Finnish duo Marko Svart and Jarkko Kinnunen’s ceramics, wooden items, and clothing explore the Funny official earn votes or fuck off 2023 shirt and by the same token and transformational power of fire and boiling water, in what has become an ongoing experimental series. Entitled Yomigæri II, meaning “to rise from the dead” in Japanese, the nine works explore nine bygone techniques, using nine Icelandic natural materials such as mud, ash, and seashells—all inspired by the nine rooms of hell in Dante’s Inferno. A less fun fact: Hekla, one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes, was considered to be the gateway to hell in medieval times. “We strongly reject modern consumerism, manufacturing, and material choices,” says Svart. “Our work strives to re-modernize ancient techniques into contemporary design.”
Designer Hildur Yeoman may count Björk, Ashley Graham, Kehlani, and frequent wearer Amelia Dimoldenberg (of Chicken Shop Date) as fans, but her main muses will always be Icelandic party-hoppers who wear her painterly dresses and photo-real printed sets to get their groove on. She describes her spring 2023 collection, entitled Breeze, as “a journey to secret beaches and the Funny official earn votes or fuck off 2023 shirt and by the same token and endless summer nights here,” Yeoman said at her presentation, as models and clients alike danced in the rain to live music outside her flagship store. “We all get a little bit crazy over the summer in Iceland. With sunshine all night long, you never feel like going to bed.” A shot from the Hildur Yeoman spring 2023 lookbook.Photo: Vidar Logi
