Maifashiontales blogsite presents
happy, sustainable, body honouring and empowering Mai Niemi fashion and dives into the
fashion phenomena deeper than surface.
It offers ideas to dress and to express oneself individually and in a multilevel way.
In 2012 I celebrate my 25th Anniversary as a fashion artist. This blog is part of the celebrations.
It also as a voice of a Finnish Designer during the Helsinki World Design Capitol year 2012.
It works as an initaiator
of change by opening new aspects in fashion,
as New Earth Era Fashion

Maifashiontales blogisivusto esittelee iloista, kehoa
kunnioittavaa, kestävää ja voimaannuttavaa muotia ja raapaisee
muoti-ilmiöitä pintaa syvemmältä.
Se tarjoaa ideoita luovaan, yksilölliseen ja monitasoiseen pukeutumisilmaisuun.
2012 vietän 25-vuotis taiteilijajuhlaani ja juhlistan sitä kanssanne mm. tässä blogissani.
Koska 2012 on myös World Design Capitol juhlavuosi, blogi palvelee myös designerin äänenä.

Kalevala Poem
by
Mai Niemi
The
time brought the new form,
water
found a fresh flowing
to
the people of the wind,
to
the ladies of the lakes
to
dress the folk of the forests,
To
adorn the fairies of the nature.
Lively
and feminine, to function anywhere,
on
any form of goddess or queen,
and
wellbeing of the beloved body.
What
a magic garment:
loosens
off the box,
frees
to the flowing,
gives
Goddess´s power
to
the women of of Kalevala,
to
the daughters of Gaia.
So
knitted, so crocheted, wove in the arts
worked
in fengshui harmony
and
the ancient wisdom,
to
one size gathered the large and the small,
the
tall and the tiny.
Knitted
now is Kalevala,
woven
the great tale,
Changed
the old patterns,
opened
the tightened knots
To
begin the new day,
to
start the new morning,
so
that the the roots and the myths
of
the Grail and great nation
would
not be forgotten
nor
the skill of Sampo forging.
