the next shoot I made as a volunteer for United Vision United vision organized this unique event, where mentally handicapped children could have a really nice day, full of events. Events like painting, games, a sleeping room, a tedy-bear room, music, photography and so on. As a part of the program we organized a photo-shoot, where the children could have there picture taken to remember this day. It was amazing to see the parent that happy about a picture. Some never see a good picture of there son or daughter.

new stuff

Well I haven't posted anything in a really long time. Shame on me.
It's not that I wasn’t doing anything. I just forgot to post. For now on I will try to keep you informed at least once a week.


I stopped the mechanical fashion collection for the time being. I already made the prototypes, when I ran into some mechanical problems. Combining this problem with another collection waiting to be produced, I decided to postpone this one


In the meantime I did;
- 4 photoshoots,
-1 exhibition,
- 1 fashionshow,
- 4 items on request,
- and started a new collection


I will bother you with some of the photoshoots I made


For a start this commision for the company WEB&EVE. In a few days we will do another shoot for the next season

Mechanic fashion

Photobucket


People are becoming part of machines. In our civilization machinery is becoming more and more important. Could we live without it? Think about the first things you do in the morning: you switch on the light, grab something to eat out of the refrigerator, and make a cup of coffee, while turning on your computer. See, in these simple actions, you use at least 4 machines. We cannot live without them.


My new collection is a reaction to this phenomenon. I took the essence of machinery: the mechanism, the gears and combined it with fashion.

Inspiration: gears, mechanism, androids, the human body, La cite des enfant perdus, clockworks, Leather, and steampunk.





These are the sketches for the first outfits:

Over mij

Mijn foto
I’m a fashion designer and photographer. I recently graduated at the Willem de Kooning academy of Arts, in the Netherlands. After my graduation I started working on my own projects. And working as a freelance photographer.

My work is about creating a new world. I archieve this by using a combination of fashion and photography. My concepts mostly are about current events, because I think art is communication. Concepts like plastic surgery, cloning and the influence of machinery. But also less major subjects like movies, mannequins, and nature.

In my commercial work, mannequins are a big part of my photography process. With these perfect people I create an artificial world. Artificiality is also a big part of my work. In my opinion everything we create is artificial.

In my fashion I like to experiment with textiles and silhouetes. Clothing is art wich defines or deformes the human body. I do not only use textiles in my clothing but also other materials, like polyester, rubber, acryl and glass.
