Joonas Saari

Jeg opdagede for lidt siden, da jeg kiggede streetstyle, en for mig ukendt ung finsk designer ved navn Joonas Saari. Joonas Saari har studeret på Central Saint Martins og vandt tilbage i 2008 1. præmien ved Designer's Nest CPH Vision i 2008 i Danmark. Så helt ukendt kan han vel ikke helt være. Jeg har valgt et par af hans billeder ud, som jeg synes er cool! Om inspirationen til kollektionen "Marrow" står der:

"Designer Joonas Saari took inspiration from Andrei Tarkovsky’s films Andrei Rublev and Stalker, and combined it with a myriad of images of Alberto Giacometti’s obscure portraits and pictures of men's old overcoats. The outcome is a strong look that mixes ethnic slouchiness with traditional tailoring for a new, more primal attitude. A novel speciality of the collection are burnt silver needles in various lengths that - aside being a conspicuous detail - also substitute for buttons. Another addition to the collection are men's split leather ankle boots in dark grey, which fuse the qualities of a classic shoe with the feel of a hiking boot – something you might imagine entering another dimension in. This is the essence of Marrow. It is not merely a coat on a hanger, but a total life experience in itself for you to enter. You may be transferred to another time and dimension. Transported beyond this world and back again"
