If you thought that being a fashion designer is like dancing on roses, you were right. Only that more often it is not dancing on rose petals but on thorns.
Anyway, there are those rose petal moments, too, and for Tiia Vanhatapio one them was last Friday. It was the opening night of her shiny new store in the excellent location at the heart of Helsinki.
Tiia´s wonderful fashion sense reminds me of the sweet and dramatic moments of life. Here you can buy her seductive dresses for the moments you´ll remember forever and her lovely-funny baby clothes. And in the cellar is Kuilu Galleria for art exhibitions, at the moment you can see there the works by Rosa Liksom.
In the opening night Tiia was wearing Skin Sleeve Dress of her AW 11/12 collection and her man Eero Leppänen dark shades to hide his weary eyes. Having the shop ready for the opening night did not leave too many hours for the sleep...
Tiia Vanhatapio Store is in the newly renovated Kiseleff house, Unioninkatu 27 B, 00100 Helsinki. Open Monday-Friday 11-19, Saturday 11-17.
