Stamp geek alert here! I didn't think my stint at Stanley Gibbons during my uni days would rear its head but it sort of has in the form of this special issue of Finnish stamps where they have chosen five fashion designers from Finland to grace this set of stamps. One of them is Finsk designed by Julia Lundsten who has put their standout S/S 09 grey fish skin two-part heel shoe (the black version is available from Labour of Love) on the stamp. Come 6th May when a Special Collector's pack of these stamps comes out, I'm sure some other uni student earning extra funds stock checking at Stanley Gibbons will be filing these away...
Finsk's S/S 09 Collection - As per usual has different woods, different finishes with unexpected colour combinations that always come off looking completely natural and unforced. I always love how portions of the wood is treated to paint finishes to keep the graphic angular lines flowing in each shoe.
