Finnish designer Piia Hänninen, whose collections are based around sustainability and ethics, has relaunched her website with a new look, in time for her spring–summer 2013 season.
Hänninen’s new collection, Zebra in the Savannah, can be purchased via her website, while buyers and media can check out her autumn–winter 2013–14 collection, Wolf and Cherrywood.
The spring collection combines the elegance of well cut garments with a wild Scandinavian print, with an inspiration from the African wild as well as 1960s Paris. The collection uses natural fibres, cotton and silk, while the prints are the subject of a collaboration between the designer and Teemu Keisteri, an artist.
She manufactures mostly in Finland, with fabrics printed in Finland and Germany. Her influences are from Italy, where she had worked for brands such as Fendi, while she trained at the London College of Fashion.
