Tuuli-Tytti Koivula and Sasha Heinsaar are selected to be featured in the exhibition ‘Nordic Fashion Now: Knitwear and Print’ at the Röhsska Museum of Design and Craft in Sweden, May- September 2023.
Tuuli-Tytti Koivula mixes inspiration from tight ski-racing gear and the Bregenzerwald traditional costume, which is a living tradition and part of UNESCO’s cultural heritage. Exaggerated and voluminous shapes are paired with clashing and contrasting material and printed surfaces and sustainable wadding.
Sasha Heinsaar uses deadstock, second-hand and discarded material in a collection that is based on Slavic folk tales that Heinsaar read as a child in Estonia. Knitting, crocheting, weaving and patchwork techniques are innovated by integrating folktale characters in wearable forms, all laboriously handmade.
