ITE-muoti: Self-Taught Fashion
"During this past spring, Kuukausiliite (the monthly paper supplement within the Helsingin Sanomat), along with the Union of Rural Education and Culture and Helsinki Design Week, began to collect Finnish ITE-muoti (Self-Taught Fashion) – fashion designed and made by Finns. The criteria was measured by novelty value, creativity and inventiveness. There was no age limit or a requirement for education in the field of design.
The works were evaluated by a panel that included Kari Korkman, the Director of Helsinki Design Week, Liisa Heikkilä-Palo, the Director of Cultural Affairs from the Union of Rural Education and Culture, Noora Niinikoski, a stylist and Marimekko designer, Sanna Tuominen, Product Manager from Kuukausiliite and Liisa Jokinen, a Kuukausiliite contributor and freelance reporter.
Forty-five of the most unique fashion pieces made it through to a qualifying round, and from there a further cull was made to select the cream of the crop, which will be displayed during Helsinki Design Week at the Cable Factory’s Merikaapelihalli. Those deemed to be the best pieces were also styled for a fashion article published in the August edition of Kuukausiliite."
I read the article on Kuukausiliite and am very ambitious to see the creative solutions of ITE-fashion!
Brainport Design For Happy LivingCable Factory
"The Dutch Brainport Design display for the Happy Living exhibition brings together a cross-section of creations from our sister design city, Eindhoven, to the Cable Factory.
Brainport combines conceptual and industrial design, whilst emphasizing the significance of the products themselves. The 12 Brainport concepts will include Kiki van Eijk’s Soft Series which tempts the sense of touch, Bobike’s bicycle saddle which is clearly made for everyday use, and finally, Soundsteps, which offers an alternative to children’s computer games. Brainport raises an important question − whose job is it to make the city happy? See more: http://www.designconnectionbrainport.nl/"
Eindhoven was the competiting city for World Design Capital 2012, and a rumour says that the famous trend guru Li Edelkoort was her share on the campaign of Eindhoven. I'm very eager to see design news from the design city of Neatherlands!
FreeDOM OF CreATION’S 10-YeAr ANNIVerSArY exHIBITIONCable Factory
"Design company Freedom of Creation is celebrating its 10th year in business. FOC is a pioneer in the use of 3D printing technology in the design industry. Janne Kyttänen and his team create computer models that can then go into production anywhere in the world.
FOC’s 3D design has produced lamps, furniture, interior decoration solutions, iPhone cases and pretty much everything else we see have seen in 3D.
FOC’s exhibition at the Cable Factory will not only be a 10-year retrospective of the company, but also a look back at the entire history of 3D technology. See more: http://www.freedomofcreation.com/"
If it's been there for 10 years it's not a novelty anymore, but I want to learn about the technique and see what kind of products they have accomplished using it!
Tales about European Fashion and design Cable Factory, Merikaapelihalli (auditorium) Wed 1/9 at 13.00 - 17.00
"Where are the roots of European fashion and design? Where are new ideas generated and how do they expand? How can Europe profit from its rich cultural heritage when creating stronger economic well-being?
"Tales about European fashion and design" is a seminar arranged by the European Cultural Foundation Network of Finland. Speakers from Finland and abroad are called on to analyse the context of European fashion and design from historical and present viewpoints."
I'm so there!
HÄ? — Finnish-Chinese visual dictionaryCable Factory
"First there is confusion, which is followed by understanding. In each image of the HÄ? — Finnish-Chinese visual dictionary, something Finnish is combined with the equivalent Chinese character. The name HÄ? — a Finnish expression of amazement — reflects the theme.
Kasino Creative Studio’s HÄ? is influenced by old Chinese visual dictionaries in which language is taught to children with drawings. The simple execution of the imagery opens up big, relevant themes, such as education and understanding foreign cultures. The visual dictionary is a way of presenting both Finnish and Chinese culture in a way that crosses cultural and lingual barriers.
The visual dictionary is created by the internationally awarded Kasino Creative Studio in association with Shanghai-based artist Pan Jianfeng, who designed the Chinese characters. Kasino Creative Studio's team consists of creative director Pekka Toivonen, scriptwriter Tero Kartastenpää, photographer Jussi Puikkonen and editor Jonathan Mander. The HÄ? — Finnish-Chinese visual dictionary is produced as part of the Finland at the World Expo 2010 Shanghai project and supported by Finpro and Music Export Finland."
This sounds so interesting that I have to find out more..!
The End Of The Story: FutureCable Factory
"The End Of The Story: Future event gathers together young artists of the future who are not yet part of the established structures. The event, produced by Helsinki Design Week, was created so that new talents could showcase their skills and become involved in dialog with other designers as well as the general public.
Among the invited artists are graphic designer Sakke Soini, fashion designer Kirsi Nisonen, photographer Kirmo Ekholm and Gorilla Magazine from the field of publication design. The participants were asked to display a product or previous work which represents Helsinki Design Week’s theme of storytelling.The product display can also utilize the exhibition technology of the Cable Factory’s Merikaapelihalli."
I admire Kirsi Nisonen's style, that's why I want to see this! Ok, also because I'm always interested in future visions, too.
