Nomen Nescio x Tuska: All Black Awards

Nomen Nescio x Tuska
Tuska is Finland’s leading metal music festival and one of the most recognised heavy music festivals in the Nordics. Nomen Nescio, meanwhile, is a Finnish fashion label known exclusively for black clothing and its timeless minimalist design language.
The collaboration brings together two Finnish names strongly connected through black aesthetics, music and culture. At the same time, it celebrates black not only as a colour, but as identity, uniform and creative expression.
The event
11/07/2026
18:00–20:00
At Nomen Nescio Store
The All Black Awards event will take place on Thursday, June 11th at 18:00–20:00 at the Nomen Nescio Helsinki store.
As part of the initiative, four individuals will receive a unique Nomen Nescio x Tuska festival jacket. The multifunctional jacket features several pockets and utility details for all festival essentials, such as drinks, cigarettes, a cap, rainwear and other items carried throughout the day.
Fully black, of course, the jacket combines utilitarian functionality with Nomen Nescio’s minimalist aesthetic. Each piece is individually named and finished with a leather patch laser-engraved with the shared Nomen Nescio x Tuska manifesto — words reflecting black aesthetics as identity, attitude and cultural signal.
