Tangible Fashion | Materials and Mistakes

Aalto University students Nhung Huynh and Kuutti Lemetyinen, who participated in the Social Fabric exhibition, talk about their work through various material samples. The event explores how experimentation can lead to unexpected results—and how mistakes are also part of the design process. Visitors are welcome to explore and handle the materials while the designers answer questions from the audience. The discussion is moderated by EMMA’s Head Guide, Riikka Alanko. In Finnish.

Social Fabric brings together fashion designers and contemporary artists whose work highlights social and cultural phenomena. The exhibition takes a multidisciplinary approach, featuring fashion, sculpture, and video art. The focus is on Nordic designers, some of whom are exhibiting in Finland for the first time.
