Graduation Collection HKU '04 

 

Futurism.

This collection is based on sculpture, paintings and the spirit of the Futurist movement in the 1910's. I have always been intrigued by registering movement, progress, the speed of an altering society. The Futurists had an unknown admiration for their evolving society. Their work is a chaotically organised reproduction of reality fueled with emotion. 

 

 

For this collection, I focused on perspective, positioning, unexpected elements and twisting patterns. The garments are spatial without losing focus on the body. As part of my research, I unpicked the lapel from a men's jacket and draped this on a half size doll.

 

 

The collection is based on these drapings and men's suits were an inspiration for the choice of fabrics.

my history:

Until '09, I worked in product development of sports apparel at Nike. Before I started at Nike, I lived in London where I studied Fashion Promotion & Media at London College of Fashion. I really enjoyed seeing how the fashion world works outside of the Netherlands.  

I graduated in fashion design in 2004 at HKU Utrecht, the Netherlands. I spent a year at Duperrée, a design school in Paris. After my course, I worked as an intern at the accessories department of Chloé and I helped out Irish designer Sharon Wauchob in the period prior to her S/S '04 catwalk show.
