Last
weekend I have been exhibiting some of my work at the event Saloné della Moda.
I will first give you an introduction to the event; Saloné della Moda is an
independent fashion/ lifestyle event which took place 27-28-29th of May in
Rotterdam, Delfse Poort. It is an event for talented designers, brand and other
creative's. During the event there are drinks exhibitions and fashion shows. Everyone
is welcome and is able to buy a ticket.

My first
impressions of the location Delfse Poort was; ''this is amazing''. What a beautiful
building and great location right next to Rotterdam Central station. The first
day we build up our spot in the middle of the floor, where I could present my
new menswear collection. Instead of mannequins I had real life models as you
can see on the pictures. My main goal is the event to let the people meet with
my new menswear collection. Nevertheless I also wanted to show them my old
collection which I exposed as well, and even sell now! (If interested send me a
message)
Characteristic of my work is that it always has
a deeper meaner that just clothing. This is the story of my menswear
collection;
GHOST FiSH
This is a story about a man with no name.
Dreaming on the streets. How people see him is created from the moment he was
born. He is trapped in a reality where ‘’free speech’’ is the thing which isn’t even free.
His thoughts are about the imbalance in the
society. Thinking about shrunken brains and fools who can’t see this. He feels
like a fish spinning and spinning in this endless boil which he can’t escape
from.
He feels like a ghost because people can’t see
him, can’t feel him.
Soon more photos
will follow and I will also give you an update of my favourite shows from Saloné
della Moda!
And a big
thanks to my awesome models: Ibrahim Ndiba, Lorenzo Marcelino, Randall
Harrevelt, Colin Koster and Benjamin Dessaline Smith.
I also want to thanks Jerry Luxenburg (creative director) and Saphira Peeters
for giving me this great opportunity!
