Basically go through the Hel Looks site and take an amount of shots of spirits specified for each ‘crime’.
1 for every second hand clothing item mentioned.
1 for every item which used to belong to the wearer’s (grand)parent.
1 for each mention of customization. “Self made” doesn’t count.
1 for multiple neon colours. Combining other painfully cheerful and bright colours count as well.
1 for every item explicitly mentioned to been bought from abroad, except..
2 if it was from Japan.
1 for every mention of a decade as a source of inspiration, except..
2 if it was the 80s.
1 for every celebrity NOT associated with design/modeling being credited for inspiration.
1 for every self-consciously outrageous accessory. Ridiculously oversized bags, huge jewelry..dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

that hel-looks page could (almost) be from copenhagen, that secondhand-vintage shit runs rampant here as well among blogger girls.

Honestly speaking, even if none of these looks speak to me, I wouldn't actually call them bad. Granted there is a general disregard for proportion or colours but at least they're not boring. To me they symbolise the crazy Scandinavian street style.Originally posted by PatroklusBetter too adventurous than not enough

They're not really typical of Scandinavian street style though. The author has a penchant for finding people that look like a thrift store exploded on them, not people who dress well by any measure. These looks are to Finnish style what the guy with the weird tie collection is to the Typical Corporate Office™ is - different for the sake of it.Originally posted by PatroklusBetter too adventurous than not enough

I think his main point was that you don't see people like this on the street too much, I would imagine not in Iceland either. I never see people like this in Helsinki, theres plenty of hipsters etc but for the most part they are much more low key than anything on Hel-looks. they must spent a lot of time searching for peculiar people, or they just set up the shoots somehow."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

lowrey managed to get my point across far better than I did. I think Scandinavia (and Denmark) more specifically have much to offer in terms of inspiration, but Hel-looks is by no measure an accurate reflection of it.
Edit (hopefully gotten in before your reply):Originally posted by RosenrotBeats the mundane fashion I get over at this corner.
This ties back into the above sentiment that Hel-looks isn't a representative sample of Helsinki's fashion scene. I'm sure we all have "the grass is greener" moments when we look at HdG's photos, or CPH Cycle Chic, or even an On the Street editorial from Cunningham, but it's something endemic of any tightly curated site about a niche topic. Only the successes are brought to their readers' attention - the 500 items that didn't pan out are never seen by them and so it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that it's somehow all interesting, all the time. The percentage of people dressing "interestingly" in Singapore? is probably just as large, but the effect of seeing everyone else cancels outs the high of seeing oneLast edited by Urthwhyte; 04-10-2012, 07:36 AM.

Yea that's true but all the Finns I know were from the Swedish speaking portion and I always end up lumping in it. It's cold and dark most of the year and expensive as hell to live there, might as well include it for the sake of not derailing this discussion

As to how much they represent a region, I may have made a misjudgement somewhat. My bad.

Granted with the democratisation of fashion more people are dressing up, kudos to them who look good, but many among those who try are dancing to the tune of Alexander Wang or their own rendition of Celine's top to toe floral prints that would have looked better on a couch. Maybe in time things will change for the better.Originally posted by PatroklusBetter too adventurous than not enough
