I finally received the photo's from my most fun and exciting project this year. Berber Soepboer approached me in august to design the textile for a series of dresses. The dresses will be shown on the 7th of september in Bergeick in a very famous textile factory 'De Ploeg'.
Berber makes wonderfully complicated and inventive clothes (please check out her final-exam section on her site). All her clothing can be in some way altered or adjusted by the wearer. For this assigment she worked around two concepts.
COLOURING-DRESS
The first one being a dress with a black and white dessin, which can be hand-coloured.
ASSEMBLY-DRESS
The second one is a set of three dresses that can be taken apart and combined with a button-system.
It was a LOT of work (I designed over a 100 patterns and Berber worked around the clock to get the sewing and the hundreds of buttons done) but I had an incredible time. This was also the first time in years I really worked together with an other designer and it think it was a big succes.
Berber...if you're reading this...let's drop everything, form a label (Soepboer & Schuurman) and take over the fashion-industry!

I'd buy! Both dresses are incredibly imaginative, whimsical and beautiful. I loved both your efforts. Do the fashion label.
I would definitely buy these as well. They are gorgeous!
