In September, IvanaHelsinki made its debut at New York’s biannual Fashion Week with its spring/summer collection. Suhonen is the first Finnish designer featured in the show’s history.
Suhonen, also working as the brand’s spokesperson, told YLE that the invitation to Fashion Week did not come without effort. Realising this fashion dream required hard work, contacts and a visually unique collection, according to the designer.
Staged at the Lincoln Center, New York Fashion Week runs from February 10 through 17. IvanaHelsinki hits the runway on the final day of the show.
