Nienke Creemers is a researcher, designer and writer living in London, United Kingdom. Specialising in ethics within the fashion industry, Nienke focuses on future developments within a global design context. She is endlessly intrigued by the way society takes shape, alters its outlines and eventually morphs into a different construct.

At this time, Nienke writes about trends, sustainable development and upcoming brands for FARFETCH's Dutch Fashion Feed and takes part in the Design Futures Initiative's inquiry about design policy, where she is leading the research on designing policy for the fashion industry.
