Dear Shaded Viewers,

One of the highlights during my Helsinki trip was the show put together by the students of Aalto University. Expecting something minimal and austere, I was surprised with the amount of color, print, geometry and textures I saw that evening. Fabric development and textile research were key, as well as a youthful and carefree spirit, which reminded me of 90s House Music.
