Only her Tasaraita tricot-collection for Marimekko, that reflects the liberty of thought and thinking in the fashion-design of the sixties, granted her a position among the really important fashion designers of the late 20th century.

For the past 100 years ethnographers and historians have assembled an archival system of folk crafts that show awareness, value and pride in the uniquely Romanian folk traditions. This catalog research began with the purpose to bring enough fine examples together for an exhibition which would both please the curious and satisfy the folk craft expert.
