NÄYTÖS21 AWARD
Winner: Jenny Hytönen (BA)

An international jury has decided upon the winner of the Näytös 21 Award.

The members of the jury were:
Tamara Rothstein, London based Stylist
Heikki Salonen, Creative Director MM6 Maison Margiela
Kaisa Kinnunen, Studio Show Manager Celine

Statement of the jury: This work has truly impressed us. It’s material choices are well balanced between heavy, even rough materials and more delicate see-through meshes, all of which manipulated beautifully, emphasizing their characters. The silhouette is strong with attitude, simultaneously seemingly aggressive and yet poetic. The work is very mature and seems personal. We are all really looking forward to seeing and following the designer’s next steps.
