WINDOW ON THE WORLD
Finland Special
By Isobel.Stardoll

Finland's Independence Day (Finnish itsenäisyyspäivä, Swedish självständighetsdag) celebrate Finland's declaration of independence on 6 Dec 1917. Shops decorate their windows in blue & white of the Finnish flag, and bakeries producing cakes with blue & white icing. It is traditional for many Finnish families to light 2 candles in each window of their home in the evening.

Minna Parikka has been designing shoes since she was 15 yrs old. She studied shoe design in England and worked in both London & Ital before returning to Helsinki in 2005 to work on her new label - featuring not only shoes, but knitwear, scarves and other accessories. Ivana Helsinki was founded by designer Paola Suhonen and her sister Pinjo with an aesthetic of genuine-use with for a reputation for Finnish hand labor & high quality materials.

The Sibelius Movement is dedicated to the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) located in Sibelius park (Sibeliuspuisto) in Helsinki. The monument was designed by Eila Hiltunen & sparked a lively debate about the merits & flaws of abstract art.
