Description
During the spring of 2025, Aalto university’s Fashion, Clothing and Textile Design (FaCT) MA students completed a group design project, where each group was assigned a chair by legendary designer Yrjö Kukkapuro as a starting point for a three look collection. Each group was also tasked to construct one look from cotton, for which they received fabrics provided by DOV, an Inter-Branch Organization of Greek Cotton. The results are not only visual interpretations of Kukkapuro’s chairs, but careful investigations of the purposes of the chairs and their relationship to the human body.The seminar consists of a presentation of EU COTTON by Panos Sofianos, Cotton Expert of the EU COTTON team, and a panel discussion about the results of the project with Giorgos Kitras, representative of EU COTTON, Isa Kukkapuro-Enbom, producer and writer, and Aalto FaCT students who participated in the project. Welcoming words and moderation by Ervin Latimer, professor of practice in fashion practice at Aalto University.
The project was a part of Fashion Collection Project, an elective course in FaCT studies at Aalto, and made possible by EU COTTON, a three-year European Union-funded promotional program aimed at raising awareness about European Sustainable Cotton.
