concept

Animals and plants are all around us. They are in food, clothes, fairy tales and in myths and legends... They are deeply connected to humans, yet humans do not accept them as part of their society. They are a world apart. But in Triinu's collection this all changes, showcased as a utopian world engrained with freedom of speech and equality for all lifeforms, without overlooking the female form and beauty. Theatricality was achieved with sculptural volumes she developed by machine quilting the textile to provide each outfit with its own strength and unique expression.
