This anthology of Finnish fashion will consist of a selection of phenomena in fashion and the fashion industry from the 1950s to the present.

The exhibition asks how the development and conditions of Finnish society have been manifested in fashion – the postwar intellectual landscape, long winters, equality, the proximity of the Soviet Union, the economic boom, the technological engineering mindset, and the millennium.
