Vallila x Ervin Latimer
What
Vallila Interior is a leading Finnish brand of contemporary printed fabrics, rugs and home accessories. Vallila needed to reach out to new client segments and their new sustainability strategy needed visual and loud actions to strengthen their brand.
How
We created a new 2ndCycle concept for Vallila. Vallila 2ndCycle grants a new life for old curtains and fabrics in collaborative projects together with young designers and artists. The Young Designer of the Year 2020, Finnish-American fashion designer Ervin Latimer, initiated the 2ndCycle concept. Ervin Latimer's collection comprises a numbered series of unisex work jackets, trousers and bags made from surplus fabrics designed by the 92-year-old African-Amercan Howard Smith for Vallila in 1960´s and 1970´s. Campaign pictures were shot by Chris Vidal Tenomaa featuring model Zakarie Ali from Jasmin Islamovic Agency
