“I tend to like things that you can’t really say what it is, but there’s something that you can recognize,” says the Finnish designer.
“I tend to like things that you can’t really say what it is, but there’s something that you can recognize,” says Salonen. “ ‘Okay, this is a jean or this is a trench coat’—but it’s tweaked. You can still see the original, but there’s something that has been changed and makes you ask ‘ ‘What makes this special?’ I kind of like those awkward moments. You kind of have to make your own mind.”“My designs are a little bit like Helsinki in that they are very structured and controlled and functional.
A child of the ’90s, Salonen voraciously read magazines like Dutch. “For me that was the perfect balance of being dirty and gritty and punk music-related. That youth culture was really real to me.”Salonen’s own path to success is an uplifting one based on talent, hard work, and some happy accidents. Born in Helsinki, he grew up playing in the wood studio of his grandfather, an industrial designer. “Quite early on, I wanted to learn how to make clothing,” the Finn relates.
