A part of the products in the collection have been dyed with new extracts from red and yellow onion peel. The extract is made by Natural Indigo Finland and it is a by-product of food production. Krista Virtanen wants to remind people to notice the beautiful things around us and how they affect our well-being. The purpose of the work is to open up and provoke a conversation on the topic: \u2018do we even think where the red color of our jacket comes from?\u2019The collection contains only mono materials (material that is 100% one material), which are much easier to recycle than mixed materials. She hasn\u00b4t used any accessories (such as zippers, buttons, etc). The sustainable aspect of the collection is an important, however without risking the visual integrity. If you\u2019re interested to collab or just need someone to make your dreams come true, don\u2019t hesitate to contact. @kristavirtanendesign. <\/span>kristavirtanendesign@gmail.com<\/span><\/a> Press Krista Virtanen.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
