Dress like a queen in Helsinki

Fans puzzling over what to wear in Helsinki need look no further, as a new line of Eurovision Song Contest-themed clothing and accessories comes out in Finland this month.

Helsinki-based specialist clothing outfit Limbo proudly present their new Eurovision collection this April, designed by Markku and Hanna Kopra and entitled Eurovision Queen. The range includes T-shirts, bags, and even speedos featuring tongue-in-cheek prints of legends like Carola (who appears emblazoned with the motto Holy Carola) and even rising stars of 2007, such as Verka Serduchka – perhaps a good omen for the Ukrainian entry?

Described as items "you simply can't fiesta without", the collection is squarely aimed at the Eurovision Song Contest party crowd, bringing "a brand new meaning to essentials" according to the official press release.

You can find out more direct from Limbo atAnnankatu 13, 00120 Helsinki, or contact [email protected] for more details.
