ArtEZ Fashion Show 2019

On June 7th, ArtEZ, as the first in line of the graduation fashion shows in The Netherlands, presented their Class of 2019 at Musis in Arnhem. The space, with its very and hard to beat own ambiemance, was successfully brought back to the essence by Studio Dennis Vanderbroeck.
The show featured first and second year experiments.  In addition, Collectie Arnhem 2019, the third year collaborative project was presented.
The quality of the mostly raw proposals in the Collectie Arnhem was generally lacking in the graduation collections. Undoubtedly committed and with the best of intentions, the new generation presented itself to the world. It was a show with varying levels, leaving the room with an unanswered quest to know more about the stories behind the work. Often strong in material research and application and not always strong in form and consistency of the collection line up. However, there was enough talent to be enthralled. Especially enjoyed the proposals of Dylan Westerweel, Michelle Vossen, Django Tetteroo, Kevin Pleiter, Manon Romeijn, Joline Kwakkenbos, Nina Librud and here and there individual pieces.

Nenukko Spring Summer 2014

NENUKKO clothing brand style is dedicated to individualists, referes to the unisexual simplicity and results from a creative attitude towards design. The authors' main purpose is the visual inventiveness and reaching beyond the classical stylistic conventions. In this way, fashion is understood as a multithreaded process of change, in which the authors inlude themselves preserving their own artistic vision.

The spring summer 2014 collection 'Quit' is a result of the revision of the designer's creative method.
 "The similiar has vanished somewhere, hidden in the corners from what was not just 'simply different', but totally opposite, impossible to reconcile, or even mutially exclusive."(D.Maslowska, "Kochanie, zbilam nasze koty", Noir sur Blanc, 2012)
