Andreas,
Münzstraße, Berlin


Personal style is not supposed to change too much. Maybe you add something new and throw away something old, but overall should be same. My personal style is personal and I have everything I could fashion-wise wish for. Street style depends on the size of the city. In a big city like Berlin it is very diverse and you can see almost everything.



Anke,
Ku’damm, Berlin

I really like the Hackescher Markt region. It carries a rather bohemian vibe and has the best street style in Berlin. Other areas are more mainstream and filled with tourists. My favourite designer is Marc Jacobs and one of my current favourite items are these sandals from Topshop. My favourite colours are grey and blue.

Made in Berlin on Neue Schönhauser Straße, Berlin


I’m originally from Finland, but at the moment I live in Berlin. I prefer slouchy clothes and combine them however I feel like. For example this t-shirt functions as my everyday wear but also as my nightwear. My current favourite item is this leather jacket and I like my grey dyed hair. For new ideas I look what homeless wear.


Linda,
Hackescher Markt, Berlin


Berlin’s street style is as diverse as the city itself. I’m wearing really comfortable clothes, because at the moment I’m rushing to my university. I buy a lot of my clothes from COS, where I also work so I know what is worth buying. I prefer very simple and plain basics.



Sebastien,
Münzstraße, Berlin


Music is a major force in my life. I’m in a band called Dadajugend Polyform and I like new wave music mixed with electro and punk. These preferences obviously affect my personal style too. I like to shop in British flea markets. Here in Berlin people wear bit uniform-like clothes and this makes its style unique.


Karen,
Neue Schönhauser Straße, Berlin

Flea markets are a great source for ideas. You see clothes from previous decades, but many of them, when styled, right look new and inspiring. Today I’m mostly wearing second-hand clothes, but also some samples. I’m a womenswear designer for Cheap Monday so I wear that a lot too.



Hanna,
Rosenthaler Straße, Berlin

My friends describe my style black’n’comfortable. I choose to wear mainly clack and I spice it up with colourful details. Stylish and artistic people around me give me new ideas. Most of my friends are designers and I’m a jewellery designer for Hanna af Ekström. My favourite brands are Swedish Acne and Cheap Monday.

Liina,
Pikk str, Tallinn

I like to use details from Estonian traditional clothes and combine them with more modern pieces. These shoes and belt are one of the examples. I today bought a new pair of traditional shoes. Estonian folklore isn’t the only one that interests me. I recently went to Mexico and the colourful textiles and motives used in their clothes are overwhelming.



Anna,
Rotermann’s block, Tallinn


Most of my clothes are tailored, because then I know they will fit perfectly. My mother buys all these different Vogues and I like to browse them for ideas. Anna Sui is a great designer, because her creations are so creative. I also like Miu Miu’s shoes. I’m actually living in Tartu so if I go shopping I either come to Tallinn or go abroad. Today I'm wearing smart clothes, because I went to theatre.


Heilin,
Estonia Blvd, Tallinn


I don’t want to have one certain style, but I don’t mind if someone else has it. I like to experiment with new things and try new looks. I make most of my own clothes. I go to shops, gather some ideas and later on combine details and cuts I saw in a way they would work on me.

Aljona,
Kohvicum, Tallinn


Today is such a beautiful day and I wanted to express my positive mood through my clothes. I think I’m quite artistic person, because I like to play musical instruments, act, draw and I like to be playful in fashion too. However, I don’t think about fashion, it comes intuitively. Today I’m wearing a dress and stockings that used to belong to my mother.



Haana,
Kohvicum, Tallinn


My style is ever-changing. Only a year ago I was emo and before that I preferred rock style, but I always like second-hand clothes. I already have quite of a collection. It is important that clothes (at least on some level) match. My favourite colours are brown, yellow and orange – very warm shades. I absolutely dislike sparkly and über-feminine clothes.



Doris-Marii and Epp,
Sauna str, Tallinn


We both like very colourful clothes and usually shop at second-hands. The best places to shop in Tallinn are flea market at Balti Jaam and Paavli’s shop. ‘
Epp: For me fashion magazines don’t really matter. If you see something nice, then ok, but I don’t look for something particular nor do I have favourite designers.
Doris- Marii: I don’t care about designers either. Currently I’m making a maxi dress for myself.



Alissa,
Viru str, Tallinn


I think I have a classical style. I prefer smart clothes and I like to shop in places that don’t focus too much on trends. Trends change but your true style should remain the same. I have so many favourite labels, for example Dolce & Gabbana, then Jil Sander, where I got this bag and I also like high-street labels such as Benetton, where I got this wrap sweater.

This weekend was the tenth annual Supernoova gala. For those who do not know, this is a fashion competition for Estonian designers. This year the winners were Liisi Eesmaa in the older category and Kristel Kuslapuu in the younger category. They have been both featured in Just Glitter Lust and you can check them out if you click on their names.

As there are always many stylish people at Supernoova, I couldn't manage taking pictures and interviewing on my own. So these pictures are all taken by Siim Lepik and I focused on interviews. You can check out his other photos

Tomas,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn


Cheap and almost disposable clothes are doing a huge damage to the environment and therefore I try to wear vintage and second-hand clothes. If I buy something new, I like clothes that have a good quality, for example Vivienne Westwood’s creations. I’m actually from Sweden, but I live in Tallinn. Here designers have more elaborate style, but in Sweden it is all about minimalist style. One thing I don’t get is why there are so few menswear designers in Estonia.



