Functional and technical clothing is often made of oil-based, synthetic materials that can be harmful to nature and difficult to recycle.<\/p>\n

In her master thesis, Matilda Tuure<\/strong>, a recent graduate from Aalto\u2019s MA programme Fashion, Collection and Textile Design<\/a>, explored new dimensions for non-toxic and hydrophobic finishings for textiles used in outdoor sports.\u00a0The high toxin levels in fabric finishings is a well-known problem but has not been studied very much.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” centered_text=”true” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”3″][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”3909,3906,3908,3907″ onclick=”link_image” img_size=”600×400″][vc_column_text]\n

I used new waterproof coating developed by the School\u00a0of Chemical Engineering in Department of Bioproduct and Biosystems<\/a> at Aalto University. In collaboration with researchers we improved the coating for textiles and I experimented combining it with natural, non-toxic fabric dyes.”<\/p>\n

The end result is a delicate collection of 4 outdoor anoraks produced at Aalto University and knitwear in collaboration with Santoni Shanghai<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]”My design was framed by my strong vision of sustainability. Therefore, I had to pay attention to every tiny detail in my design. Sustainable and eco-friendly material choices are complex, and a multi-dimensional issue where the impact of raw material, production, dyeing and finishing are combined.<\/p>\n

Everything starts with the material. I wanted to use plant-based yarns without any treatment or coloring to make as environmental friendly garments as possible.\u00a0The way the raw natural yarn really feels makes a difference compared to synthetic material; it has its own characteristics. In the final garment you can find tiny pieces of grass and even smell the original scent of the plant. ” -Matilda[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”20″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]
