BRANKOPOPOVICBLOG: ArtEZ Graduation Show 2015

Joanne Vosloo

For more than 60 years, the ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem has been delivering successful fashion designers.
Viktor & Rolf, Jan Taminiau, Iris van Herpen, Bas Kosters, Liselore Frowijn and many more.
ArtEZ Graduation Show 2015 was no exception, with their 21 graduate collections there was plenty of excitement to experience. Clearly the ArtEZ students don't fear to experiment with patterns and to apply material manipulations that lead to innovation.
The show kicked off with fashion film presentation of 1st and 2nd year students and Fashion and The Sea project. Collectie Arnhem, by 3rd year students
was the first show to see on the runway. But eventually it is all about the graduate collection with strong proposals by Isabelle Tellié, Diek Pothoven, Joanne Vosloo, Yvette Peek, Marieke van de Ven, Madelène van Ulden, Josephine Goverts and Max Zara Sterck.

Five designers are finalists for the Frans Molenaar Award 2015: Lilian Admiraal, Josephine Goverts, Max Zara Sterck, Tung Trinh and Maartje Janse.
Also nominated for the Frans Molenaar are the two ArtEZ Fashion Master graduates Sunanda Koning and Simeon Morris. The last name, Simeo Morris, is showing at 7th edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival (June 11-14).

The two ArtEZ representatives for the Lichting 2015 supported by V&D award are Isabelle Tellié and Yvette Peek.
Lichting 2015 show takes place during Amsterdam Fashion Week on 10th of July.

If you still want to see the work of the graduates you can visit their graduation exhibition from Juy 1-5 at the former ABN AMRO building (Gele Rijdersplein in Arnhem).
