Jukka Rintala - The Way of Dreams 15.6.-1.9.2024

The exhibition celebrating the extensive life's work of fashion artist Jukka Rintala is a tribute to the artist whose imprint has been visible over the decades in stunning unique costumes, industrial collections and paintings. The exhibition at the Craft Museum of Finland also celebrates the skilled seamstresses who have carried out the demanding patterns and sewing work. 

A strong line and, on the other hand, lightness are characteristic features of Jukka Rintala's work. His unique dresses are works of art, where the combination of different materials creates unique atmospheres.
