of the first post-war ‘new town’ projects in Continental Europe, managed by Heikki von Hertzen, the executive of the Asuntosäätiö (The Housing Foundation) and garden city advocate, Tapiola is a cultural city surrounded by forest lands without the hustle and bustle of vehicles. The development of Tapiola garden city has been expanded with new residential buildings since the completion of Tapiola metro station, while some parts of the city remains the graffiti walls, the sign of the next stage of expansion.
The outfits of the day at garden city Tapiola are ZARA 100% linen white V-neck t-shirt--made in Portugal, I purchase both black and white for the next round of mix and match; and ZARA 100% ecologically grown cotton high-waist jeans, made in Bangladesh, its straight-leg style allowing the comfort to walk but not the swelter to wear in high summer. As for accessories, lately I am especially in love with Valentino leather goods. Founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani, the focus on high-end ready to wear now transforms into more of a Rock ‘n’ Roll coolness by the creation of VLTN abbreviation logo and VSLING monogram. I really adore Valentino’s smooth calfskin VLTN bracelet and mini VSLING black calfskin shoulder sac. The simple design of bracelet shows a touch of concert goer hype, while the sac quipped with an extendable shoulder strap can be worn as a cross-body/shoulder style, both remind me of the vibe of summer music festival.
The other side accessories are Louis Vuitton alphabet V necklace and leopard ribbon sandals, both are my all-time favourits during steaming hot season; CHAO & EERO pearl bubble rings are my daily needs, and CHLOÉ ivory white acetate sunglasses suits almost my 80% of outfits to go. HERMÈS 100% silk twilly in peachy pink, bright yellow and teal green with the totems of horses and saddles, is a friend’s favour from Hermés boutique in Paris. Twilly is both effortless style for the hair band and the easy belt.
The choice of fashion fun photo shooting is the graffiti wall along the construction passageways. The unknown artist on the interpretation of black-and-white Jean Reno starring in Léon, has been my neighbourhood surprising found ever since. The outfits of the day at garden city Tapiola are black & white, on the touch of copper gold and leopard print
TOP TIP 1: Linen matches cotton perfectly. The Choice of materials shall be the top concerns during purchase
TOP TIP 2: Leopard pattern and nude colours match each other very well. Try It on!
