KOE Fashion Show is an annual event that showcases the incredible talent and creativity of young designers from the LAB Institute of Design and Fine Arts. The show presents the graduate collections of twelve designers, each with their own distinct vision and innovative approach to fashion. The runway collections at KOE23 are a captivating blend of conceptual and conscious design, featuring new perspectives on traditional handcraft techniques.

The event also highlights the Zero Waste looks and concept collections created by second and third-year students. One standout designer, Hilma Heinonen, explores the theme of vulnerability and psychological pain in her collection Peittelen mut, which challenges societal norms and embraces uniqueness through draping and innovative design methods. Another talented designer, Hanna Vuorela, redefines the boundaries of fashion by sculpting shapes and questioning the traditional definition of garments.

Her collection aims to elevate clothing as design pieces rather than disposable items. KOE Fashion Show provides a platform to showcase the work of creative and responsible designers who are shaping the future of fashion
