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.
