A close inspection of the costume pieces reveals many fascinating details, such as the stunning quality of the wool and linen fabrics, delicate hand painted chintz motives (one of my current obsessions!) and innumerable stitches 🧵on a bright yellow petticoat. I am touched by the high level of craft of these unknown makers. It is possible to find avant garde in tradition, as long as you have an eye 👁️ for it.

Save the date! As the Head of Apparel Design @risd

Save the date! As the Head of Apparel Design @risdapparel at RISD, I’m very pleased to announce 📣 that the Collection 25 runway show will happen on May 28th at the WaterFire Arts Center @waterfireartscenter in Providence. Come to the show, it will be sensational!!! ✨

In recent years I have been increasingly intereste

In recent years I have been increasingly interested in embroidery 🧵 and have started to fabricate my own collection of experimental pieces. While visiting Jankees Goud @jankees.goud - who collects Dutch traditional dress - I was struck by the inventiveness of the Axelse streekdracht. The costume is composed of a kraplap underpiece, embellished in the back and front in all different variations. Sometimes resembling a small stomacher, it is an ornamental collage made of beads, sequins, gold purl, buttons, chenille threads, tassels, trimmings and other junk. The costume was only complete with a scarf folded and shaped over a large piece of paper (blinking here to my RISD students) and pinned in place to give the silhouette dramatic high shoulders. Truly Viktor&Rolf avant l’heure!

Still in shock of being able to see and manipulate

Still in shock of being able to see and manipulate so many great pieces at CollectieCentrum Nederland, such as the stunning hand painted chintz jackets from Hindeloopen. Nogmaals bedankt aan @jaccohooikammer for deze visite van de leukste kledingkast van Nederland!
