Sofia Hedvig Regina Järnefelt, born in Espoo, Finland in 1982.
Graduated as BA in Fashion in December 2008 and currently studying her MA at the University of Art and Design Helsinki.
Sofia has in her previous collections worked with the idea of shame and at the same time pride, blame and forgiveness,
with
anarchy within high class society as part of the difficult and contradictory relation to ones own roots.
Working with both
clothing collections as well as accessories and art in different forms is a way of concluding a complete idea about
a way of
looking at the world and the people in it. Yet, the result always comes out as something commercially adaptable.
“…don’t underestimate your audience.” – David Lynch
The works are not supposed to serve a conclusion on a plate or underline a specific theme nor an idea, but to give hints about
how the world can be seen.
