A fusion of the best in Scandinavian fashion and an environmentally and socially sustainable production – FIN’s SS08 collection already counts Keira Knightley and Kate Bosworth as fans. FIN has also been designed by Norway’s most celebrated design duo – Arne & Carlos – winners of the most prestigious Norwegian fashion design award; ‘The Golden Needle’.
The SS08 collection reflects many aspects of the Arne & Carlos signature feminine design, with a few subtle, yet extravagant details, such as; using supersoft organic Pima cotton – the most luxurious cotton fabric in the world and beautifully sophisticated, hand embroidered detailing. The main inspiration for this collection has been drawn from the romantic notion of travelling to far-flung lands; Think - soft desert sands under a sheltering sky, oceans at sunset and a glass of martini in the evening breeze as the landscape slowly fades…
Ethical issues addressed:
FIN launches for Spring/Summer 08 as the first high-fashion brand to use organic and Fairtrade certified cotton exclusively in their collections, as well as introducing the first carbon-neutral clothing brand! By buying carbon credits to off-set their Co2 production emissions from Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects certified by the UN in the countries where they produce - FIN has become the leading and most innovative player in eco-fashion!
