I am very happy that Sauli won and I think he looks absolutely great in the photos. I also hope he did follow it through with more interviews and didn't rush to LA. We also had the first snow in the Southern Finland yesterday evening which he certainly wouldn't want to miss. It is such a special moment for us.

Yeah, Sauli must be on his way already, a month is a long time...

The lady in pink is said to be Sauli's friend Pinksu but does anyone know who is the blonde with Sauli in the Elle 'cover' photos?

ETA Are you thinking too that Sauli's work that he did not reveal yet in Iltalehti interview has something to do with TV? There is a fashion programme on AVA 'Muotitietoinen' starting in two weeks, maybe he appears in it?

No mention of the Gala on Iltasanomat??? Perhaps they are waiting for it to be broadcasted first?

Metropoli is a free monthly tabloid for 18-40 year-olds delivered in stands (13 cities) and to homes of the target group (10 cities). The publication date is last friday of the month, so I assume the story from Elle Awards did not make the paper version but is published ontheir site.

Sauli Koskinen is the Best Male Dresser of 2012 (Oct 27, 2012)
Original title: Sauli Koskinen on vuoden 2012 Paras Miespukeutuja

(Gala was organized the 4th time, 10000 votes were cast to determine the male and female winner, winners in other categories were decided by judges).

The jury of Elle Style Awards described Koskinen's winning style as 'rock-ish'. The key factors in his dressing are slim-fit jeans together with a casual t-shirt and a fitted jacket. Accessories are important for him and his favourites are impressive shoes and jewellery.

Sauli Koskinen makes his own path in dressing but is always a predecessor in fashion. His win is thus in line with Elle's goal this year to bring up not only fashion professionals in Style Awards but also virtuosos that interpret fashion in their own style. Fashion photographs and dressing style of Koskinen are acclaimed both on the streets and in fashion publications. In the summer 2012 international FAULT Magazine published several pages of Koskinen's fashion photos.

Koskinen's appearance is guaranteed style and high standard without unnecessary show off. Under the man of the world style there is also a bracing factor: in his home page with over a million visitors and in his blog in internet media Sauli's stories entertain people and build a positive picture of Finland for fans all over the world. Sauli's cheerfulness is inspiring and his ability to encounter people socially is heartwarming.

- Thank you for all voters that you chose this kind of guy to win! rejoiced Sauli in his acceptance speech in Elle Style Awards Gala.
