Jessica Joyce

Jessica Joyce is renowned for her sophisticated but distinctive designs; The smooth, sleek flows of her pieces are as visually stunning to see as they are to wear. Comfort meets fashion at Jessica Joyce. Wrap yourself in styles that will make you feel cool inside and look feminine outside.

Denise Esser

Denise Esser graduated in 2009 at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Her graduation portfolio is here to admire. This fashion week she amazed us with her “Future Perfect” Designs. In her collection Denise used the transformations between hard and soft and impressed the audience with her sculptured almost sci-fi looks.

And Beyond

And Beyond of designers Jolanda van den Broek and Brigitte Hendrix communicates through shape and printdesign. The collections are a reflection on the ‘zeitgeist’. A remarkable aspect is the immer present rough edge in an ‘unheimliches’ and allienated reality. The avangardistic And Beyond reacts on the present time and uses fashion as their medium to evoke emotion.

Mada van Gaans

The collections of Mada van Gaans are often inspired by an idyllic world and myths around female figures. Elements out of nature and influences from traditional craftsmanship from other cultures are important to her. Her designs are feminine, young, elegant, chique, fluid, detailed and made with refined fabrics. Mada’s fascination for nature roots from Wapserveen, a countryside village in Drenthe where she grew up between fields and forests.

NŌN BY KIM

NŌN by KIM redefines the wardrobe from a no nōnsense, post-modern perspective. Her designs are constructed from a combination of her fascinations. Fueled by a love for abstraction, the daily beauty in details, listing to structured chaotic sound and watching slow stories unfold, she starts to deconstruct patterns. Mutating them into garments, together they form a new layered silhouette defined by fine body conscious materials and a moderate use of colours.

Claudia Sträter
