Surrounded by the Italian landscape, the concept for the new collection was born. Developed in collaboration with a rich and diverse palette of inspiring partners who share the vision to strengthen each other. With the collection, the designer draws attention to the prevention of waste in the textile industry. In addition to handmade Dutch design heritage, innovative textile manipulations such as threedimensional embroidery techniques, organic quilted shapes and the casting of 3D ornaments from our cutting waste with circular bioplastic are used. This collection aims to share knowledge, collaborate and creatively expand the traditional fashion industry.
