You don't have to be Robert Frost to appreciate the beauty of Birch trees.

These white-barked beauties stand out from the crowd, so much so that they are a symbol of nature and a national tree of Finland. Specifically, the silver birch of Finland is its national tree and one of the inspiration for this color collection by Finnish stylist Katie Soukas.

This collection aims to capture the magical essence of a Finnish birch forest. Organicity flows through each proposal, connecting creativity with nature in a harmonious manner. Simultaneously, celestial clarity illuminates every style, infusing the light of confidence and tranquility into every detail. This collection is not just a display of technical skill but a tribute to the beauty found in the simplicity of nature.

Downy Birch

The older trunks of the Downy Birch weave a darker palette of colors, which Suokas masterfully exploits through her freehand painting technique.

The gentle sway of birch branches, dancing to the rhythm of the wind, inspires the high fashion images of the collection.

Silver Birch

Picture yourself immersed in the purity of the Silver Birch, where trunks shine with pure white, and black marks barely glimpse on young birches. It is this vision that has brought to life the clearest images of the collection, reflecting the luminosity emanating from nature.
