Fashion & Beauty
FinnFest 2011 will bring the components of Finnish beauty and fashion to San Diego. Finnish design has its unique look that we want to present to the American audience and visitors of FinnFest 2011.
Fashion will also connect to the environment and clean tech theme. FinnFest 2011 will host a design competition for Finnish and American design students. Students are invited to send photos of their designs in which they have used recyclable materials. The designs will be judged by fashion professionals and eventually a winner will be announced.
Come and see what we have on the catwalks in Finland!