Andreas and his “Karl Lagerfeld”,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn


Currently I’m bit obsessed with American culture. I like the multicultural diversity that is always present there. One of the best icons of American culture is Mickey Mouse. Another factor that defines my current style is speed plus today I also have my own Karl Lagerfeld with me so my outfit had to suit his.



Keskla,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn


One of my favourite womenswear designers is Giambattista Valli. His last three-four collections have been extremely inspiring. When it comes to menswear, it is a lot more difficult to point out one favourite, because the level of clothes seems to change every season. Currently my favourite is maybe Gucci.



Kärt,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn


I built up my outfit on this Star Wars ‘ t-shirt and I wanted to wear something more feminine, although usually it isn’t my style. My favourite international designer isYohji Yamamoto. I’m disappointed in last week’s ERKI fashion show and this one. All clothes have some ugly bric-a-brac attached to it and nothing really catches your eye.



Andres,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn

My style has become more mature and I’m not affected by trends as much as before. Only thing that has remained the same over the years is my favourite designer Vivienne Westwood. I wanted to wear a completely different outfit, but then I just chose something comfortable. My current must-have items are shorts and anything blue.



Jana-Liisa,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn


I love different colours and especially different purples and violets. I like shopping in high street shops, but I try to mix things so the outfit would look more interesting. I pick an item and try to match everything else to it. If nothing suits, I’ll be innovative, for example this skirt actually used to be a top. This summer oversized shirts will be a basic in my wardrobe.



Mirjam,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn

All kinds of different stockings play a huge part in my style. I love them in every colour and texture. There aren’t many places to get unusual stockings, but I recently discovered Suva’s store near Balti Jaam. I also like different patterns. This spring floral patterns are all the rage.


Joosep,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn

I definitely don’t buy fanatically fashion magazines nor is my favourite TV channel fashion TV nor do I really care about high fashion. If you choose clothes intuitively, it is more likely that you will get it right. I like wearing different rings. Some of the rings used to belong to my grandmother. I don’t know what to think about Estonian fashion designers. It isn’t great and it isn’t bad just mediocre.



Hendrik,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn


Estonian fashion designers only concentrate on the show and not on the clothes. Very often they basically sew the outfits on models and therefore they have a poor quality. Due to that only very few people can wear their creations. All that said, I admit that they do have great shows. My own style usually follows different themes. I have something in my mind and dress according to it.



Kai,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn


I’m a designer and I always try to wear my own designs. Ideas for new clothes come mainly from music. Recently I have been listening to Duran Duran and The Clash, but I made this dress just because I had this fabric. My favourite designer is Giorgio Armani, because his designs are always so chic. When it comes to fashion, I think media should focus more on clothes not on models.



Maarja,
Supernoova at Russian Theatre, Tallinn


I’m working for a web publication called Femme and it also does a street style section, therefore it is bit funny to be the one from whom the questions are asked. My wardrobe consists mainly of heels and dresses. This summer I also like this denim jacket. The first thing I look at the Supernoova’s collections is quality, but I don’t want to name any favourites.

Margus,
Tammsaare’s Park, Tallinn


The era I like the most is the Seventies. I like hippie clothes, but they should always have a classic well-tailored touch. A friend of mine once tried to describe my style and called it “aristocratic hippie”. Ideas and inspiration come from the same era, but as I’m a film director, I get some ideas from films too.


Hele,
Pikk str, Tallinn

I had this jacket done by my tailor. I wanted to have a part of it bit schoolgirlish and I was recommended to have a similar neckline. My clothes always have to be comfortable. By this I mean that clothes have to feel like a second skin. Another thing that is important is that clothes should not have big logos because they look just tacky.



Aveli,
Town Hall Square, Tallinn

Obviously punk music inspires me and I like to see what punk musicians wear and interpret it. I tend to wear punk elements with a lot of colour. I get a lot of clothes from my friends, for example this leather jacket. My must-have accessory is safety pin. I don’t like when people try so hard to follow a style they have seen somewhere and won’t make it their own.


Jana,
Foorum, Tallinn


Clothes can look very different on different people. It doesn’t matter what is ‘in’, but how you carry it off. This summer I like short dresses and also the timeless Chanel style, but unfortunately I cannot afford it. I usually shop when I’m abroad and I like to go to vintage shops. Next things I’d like to get are high colourful platforms.


Robi,
Tatari str, Tallinn


The love of mainstream fashion that dominates in Estonia is really annoying. Currently my style is bit psychedelic and I like different colourful hoodies. I got this one from some online shop. I saw it and just had to have it.



Gerli,
Vabaduse Square, Tallinn


Today I have had a busy work day and therefore I’m wearing quite formal clothes. Work and duties dictate what I can or can’t wear. My casual style is ever changing and if I’m asked what my style is, I cannot point it out. Only colours tend to remain same. I wear a lot of black and white.



Alina,
Suur-Karja str, Tallinn


Today I’m wearing a lot of my mother’s old clothes, but I don’t mind buying clothes from high street shops too. I like this small brown leather bag, but now I also want an oversize brown leather bag. I don’t think about my style. It comes and should come intuitively – what feels right, is right.
