Helsinki
Finland’s biggest city Helsinki, the World Design Capital of 2012, is a place that is just oozing with Nordic coolness – and that’s not referring to the winter temperatures that can drop to -15 Celcius. Instead, it’s the Finnish hipsters, the fashion-conscious artists, designers and their hangarounds that give this little-known city such a special vibe. Text: Mirva Lempiäinen.
