Borrowing its name from theEstonian title for Chekhov’s novel “Let Me Sleep”, the conceptual collection “Longing for Sleep” is about the haunting wish to sleep during dark wintery times, kaamos. Kaamos is an untranslatable word only known in Estonian and Finnish languages, referring to the period in the Northern Hemispherewhen the days are very short and it barely gets light outside. To materialize the feeling of a wish to stay in bed wrapped in a blanket all day long, Marit Ilison has created a collection using vintage Soviet wool blankets.

The silently speaking Black Heart collection started form my personal habits and wish to spread love. I used to end my written notes with heart sign and when e-mail came, I added it to the end of my letters. Then I designed my own heart shape and it somehow materialised in the form of stickers. And then I wanted to
have a sweatshirt with a big heart.
I’m pretty introverted and I don’t wear slogans or labels, but this heart just felt comfortable and silently speaking. And I just love the idea that with every heart beat love is multiplied and spread to the world!– Marit Ilison
