Art Couture Fashion Show at Art Couture Clothing Store at Galleria Huuto, with the choreographer Favela Vera Ortiz

Boutique Art Couture is a concept of clothing and other "useful" objects made by visual artists, collected to a pop-up shop as an exhibition in the art context. The need for Boutique Art Couture came from a feeling that art is often not considered needed to anything in the society. Even less the artists. I curated the show first to Galleria Huuto Jätkäsaari, then to Supermarket – Stockholm Independent Art Fair, both 2014. It was shown in Gislaveds konsthall in Sweden 2015 - 2016.

Veikko Björk, Maja Breife, Marina Ciglar, Maria Duncker and Max Latva, Kaarina Haka, Eija Hakkola, Anna Heikkilä, Terhi Heino, Anja Helminen, Kati Joki, Beata Joutsen, Liisa Kanerva, Elina Katara, Karolina Kucia, Mari Leskinen, Marjo Levlin, Malgosia Markiewicz, Kasper Muttonen, Pia Männikkö, Aava Nietu, Kaarina Ormio, Mimosa Pale, Laura Pikarla and Goa Zweygbergk, Mari Prekup, Miia and Piia Rinne, Teemu Salonen, Hans-Peter Schütt, Sven-Erik Stamberg, Elina Strandberg, Eero Tiittula, Markus Tuormaa, Pauliina Turakka-Purhonen, Miila Vainio, Raita Virkkunen
