“I am wearing a woollen skirt made by my aunt and hand-knitted socks with a traditional pattern from the island of Kihnu in Estonia. The striped jacket is my dad’s, it’s very warm and I have a habit of stealing his clothes, while the turtleneck and leather jacket are both thrifted. The necklace is from my mum’s jewelry box, and Doc Martens add a finishing touch. I am mostly influenced by a very specific way of dressing in my school in Tallinn – while it’s compulsory to wear modest, dark and academic clothes, the school itself is a harbour to many artists (including myself) and bohemians, and thus, a unique style has developed there.”

“I’m wearing my dad’s old jacket which he hesitantly gave to me since apparently it’s too ’raggare’ for me. The scarf is my late grandma’s. The skirt is a second hand kids skirt. The pants are resized by me and my dear friend. And the shoes have gotten very slippery but I like to stuff the pant legs inside them. I pay attention to silhouettes and a general vibe and I’m inspired by noticing and combining.”
