Last weekend I visited a special kind of head wear pop-up shop called O´himo.
This Berlin based shop run by Mimosa Pale was invited to fill the design districts shop LIIKE in Yrjönkatu, Helsinki. There was mostly hats from Mimosa Pale but also a selection of hats by Jukka Rusanen, Ida Palojärvi, IRIE:NE and EL.
I got a little head wear sparkle when I had a change to try these hats on and hear more about stories behind designs. I met my friend Linda Kurkio from IRIE:NE and Mimosa from Himo at the shop.
Linda studied Jewellery art and visual desing and later she also gratuated as a millinery. She likes to mix jewellery art to her beautiful and sophisticated hats. IRIE:NE is on going project wich includes head wear & accessories and also installations and visual beauty.
Linda and Mimosa met in Berlin when Linda went to do her internship to Mimosas Atelier Himo. Mimosa is a sculptor who got exited about hats through performance art. Her hats are something different. Sometimes one can´t say if they are hats or sculptures and that´s just great about them! She started to make Himo hats and now she has had her atelier 2,5 years. One more reason to visit Berlin for me is to see her atelier .
The best head-art ever!
