"My perfect summer look/ Three tastemakers remember the looks that lasted:
Tiina Laakkonen:
"When I lived in London and New York, I had what I called my 'black wardrobe.' It was like Yohji [Yamamoto] and Comme des Garçons. But I never wore it in summer. I would wear slip dresses from Dosa, which I still wear and still mean summer to me. I think I bought my first one in 1995, and now I have stacks of them - all the same shape but with different details, some with ruffles, some with vintage lace. I'm 50 now so I don't look as good in a slip dress as I used to, but I always felt that there was something special about them. You're not wearing something that's wearing you.""
