“I'm wearing a thrifted jacket, Ben Davis trousers, beat up Chucks and my mom's old bag where I carry all my essential stuff. Everything apart from the trousers are second hand. I have always liked short tops and wide trousers. Music I listen to has also effected my style.”

”I’m wearing a long sleeve shirt designed by Teemu Keisteri. I’m doing a challenge in which I only buy maximum 5 new pieces of clothing per year and this was the first piece of this year. For jeans I’m wearing skinny jeans from Tiger Of Sweden. I worked three years in jeans store and I just don’t know how to use any other than black skinny jeans anymore. The jeans store also explains why I had to get the Levis fanny pack. For shoes I have a pair or Dr.Martens. I like how leather lives, shapes and how you can restore it. The most important piece I’m wearing is the anti fascist pocket mirror from a band called Kansalaistottelemattomuus.”

“I am wearing cargo trousers I found at Uff, my dad's t-shirt, a black hoodie, my grandfathers fanny bag, and my favourite Adidas sneakers. Majority of my clothes are thrifted. I mostly wear black, white, and beige but I like my hair some bright colour. For me it’s important that my clothes are comfortable and practical, I don’t usually spend a lot of time thinking about my outfit, right now I am inspired by street and skater style.”

“I’m wearing Doc Marten boots, Dickies work pants, a Levi’s shirt, don’t know where the vest and bandana appeared to my closet. I mostly wear things I buy or get from friends. I’m not big spender when it comes to clothing, I appreciate durability. My style is inspired by Billy from Easy Rider, Cosmo Kramer, Travis Bickle, Jaakko Hietakangas, Aki Lehtosaari, Jake Phelps, Tony Iommi and the Cro-Mags - We Gotta Know music video.”

Albulena, 29

“My style is inspired by skate boarding and playfulness. Now I'm wearing a My Favorite Things bucket hat which I customized with political slogans, peace signs, and unicorns. They go well with my feminist socks. The fringe jacket adds some contrast and hippie vibes to the outfit.”
