innovation

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF FASHION.

How one approaches design—
method, manufacturing, ethos—
can set apart designers and
unwittingly define a movement.
Helsinki-based design duo
Aamu Song and Johan Olin,
known as COMPANY, have
been redefining the design
process with awe-inspiring
results. Instead of designing a
product and finding a factory
to produce it, they work by
developing a product based
on the artisan strengths and
craftsmanship of a particular
factory. This leads to a variety
of masterful creations that
have gained them a loyal,
international following.

One of our favorites, The
Dance Shoes for Father and
Daughter, are manufactured by
Finish felt company Huopaliike
Lahtinen in Jämsä. Available
in a variety of sizes, these
are one of many COMPANY
creations that combine the
best in innovative design with
masterful manufacturing. We
couldn’t think of a better way
to celebrate this month of love.

beauty myths
and solutions...

WE CAUGHT UP WITH skincare expert ILDI
PEKAR TO BUST THOSE BEAUTY MYTHS once
and for all.

MYTH: Is it possible to shrink your pores?
This is a huge beauty myth! Once you hit
puberty, you officially have your adult size pores.
There are ways to reduce the appearance of your
pores, but you cannot shrink them.
SOLUTION: Get a Deep Cleansing Facial once
a month to clear your pores. Using Retinol-A
overnight helps reduce the appearance of pores
but this is only a temporary effect.

MYTH: Does changing your skin care
products yield better results? The fact is,
the skin doesn’t adapt to a skin care product.
SOLUTION: As long as the product contains
healthy ingredients that are beneficial for your
skin, it will always be beneficial for your skin.

MYTH: Can sleeping give you wrinkles?
When you put pressure on your skin
overnight it does cut back circulation causing
puffiness and wrinkles over time.
SOLUTION: We recommend sleeping on your back
to avoid wrinkles. If you have issues with that, try
a satin pillow case.

MYTH: Does putting toothpaste on a
pimple get rid of it? The menthol is the
only thing that can reduce the appearance of the
breakout. The rest of the ingredients can be very
irritating for the skin.
SOLUTION: Opt for baking soda with honey to
cleanse the area of bacteria, hydrate it, and heal it
over time. — IldiPekar.com

AVOCADO: Avocado is your best
friend. The fruit is rich in Vitamins
B, C, E and K. Mash up an avocado
and use it plain as a face mask. It helps
skin retain moisture, which is great
for fighting wrinkles. Eating avocado,
especially in the winter when we can
have vitamin deficiencies, is also great.
During colder months, it’s natural for
us to crave creamier comfort foods, and
avocado has the perfect consistency.
SUGAR: I’m a huge fan of sugar scrubs
because they are so luxurious and easy
to make. Take brown sugar and your
favorite oil (olive is a good option)
and add an essential oil for natural

peppermint is more energizing. Pick
the one that fits your mood!
