ONAR Studios is a Helsinki-based fashion label introducing a contemporary and minimal take on Nordic craftsmanship. ONAR, which means “dream” in ancient Greek, is the brainchild of designer Irene Kostas. It sprang to life out of love for quality materials, craftsmanship and wear-forever design. Irene is inspired by contrasts and the fusions of unlikely matches. In her design, Scandinavian graphic shapes and minimalism meets the mysticism and richness of the Byzantine and the simple, loose silhouettes borrowed from the monastics. The ONAR collections utilize already existing materials. Nothing is farmed. The furs and leathers are hand-picked from a variety of Finnish wild game pelts, recycled vintage fur and Italian lamb skins that are byproducts of sheep farming. The clothes and accessories are handmade by artisans in Finland and Greece, in areas that are specialized for centuries in the traditional craft of leatherwork.
