The top: a simplified drawing of a cornflower, a common Polish decorative folk motif.
The trousers: a drawing of a chestnut leaf; a motif which evokes the drawings of Stanisław Wyspiański, suggestive of a Polish hankering after an old-fashioned aesthetic.

The top and trousers: the dominant blue colour refers to the abundance of

lakes in Finland as well as Finland’s marine location. The simple black-

and-white stitch motif brings to mind a winter landscape and a sparsely

populated country.
