paris fashion week - Ivana Helsinki

Ivana Helsinki's designer is Paola Suhonen, from well, Helsinki. I loved the whole Bambi theme, their invites were Bambi shaped, they had these paper Bambi sculptures outside, Bambi print on the clothes. and I like how the show had a progression of color--from neutrals to all pink a the end.
out of the 19 models there were 2 non-blondes! all Finnish, and all the crew was Finnish too. a photog team was photographing with a 4x5 for Glamour. I wish someone would hire me to shoot something backstage with 4x5! but then...I guess I would have to market myself as a 4x5 shooter, which I don't...so i need to stop complaining.

she reminds me of Jessica Lorraine Peterson. =)



Outside after the show, everyone carrying the cavanvas bags.

I looooooooooooooooove this model! I'd have been happy to just shoot her all night. She looks like a Gemma-Vlada hybrid!

I love Paola's haircolor on her! it's white with just a hint of pink/purple....ok that's clown color really, but it looks good!

This is my fav. pic from this show, and of course it features my Gemma-Vlada
