Outi Karikivi

Outi Karikivi creates clothes combining natural and second-hand materials, using strong colours from an old period property in Porvoo, Finland. She dyes the silk, linen and lace herself. The clothes she has made for this are from dyed, old damast tablecloths (men’s shirts) and wrist warmers from recycled t-shirts.  She also combines second-hand materials with Finnish lamb’s wool, silk chiffon and/or linen, using old lace curtains and sheets from grandmother’s cottage. She makes clothe with respect for handicraft traditions and the individuality of the wearer.
