7. – 30.5.

15 Wonders exhibition

Location: Garden Room Kämp Galleria, Pohjoisesplanadi 33, Helsinki
Open Tuesday to Saturday 12-17

Finland has a unique position in the field of international fashion as a forerunner in future material solutions: Several ecological materials have been developed in Finland that can be used to replace resource-intensive materials such as cotton and to address the worldwide problem of textile waste. The exhibition presents some of these innovations as well as the material research and development by Aalto University students during their studies. The exhibition is produced by Juni Communication with Embassy of Finland in Berlin.

Designers: Rolf Ekroth, Leevi Ikäheimo, Anna Isoniemi, Ines Kalliala, Heidi Karjalainen, Tuuli-Tytti Koivula, Linda Kokkonen, Maria Korkeila, Emilia Kuurila, Julia Montin, Nomen Nescio, Anni Salonen, Anna Semi, Hanna-Maaria Sinkkonen, Netta Törmälä

Fashion Seminar

Location: Interviews available online, www.fashioninhelsinki.com/fashion-seminar/

Part I: Creative Matters
Why do employers want the fashion graduates who make clothes that the man on the street thinks are unwearable? What is that secret ingredient in good fashion design and how do we create and nurture it? Hosted by journalist Aino Frilander. Interviews with Kaisa Kinnunen, show studio manager, Anja Aronowsky Cronberg, founder and editor-in-chief of Vestoj and research fellow in fashion theory and practice at the London College of Fashion, Sara Maino, Deputy Editor in Chief Vogue Italia and Head of Vogue Talents and Miren Vives Almandoz, director, Cristóbal Balenciaga Museoa.

Part II: Reflections on inclusivity and marginalized identities in fashion design
In 2021 many global fashion brands are still reconciling with the lack of representation woven within the industry. Whether it’s race, gender, marginalized bodies or other, questions about inclusivity and identity are as crucial as they are central to today’s young and upcoming designers. The interviews reveal how some of the most exciting talents in the industry tackle the issues of representation and inclusivity in their work, and how their own identities reflect the brands they have created. Hosted by designer, queer artist and managing editor of Ruskeat Tytöt Media Ervin Latimer
