Projects
  • The Bad & The Beautiful
    The Bad & The BeautifulInspired by a series of femmes fatales, from the classic killers of the twenties to the badass eighties girl. Elements of lingerie were incorporated as well as clashes of oversized prints. Black and white collide with punchy colours in addition to using textured materials with hand-made manipulations. Playing with transparency in a sensual yet subdued manner. Eclectic graphics with a refined feel. Photography by Lucile Dizier Models Lore + Elise MUA Ina Libbrecht
  • Fulmine
    FulmineThe story of a girl on a journey of self-exploration. Naïeveté which grows into awareness and strength. The power of innocence. Stimulating the senses with colour and touch. A representation of soft decay. A lightness of being, a rainbow of emotions. Focus on hand-dyed and pleated textiles, mixed with lasercut technology. Photographer Imke Panhuijzen Models Pien + Carlijn MUA Charlotte van Beusekom
  • Dis/Figure
    Dis/FigureDisfiguration of the human body, an exploration of the organic form. Fleshy tones, lamb skin leather enriched with topstitching, experimentation with curious textures. Alien shapes enhance the hips and shoulders, while tight belts accentuate the hourglass silhouette. Embroidered face masks give the total look an uncomfortable feel.
