Minna Parikka, whose shoes and bags have a worldwide market - 10 countries and 4 continents - is probably the youngest, and certainly one of Finland's most successful fashion designers. At 28, she is just beginning to build her empire!

How did she climb to these dazzling heights?

Minna admits to having had a “footwear fetish” from the age of 15. By the time she was into her early teens, her career path was clear. Success, however, didn’t come without effort and application. She studied footwear design in the UK and with the growing success of her ‘Minna Parikka’ line (launched in 2005), she continues to travel around the world seeking inspiration for new designs.

“From sweet and girly flats to glamour-girl wedges”, says Minna, “ to mile-high heels for the naughty seductress, there’s something for every leading lady. Get ready to fall in love”.

Minna Parikka's collection is available on her
web boutique.
