tampere filharmonia x emmi kallio

An artwear collection made together with Tampere Filharmonia and artist Emmi Kallio. This collection is celebrating the 95-year old Tampere Philharmonic Orchesta. You may have noticed that here in Tampere we do things differently. There's a magnificent connection between fashion, music and art. We don't build walls between different culture fields, we come together and the sky is our limit.

Musicians

All the models in the collection photos are musicians from the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra. It was clear to use musicians as the models and their second home, the stage and behind the scenes of Tampere Talo, as the set. We had a blast! If they ever retire from the music business, they should consider diving into modeling business.

Emmi kallio

In the very first steps of the collaboration we instantly thought of Emmi as the artist. We've known her for years and years and we've always admired her ability to express the brightest to darkest of emotions through the masterful use of colour and powerful brush strokes. She's also big fan of classical music and Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra. In the video above you can see Emmi painting in the top of Pispalan Harju like the conductor of paint on blanc canvas in sync with the orchestra.

the collection

According to our design philosophy and joint values the whole collection is done sustainably in Europe from organic cotton for all human beings regardless of gender, age and size.
