Arts with benefits
Master collection 2019
During my studies at the fashion academy in Antwerp, I was interested in the grey zone between fashion and art.
Is fashion art? Not necessarily looking for a readymade answer, I aimed to create silhouettes in which fashion and visual art meet. Working closely together with visual artists sounded fascinating to me, so I asked artist duo Flexboj & L.A. to join me in this project. They paint, make installations and are the founders of Superstars Magazine.
Honoring the history of painting, we created woven, knitted, and drawn prints, using a visual language that borders parody.
