“We want to extend a warm thank you for a fantastic show to all guests who attended and all those who participated in organising this event,” says Katja Siberg VP Marketing and Business Development at Finavia, the Finnish airport operator. “The designers’ creations sparkled on the runway and the atmosphere was made perfect by the beautiful weather.

Aviation has had a key role in spreading fashion phenomena around the world. Every day on our flights, we see how fashion inspires and connects people. This event has now also created new international bonds.”
