The models presented Ilme Kossesson’s linen dresses, inspired by Muhu design
and decorated using a knitting machine, together with Aili Järvesaar's Muhu-
themed crocheted vests.
"Knitted Stripes of Viru County” by Kersti Loite uses fragments of stripes from a skirt
from Jõhvi parish, knitted into different parts of modern apparel as folded patches. The
designer has made seven suits consisting of overcoats, skirts, jackets, vests and a tunic.
The master of
ceremony, Kristjan
Lüüs – a first-year
theatre student at the
Culture Academy –
wore the national
dress of the Tarvastu
area, made by Kersti
Roosmaa.
Triin Amur presented a collection of women’s clothes that was inspired by the
national dress of Vormsi women and made of recycled material. The designer used
fabric leftovers and textiles from secondhand shops for the clothes.
Maaja Kalle's collection included colorful dresses and skirts for children with designs
from the islands of Western Estonia. Although such skirts were originally woven at
Saaremaa from woolen yarn, using looms, Kalle used knitting needles and cotton.
Karolina Lehtma and Liisi-Ly Viitkin had a joint collection inspired by jackets from
Sõrve. The modern collection that included jackets and overcoats for both men and
women made many in the audience woo and desire the clothes they saw on the stage.
Gerly Karu's collection
included open pockets
attached to the sides of
scarves. According to the
author, there's no great
interest in belt
pockets, hence the idea to
put the pockets needed to
carry stuff in the sides of
scarves, as the latter
happen to be hot items.
The winter scarves were
made of drugget; those for
the spring season were
made of wool.
Kersti Pook’s graduation work consisted of four urban-style jackets from Põltsamaa
and Kolga-Jaani parishes, accompanied by suitably striped skirts. The jackets are
made of modern materials and decorated with colourful ribbons and lace.
Külli Vähi had re-created
the clothing of Ruhnu men
from the beginning of the
20th century. The order
came from the Rannarootsi
Museum. The collection is
going to comprise a
uniform for the captain of a
Ruhnu-type ship. The
buttons for the shirt had to
be made of silver, so that if
the seaman drowned and
washed up on a foreign
shore there'd be
something to cover the
costs for his funeral.
This collection of children's clothing by Janne Vaabla is based on the ethnographic
style of mainland Estonian children’s clothing. The girls were wearing national shirts
made of linen. Trench coats, denim sweaters and breeches were also presented.
Iriina Rei’s graduation work consisted of woolen knitted leggings that wouldn't
look out of place today. The embroidery was inspired by the flowery designs of
Muhu from the first part of the 20th century, distinguished by stylised plant
figures.
Models in black-and-white
costumes presented
knitted gloves by Liivi Vain
while making fluid dance
moves with their hands.
Vainu was inspired by bird
and fir motifs from
Lihula, as well as cross
signs, believed to grant
protection.
