Inspirational Women: Tallinn
We´d love to present you 3 very talented and gorgeous girls straight from the capital of Estonia.
It´s no secret that Estonian women are beautiful, hard-working and independent. But these girls push these terms to the next level. All of them have inspired me so much, and been such great friends, that they now all have pieces from our collections named after them.
Here they share their insider tips for your next visit to Tallinn.
Name: Katrin Emmus
Age: 30
Job: interior architect / set designer
Favourite place in Tallinn?
It's a small cafe called Kohalik, in one of Tallinn's hip areas Uus Maailm. I can sit there for hours. The food is delicious, service is super-sweet and the atmosphere is home-like.
What advice would you give someone visiting Tallinn for the first time?
Don't "get stuck" in the old town! We all know that it's a fairytale-like place in a must-see list when visiting Tallinn, but try to find at least a day (or two!) to take a walk in the Kalamaja region. Our so-called hipster-area, where all the houses are wooden, streets are much narrower and people seem to have a constant 'keep-smiling' look on their faces. All the small businesses, bakeries, restaurants, galleries, flea-markets and other 'hidden extras' add a certain charm to the whole area.
Favourite Kriss Soonik piece?
Glitter Wings Wrap
How do you wear/style your Kriss Soonik piece?
I enjoy matching my Susan Chic Lace Body with a pair of ripped skinny jeans - the contrast of these two pieces is fabulous (and sexy ;)! I also adore the fact that the -Glitter Wings Wrap (which I usually tend to wear as a dressing gown) can be worn as a light jacket so easily. I just tie the silk belt from behind (on my back).

Come here either in the summer or when there's snow. Also, beauty treatments in Tallinn are absolute top notch so get everything done before you head back home!

How do you wear/style your Kriss Soonik piece?

Name: Diana Treu

Favourite place in Tallinn?
So, my favorite place or should I say area in Tallinn is definitely Kalamaja with it’s flourishing bohemian atmosphere.
What advice would you give to someone visiting Tallinn for the first time?
For a person visiting Tallinn for the first time I would recommend venturing beyond the walls of Old Town to get a more authentic experience. Places like Kalamaja, Telliskivi, Kadriorg or Pirita are all popular with locals.
Favourite Kriss Soonik piece(s)?
Kristel Suspender Top with Long Sleeves
How do you wear/style your Kriss Soonik piece?
I wear the Kristel Suspender Top with Long Sleeves during winter as a sexy alternative to warm underwear. Otherwise I pair it up with jeans, skirts or just stockings :)
