‘TRADIGITAL’
COVID19 ladies and gentlemen, is a development which digitized business meetings forever. The physical contact while working has been pushed aside and has made way for new digital connections. Here I present you my green screen collection inspired on traditional 1950’s feminine business wear.
This collection responds to the digitalization of business meetings and is wearable when you are digitally connected to others (via Zoom, Teams and so on). The physical neon green products offer a digital variation where you can choose your own color, print or texture to project on your garment. This way you can wear the same garment every day, but the color can variate digitally.
All three of the designs are inspired by the old fashioned traditional feminine business wear and are based on core garments within a women’s closet over the years. Accent is placed on the waist and silhouettes are feminine and aligned to the body. These are translated into modern business wear.
The products from this collection are combined with a service. A monthly subscription. Each month releases a drop of colors and prints for the coming month. This way you can wear fashionable prints, colors or textures on the same physical garment.

Minimalism collaborates with functionality
“on the move, since 2021” is a unisex collection for the urban millennials. The three garments perform in one outfit for all conditions in motion. The slick and smart design is multifunctional to bring your everyday belongings.
For my project, I was inspired by outdoor wear and its high performance. Based in Amsterdam and cycling every day I realized that the performance of closing on the bike and its functionality for everyday very low. With my collection, I wanted to change that and improve every day on the move.
My target group the urban millennials
„I believe in the freedom of having less.„
Within this collection, I challenge fashion towards a more functional and innovative approach to improve the daily life on the move. My research showed me that the urban millennials bring approximately 12items. All these 12 items will find their perfect spot within my collection.
My collection contains 3 garments each of them with integrated functionality: A vest a jacket and a rain overall. They can perform in one outfit or in a different combination suiting the daily weather conditions. You can wear the garments through all seasons. The Vest functions as a base layer with a back pocket that can be transformed into a backpack. The jacket has two attachable front pockets which can be rolled up into shopping bags for your everyday groceries. In the back, you have an integrated back pocket to store your rain overall which you will always have with you. The rain overall will keep you dry while cycling in the rain. With the zippers on the side, you are quickly dressed up and protected from the rain however you are still free in moving.
Enjoy cycling with my long-lasting garments for all conditions and smart storage.

1/
(CONCEPT IN SHORT)
A uni/form adapted for transformation.
To be applied at any encounter of reconnaissance.
By any means necessary.
2/
(PROOF OF CONCEPT)
The end deliverables/products of my 3D Hypercraft takes shape via a digital arrangement of two prototypical outfits which are then separated into two narratives; Metropolitan & on-shore. The total output results in four looks which intend to showcase the journey of a body/object.
Utilising the digital resources, a variation of fabric & print renders have been applied across the digital range to conceptually showcase the intentions behind form, function & urban protection.
Alongside these core designs there’ll be a physical proof-of-concept which tests the multi-wearability & garment pattern construction. Cut on military-grade ripstop nylon parachute fabric (moss green, ripstop texture, no print) which allows for a sustainable make approach via up-cycling.
The total output of this collection includes four products realised in the digital realm.
Physical products allow for a visual sequence to be shot & styled on location (rural terrain setting), whereas the digital creation is a pure technical exploration of garment construction & finishing.

As a result of overlooking problems with the AI found in our daily lives, I envisioned a future wherein a humanoid AI race exists, and try to relate to their predecessors (humans). With their newfound consciousness, playing around with deconstructed transformable clothes is their step towards a new self identity.

RE.SHAPED is a circular collection inspired by GEN Z. Because of social media this generation do not feel that comfortable with themselves, nowadays. They get used to the online perfect picture and are losing themselves. Beside that they forget to define their offline selves. But generation Z do not forget about the world. They are aware of how the world is changing and want to contribute to create a better environment.
Comfort and circularity are two elements which are characteristic for me of GEN Z and I want to make clothes which contains these two elements. By creating comfortable clothes I want to give back some comfort. Beside that I want to be sustainable by making circular garments through recycling old clothes.
The collection is based on the deconstruction of existing formal clothes. These are taken out of function and reformed into 100% recycled sophisticated tracksuits.
Beside my inspiration of GEN Z, I am creating a sort of system. You can bring your old garments, which will be deconstructed and reformed and at the end you get new ones back, without buying really new clothes. You can do this again and again and again.
This is circularity, this is what you call RE.SHAPED.

Evolved tradition
The more we approach the future, the more we long for traditional values. The extremely rapid advances in technology are increasingly distancing us from the real world, making us ever more individual. Especially in these times of the Corona crisis, when everyone is dependent on technology, this can lead to a very lonely feeling. There is a longing for togetherness, to feel as if you are part of a group. Before the last century, this community feeling was of the utmost importance. This was also visible in the traditional costumes, each group had its own silhouettes, colors and prints. Nowadays this same principle is also reflected in club garments. Especially within the motorbike club communities they value their club jackets very highly. The two contrasting lifestyles of the past and the present still have shared common values. This is why the collection combines the Spakenburg traditional costume with the Satudarah motorclub garments. Visualised by using design elements from both contrasts in silhouette and print but reformed for contemporary times.

Antiquity
Antiquity introduces a new traditional dress that can be changed in size and can be passed on from generation to generation. This collection is a reaction to chaotic modern-day life and takes inspiration from a future scenario where people will live in small, self-sufficient communities again. Traditional dress often develops in these communities, because there is less influence from the rest of the world.
The garments are made from rectangular patterns, creating shape by pleating or cutting the fabric. You can add or remove pleats to change the size of the garments. This way, you can still use the same garments when your body changes, or when you want to give them to someone else. By making more cuts or connecting them again, you can change the appearance of the outfit.
As making materials is very expensive and time consuming for these communities, only a limited choice of fabrics will be used, like wool, silk and recycled polyester. For the same reason, they also don’t dye these fabrics. This means that the physical garments will be in their natural white. The digital designing space is used as a creative tool and outlet, where they can learn and collaborate as a community to create colorful designs and prints.

These garments are inspired by the back-to-the-land movement. The people who move away from cities to live in the country are very humble and thankful for their opportunity to live a more analog, sovereign and self-sufficient lifestyle. By constructing the garments out of 100% Italian wool and a unprocessed canvas, it enables them to work on the land, use the clothes for casual wear and dye them themselves with natural dyes they harvested from their land. By creating clothing out of undyed natural fabrics and fully biodegradable trimmings, it gives them the opportunity to give thanks to the land, God, Jah, Jahseh, Allah, the Sun or any other deity by burying these clothes at the end of their lifespan. All praise the most high!
