The urban summer event Lasipalatsi Design Markets & Fashion Film Festival brings fresh design, fashionable movies and summery vibes in the middle of Helsinki for five days in the beginning of August 1-5, 2012.

Organised for the fourth time, Lasipalatsi Design Markets hosts 38 brands which are represented by interesting up-and-coming designers at the Lasipalatsi square. Their unique pieces – clothes, accessories, jewellery and homeware are all for sale during the event.

 The project is grounded in a unique visual interpretation of animal anatomy, building upon existing skeleton structures to create a series of sculptural pieces that appear as natural properties of the human body, suggesting strength, power and sensuality. Concepts of mutation and evolution are explored in order to develop a contemporary cross-image of human and animal, an atemporal, supreme creature, beyond past and future.

The goal was to fabricate a collection of 8 pieces of personal adornment that would not be specifically categorised as jewellery or accessories. The idea was to step out of the traditional jewellery/accessories context in order to develop a ‘new breed’ of precious objects that can be exhibited both separately on their own and fully attached to the human body.

The pieces perform a double function: they exist as fashion objects attached to the wearer, as well as separate art works, exhibited in gallery spaces.
Because of this dual quality they can be considered fashion artefacts in the true sense: objects of desire, rather than just mere adornments.
