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.

Krista Virtanen Design is an art- and research-driven fashion brand grounded in sustainability, material experimentation, and creative freedom.<\/h6>
Sustainability is the foundation of everything we do, but art and joy<\/strong> are equally important. Art and creativity should be fun, playful, and emotionally engaging.<\/h6>
The brand is guided by transformation, change, transparency, circularity, and longevity in design<\/strong>. Art has always been close to Krista\u2019s heart, and she believes art belongs to everyone. Clothing can be both functional and artistic<\/strong> \u2014 something you can wear in everyday life or place on the wall as an artwork.<\/h6>
Krista\u2019s work explores future biomaterials, regenerative design, and feminist perspectives<\/strong> through hands-on, material-driven processes. One example of this practice is her graduating collection Grey Market<\/strong>, which transformed experimental biomaterials into wearable forms.<\/h6>
Krista Virtanen Design\u2019s 2021 collection \u201cHaze from Food Waste\u201d<\/strong> explored new bio-based textile dyes made from by-products of the food industry.\u00a0<\/h6>
As a designer, Krista focuses on the entire lifecycle of textiles<\/strong>, designing garments from the very beginning with their full lifespan in mind \u2014 until their last day of use. She seeks solutions for clothing that can change over time and offer the wearer something new again and again.<\/h6>
In June 2019, Krista presented her first knitwear collection in the finals of the Feel The Yarn<\/strong> competition in Italy.<\/h6>
If you\u2019re interested in a collaboration \u2014 or need someone to help turn ideas into reality, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch.<\/h6>
