finnish designer daniel palillo is a designer going from strength to strength, taking his trademark supersized proportions and black metal aesthetics to new and exciting extremes each season. his new spring/summer collection 'renaissance' has just arrived featuring padded 3 dimensional spike shoulder pads, jester like flaps and dark prints penned by daniel himself. we probed daniel (in a nice way) about his inspirations, best fashion moments, and his knowledge of new zealand...
