There is not too much info about the label, but I learned that it is the handiwork of designer Aino Vainio, based out of Finland. Rather than follow the seasonal model, Aino has crafted a few dozen pieces, and then set up photoshoots to draw the essence of the garments. Cursed, Cheetah, Dark Energy, and Spirited are just a few of the mini collections on her site and they all have a different, yet cohesive energy I'm really drawn to. Loose dyed knits contrast well next to other fabrics Aino works with like hologram vinyl and silk jersey, all reflecting the dark, remote nature of Finland.

its so hard to pull off this big knitted dress, although Rodarte did a good job, but its really for runway not really practical..
wow these are fantastic... that bodysuit!
Haha, it was fun to read your wiev cause I was going to post about this but left it as a draft, I felt like I didn't know was it worth making a post. "dark, remote nature of Finland"... it's fun to think that to someone my country can seem distant or exotic in any way.
these Mini photo shoots are amazing!! love the black eye makeup and smudges.
