This collection is created especially for an exhibition about 'de Ploeg', a famous Dutch textile factory. ‘De Ploeg’ was a great inspiration with their amazing textile prints, fashion designs and their admirable ideology. It resulted in 4 dresses created around 2 concepts, ‘The Colour-In Dress’ and ‘The Replacement Dresses’. In both concepts textile patterns were the essence of the design, these patterns originated in collaborating with graphic designer Michiel Schuurman. He designed some beautiful textile patterns to fit in the concepts and with a touch of ‘de Ploeg’. The concept of the dresses make it possible that the cloth is partly designed by the person who wears it, which hopefully makes them more valuable to the wearer.
Believe it or not I had a similar dress way back at the beginning of time. It was white with a pattern of multiple strings of beads printed on the front and came with a set of markers. I haven't thought of that dress since I coloured outside the lines and had to trash it.
