Kant
Heikki’s collection is based on the anarchistic artists Astrid Lindgren
(author of Pippi Longstocking) and Tove Jansson (author of "The
Moomins"). These authors coalesced with the characters they created. By
using traditional men’s tailoring and millinery techniques the clothes
have been embedded with a strong sense of character. The collection
pays homage to women with a huggable feminism, an attitude that has
exalted young boys and girls and put men on their knees. It is a
collection of real clothes for real people in an extended reality.
