Before you - our permanent heading "Wardrobe". For her, we take pictures of our favorite things beautifully, distinctively or strangely dressed people and ask them to tell stories that are connected with these things.

In the new material - Ossi Lehtonen, manager of the Finnish concept store Helsinki10 and a great lover of Belgian minimalism.

Music, art, subcultures I have always been a powerful source of inspiration for me, they also influence what clothes I like and how I wear them.

I do not like it when things look like they just bought, but at the same time worn out holes do not attract me either - ideally, it should be something in between.

Speaking of my favorite designers and brands, I am terribly predictable. I like most of the Belgians, a few Japanese, I like old collections. Maison martin margiela and Helmut lang. I'm generally a little obsessed with clothes from the nineties and the beginning of the two thousandths. I had a huge list of things from that era that I would be happy to purchase, and, fortunately, some of them have already appeared in my wardrobe.

As I used to focus on clothes, I wear barely noticeable shoes. Belgian Anne Demellmeister makes shoes of excellent quality and classic, but modern design. The prices for it are appropriate, so in my wardrobe there are only a few required pairs: perfect boots, snow-white boots, army boots and oxfords.

The beginning of the XXI century was the time of the work of many talented designers, but among them was one who just drove me crazy - Helmut Lang with his minimalist shows and amazing casting. Along with supermodels like Christy Turlington and Christine Owen, ordinary people walked along the runway like the inspiring Lang photographer Elfi Semotan.

Trousers Ktz I bought in the stunning Wunder store in Helsinki - unfortunately, it has already been closed. I worked there for about a year and did things Marjan Pejoski, Ktz, Gaspard yurkievich, Bless and Daniel Palillo.

The most "loud" shoes in my collection - Ann demeulemeester with triple lacing. I found them a long time ago in an online store and I remember that they were worth crazy money - about 1,500 euros. After many years I found them on the website of the outlet labaratorio35.it. Even with a discount, they were expensive, but I had to buy them.

Suit and shirt Laitinen trousers Silent by Damir Doma,boots Ann demeulemeester

I bought a suit with printed sleeves on a sample sale brand Laitinen in Helsinki.

I love him for cutting, creating strange proportions. In fact, he is a little big for me, but I even like his imperfect fit - it reminds me of Japanese style. Prints, by the way, are also "very Asian".

Bomber Helmut lang T-shirt with a group of pants Comme des Garcons, boots Ann demeulemeester

Being a military-style fan, I bought Helmut Lang's classics — bombers, special bombers. They are very warm and soft, classic design with catchy details like rubber bondages. The next thing I want to find is aviator knee pads.

Trousers -Comme des garcons. I bought them on eBay for a great price - $ 90.

Decoration: Shoulders Ann Demeulemeester suspension Natalia brilli

For some time I stopped wearing a lot of jewelry, but before that I was very fond of the Belgian designer. Natalia brillisthat makes necklaces and calf leather bracelets.

Shoulder pads Ann demeulmeester well dilute the boring costumes.

Jewelery: leather watches Natalia Brilli, knitted skeleton Marjan Pejoski, glasses Jean-Paul Gaultier

I bought a skeleton brooch in the Kokon To Zai store when I was in London for the first time. The boutique turned out to be great, and I bought a lot of early things by Mariana Pezhoski.

Glasses Jean-Paul Gaultier From the super-famous tattoo collection, I found them in an online store.

Turtleneck Raf simons pants and belt Laitinen creepers Yohji Yamamoto, decoration DRKSHDW by Rick Owens

With that costume from the Antwerp store, I bought a lot of vintage. Raf simons. Turtleneck was among them.

Wool pants Laitinen with notches under the belt and bag DRKSHDW I received a gift from my boss from Helsinki10.

Boots Yohji yamamoto I bought from a friend for 50 euros. Great price, right?

Perfume (left to right): Comme des Garcons, YSL, Dior Homme

I usually use niche perfumes, but lately I wear anything, but not this classic. The only exception is fragrance. Comme des Garcons WonderwoodI fell in love with a year ago when he was released. That week I bought three identical bottles, heh.

Silver Trench Maison martin margiela bought in a Parisian vintage shop on Rue du Roi de Sicile.

Shirt and boots Raf simons I received a gift from my friend.

Trousers from collaboration H & M x Maison Martin Margiela I was presented at their presentation in Helsinki.

Shirt, pullover and shorts Laitinen boots Ann demeulemeester

Burgundy onions look like plastic, but the top is actually wool, and the shirt and shorts are cotton.

The top is very warm for the winter and convenient for going to the club: if someone suddenly spills wine on it, I can just wet it with a sponge.

I bought shoes in the store where I work. They are, frankly, from the women's collection. The male size grid was so big that even the 39th was great for me.

Coat, shorts and shirt Laitinen backpack Raf simons boots Ann demeulemeester

The aesthetics of the Finnish brand is very close to me. Laitinen, so I have a lot of their things. Light gray printed jacket from their first collection. The quality of the wool is amazing, the designers sewed trousers at the Punta Seta factory in Italy. They won access to it as a special prize at the Hyerés festival. A print is a photograph taken on the streets of Paris.

I bought leather shorts on the same sale Laitinen. This is a fawn's skin, elastic enough to be washed in a typewriter - it is terribly comfortable.

Shirt Laitinen also made from very nice wool. She belonged to the designer, but after washing the village and became small to him - then he gave it to me. I am lucky!

Backpack parachute Raf simons I got to work in college. He is so roomy! Perfect for a summer picnic.

Boots Ann demeulemeester bought in Helsinki10.

Cap DRKSHDW by Rick Owens, shirt Laitinen vest Raf simons trousers Laitinen boots Ann demeulemeester

Aesthetic views of Raf Simons, his taste in film and music, love for subcultures had a great influence on me. I am in constant search of his early work on the Internet and during travels. About a year ago I found a cell vest from his SS 2003 collection on superfuture.com, but it was too expensive. Therefore, I suggested to a friend who loves Rafa no less than mine, to go shopping and wear one by one. A few months later I bought it for half the price and never regretted it.

Leather pants Laitinen I bought from the designer himself. They were made specifically for the Mango design contest that year. The same pants were in their main collection, but women's sizes fit me better: I'm such a dwarf.

Jacket, shirt and boots - all Ann demeulemeester

I bought the costume in the vintage shop Labels inc. in Antwerp, where we traveled by car with mom last summer. The range in the store was awesome. I bought a lot of great stuff there.

Translucent shirt to the ankles, by the way, also from there.

I bought classic jockey boots in the Helsinki10 store, where I work as a manager.

Suit Number (N) ine, shirt Laitinenboots Ann demeulemeester

Shirt Laitinen I bought from a friend.

I have always been a huge fan of Nirvana and photos of Charles Peterson. Of course, as soon as I saw the costume Number (N) ine with a print of photos of Charles from a crazy gig group, I was just crazy. After an endless search for something with this print, I finally saw a pair of pants of my size on eBay. When the price has passed for 800 euros, I have already buried my hopes to buy something from that collection. A few years later I went to Paris Fashion Week, visited a vintage shop on Rue du Roi de Sicile and saw a whole suit of my size for 450 euros! The costume is made of stunning fabric, the picture is not printed, but embroidered on it.
