(FI) Hotelli Punkaharju on nyt kovin esillä, onhan sinne tulossa vaikutusvaltaisia vieraita lounastamaan torstaina. Mahtavat puitteet arvovieraille - hienosti entisöity paikka, paljon kauniita yksityiskohtia ja tarjolla herkullista lähiruokaa. Ja ymröivä luonto on maagisen kaunis!
Punkaharjun hotellin ihana emäntä Saimi Hoyer järjesti upean Fashion Brunchin yhdessä muotisuunnittelija Jukka Rintalan kanssa. Meitä vieraita kestitettiin herkullisilla salaateilla, paikallisilla kaloilla ja kahvin kanssa tarjottavilla sesongin marjoista tehdyillä jälkkäreillä.
Muotinäytöksessä esiintyi paikallisten mallien lisäksi myös balleriina Jaana Puupponen, oopperalaulaja Tuuli Takala, taidemaalari Johanna Oras sekä Saimi itse. Ihastelin pukuja niin, että kuvaaminen jäi vähemmälle. Juhlapukujen lisäksi mallien päällä nähtiin myös Jukka Rintalan kauniita kesämekkoja.

(EN) Hotel Punkaharju has been the talk of the day lately as there will be some influential guests ( two prsidents!) having lunch this Thursday. Magnificiant surroundings for them - beautifully restored place, lots of gorgeous details, and delicious local food. Not to mention the almost magical nature around - lakes, forest & wild flowers!
The lovely hostess of Hotel Punkaharju Saimi Hoyer organized a fabulous Fashion Brunch the other day together with fashion designer Jukka Rintala. On the buffet there were delicious salads, local fish and desserts made of the seasonal berries .
In the fashion show there were local models and with them some Finnish celebs like ballerina Jaana Puupponen, soprano Tuuli Takala, painter Johanna Oras and Saimi herself. I was so fascinated by the gorgeous dresses that sometimes forgot to shoot. There were not only amazing evening gowns but also pretty summer dresses by Jukka Rintala.
