Ivana
Helsinki 15 Matkalla kotiin – Coming home (Teos) tells the 15 years old story about Paola
Suhonen´s way
from a Finnish fashion student to an international art-fashion-design-filmmaker
personality.
Paola is
a combination of fierce energy and nostalgic feelings, and her memories about
the birth of Ivana Helsinki collections are fun to read. Liisa Jokinen has done a great job in writing
and editing this book, which is a collection of childhood memories, fashion
stories and interviews tied together in an artistic scrapbook style.
The only
sad thing about Ivana Helsinki things is that the old designs are still so appealing but no longer
available. So you have every reason to be sorry it you didn´t buy them then,
because many are now collector´s items.

(Housewife) collection AW 2005.
Paola´s
mother Senja Suhonen was one of the models.

Grace Goddington on the
cover of British Vogue, August 1962.
British
Grace Goddington
became a real media person after the film The September Issue was seen at
cinemas four years ago.
The movie
about making American Vogue´s traditionally heavy September issue was supposed
to be more or less a portrait of Vogue´s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, but the flaming personality of
magazine´s creative director Grace really got the audience´s attention, and
after that the fashion wizard was world-famous.
Grace
Coddington: Elämäni muodin maailmassa (Grace: A Memoir) is a lively illustrated memoir about
her long life in fashion – she started as a teenage model and is now 72 years
old. It does certainly appeal everybody wanting to dive into the tempting
depths and gossips of the international fashion scene from the Fifties to
today.
The
photographs of her modelling days and Vogue fashion articles are nice, but the felicitous
drawings by Grace really add the flair to the story! Here you see Anna Wintour,
Marc Jacobs
and Grace at the launching party of Grace´s book Catwalk Cats.
Grace Coddington:
Elämäni muodin maailmassa

A Memoir) has now been translated
