Pohjanheimo

This year's Riga Fashion Week is mostly memorable due to the cheap living, spent in total 7.50 Latvian Lats and secondly I met Ülle Suurhans-Pohjanheimo, who most people know as just Pohjanheimo. She presented her collection on Saturday night and sure she was loved, as the only foreign designer at this fall's fashion week. Just few days before my trip to Riga I happened to see a clip on TV about three candidates for this year's best Estonian Designer. She was one of them, but didn't win this time. In my opinion she was the best, as I like her true Nordic style. The way she expresses herself shows that she knows what she wants and acts upon it. It was inspiring.

Just to educate more about Ülle, check out the information from Pohjanheimo web site:
