I've been lucky enough to be able to help mina perhonen a bit
a couple of times during the fashion week here.
I've got to say that their creations are even more beautiful in real life.
Ah I'm overjoyed every time I see their delicate
and yet playful prints and embroideries..

Have a look at her designs for fabrics for example.

Concrete art
'it is the expression of the human spirit, intended for the human spirit, 
and it should have the sharpness, the clarity and the perfection that must be 
expected from the human spirit.'
