Riikka Manni (b. 1989)

The Frida Fiasko brand is embodied by me, Riikka Manni. I am a colourful, character driven designer and tailor who finds clothing to be a method of self-representation both for the creators and the wearers.

Conveying emotions and stories supported by high-quality clothing is my great passion. It is important to me that the garment fits the wearer’s personality, is safe and functions flawlessly for its purpose.

I have worked especially with stagewear since 2007. I got a great start for my career in professional theater, from which I took off after founding my own company in 2012.

As an entrepreneur, I have toured circus and varieté shows around Europe, dressing wonderful international artists. These days I design theater costumes and retrofuturistic fashion.
