Alex Luonto 

The Blueprint

21.5. – 30.5.2026

 The Blueprint fashion exhibition presents key works that have been the most influential in Alex Luonto’s career during the years 2016-2026. The exhibition acts as a celebration of these selected works that have played the part of being a blueprint in it. Works presented in the exhibition have served either an influential or important role in the artistic direction and growth. The selected works have been presented utilizing the gallery space allowing the viewer to take a closer look at the ensembles, garments and objects. Materials, constructions, sewing, and small details are on display here. By showcasing fashion as equal to other fields of art Luonto hopes to set an example for peers, colleagues and lovers of fashion (and art!).
