Paola Ivana Suhonen, Helsinki born designer behind the independent fashion and cinema brand Ivana Helsinki channeled “Indian Summer” for the inspiration for her Spring/Summer 2012 collection for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week – “Love Stories, Road Trips & Dresses///Northern Oddity, Pure Beauty & Wildwood Vagabonds.” The show began with a slideshow of playful images of girls running through the woods and a haunting melodic soundtrack, reminiscent of what she described as a balance between “white arctic summer nights and endless winter sadness … eerie hovering isolation and intense starkness.”
