The world deeply appreciates the quality of Finnish illustration.
Thanks to Agent Pekka and Napa illustration, more and more new Finnish
talent and names have been seen lately in international context and
interviewed by international mags. Maximum visibility.
In Finnish architecture 'born in 1970s' winds are blowing. New wave. Project Newly Drawn
presents 9 credit winning offices in form of a mini seminar, an exhibition
and a book. The book was released last week with a proper festivity in
Artek.
What about newly drawn Finnish Fashion? So much great stuff drawn
lately in that field as well! Helsinki Fashion Week? Not in a million
years! Any books out now? Events? Promotion? In public debate there has
been seen headlines such as 'Textile revolution' and 'Young designers can
save Finland' something they think could even replace traditional
forestry in future.
Compared to that, I think there is (and should be!) a way to find a
whole punch of support for Young Finnish fashion designers somewhere in
creative industries structures – ministries and different trade unions.
