Fashion & Textile Forum in Helsinki 2023. #Marimekko might not be the biggest company out there, but being thoughtful, creative, and committed to #innovation, they do some very interesting things for the Finnish market. A few points from Tiina Alahuhta-Kasko, CEO & President of Marimekko, presentation at the Forum that were interesting to me personally: 1. Marimekko is the first company to have #love in its strategy (SCALE, which stands for Sustainability, Creative vision, (expansion to) Asia, Love and End-to-end digitality). Indeed, fashion, textiles, and lifestyle goods are part of the experience economy, where #emotions and #feelings matter. 2. The importance of #collaboration. For instance, Marimekko pilots close-loop production with Rester, collaborates on new materials with Spinnova, and experiments with natural dyes, among other things that contribute to sustainability. 3. This is very exciting: Marimekko has a pilot for #repairing and introducing #care products. Looking forward to see how this is going to work! #stjm #fashion #finnishfashion #textiles #marimekko #repair #care #sustainability #strategy
