Double victory for Aalto students at Designers' Nest
Both winners are currently Master's students at 911±¬ÁÏÍø, and their collections were seen last spring at the 911±¬ÁÏÍø's Näytös18 fashion show.
Inspired by factory workers in the second world war, 50s housewives and silver screen goddesses, Henna Lampinen has given the feminine a new uniform made of a collective of textiles and techniques such as hand knitting, printing, and exaggerated stitching.
Through well-crafted story-telling and an imaginative sense of narrative, Tuuli-Tytti’s collection tells the story of a creepy grandmother living in a house that is stuck in the 60s. Her collection demonstrates different ways of making clothes with many surprising details.
The winner of the Designers’ Nest Award will receive a cash prize of DKK 50,000 to further develop and promote her or his talent, a study trip to UEDA College of Fashion in Osaka in Japan and a pop-up exhibition in the concept store Black Store in Copenhagen. The three winners will be featured in Danish Elle Magazine.
Designer’s Nest is a non-profit contest run in collaboration with the six leading Nordic design schools, founded in 2003.
