JOAKIM OJANEN
FOR BOTH THE SPRING AND SUMMER 2019 COLLECTIONS, AALTO COLLABORATED WITH SWEDISH ARTIST JOAKIM OJANEN TO CREATE A SET OF UNIQUE, COLOURFUL PATTERNS.
HIS CHILDISH AND DISTURBING CREATURES SHOW POP CULTURE INSPIRATIONS. HIS WORK DOESN'T FOLLOW ANY CLEARLY STATED NARRATIVE, YET IT PERFECTLY FITS THE EMOTION OF THE AALTO '999'-COLLECTION –IT IS FRESH, BUT WITH A GREAT DEAL OF WEIRDNESS, WHICH WE ALWAYS SEEK.
