BRANKOPOPOVICBLOG: Artez Graduation Show 2018

Emma Wessel

Artez Graduation Show 2018 took place at Musis in Arnhem. The space, with its very and hard to beat own ambiemance, was successfully transformed by Maison the Faux's fresh art direction set design, giving the whole show more edge.

The show combined both BA and Master graduation. In addition, Collectie Arnhem 2018, the third year collaborative project was presented. The overall smooth show opened with first year outfits, followed by promising second year project Luxury Galore.

The four master students appeared in between sixteen BA collections. Emma Wessel's quirky show, an eyewear collection presented on giant head prints wearing the glasses, stood out.
The MA collections from Manon Gondek and Gala Borović contained beautiful textiles and material combinations.
The BA collections varied in consistency, nevertheless the strong signature of Artez was apparent throughout the line up, showing their playful material manipulation and textile craftmanship. Among the favourites where collections by Mehdi Mashayekhi, Maria van Steenoven, Dennis Schreuder, Alicia Minnaard, Anna Bernal and Douwe de Boer.
