Even though the darkest day of the year is behind us, the days up in the North are still gloomy. In Finland pedestrians must according the law use a
reflector to ensure their own safety when using roads, yet only a few wear them as reflectors are often regarded plain ugly (especially by teens). I must admit, the selection of reflectors was poor a decade ago, but since that reflectors have been designed in cooperation with
Finnish top designers, the situation has gotten a lot better from those days.
Now Finnish designer Laura Juslin has designed a collection of reflective garments and accessories in a collaboration with the insurance company IF. She has managed to prove the Finnish folk that it is indeed possible to wear a reflector and look chic at the same time! My personal favorite is the reflective beanie pictured above - which one do you like the best?
The collection is available
online and can be found from certain stores in Helsinki.
