Tuesday, November 19th, 2019

Years literally fly by teaching at Rietveld, but I guess its never too late to publish our students achievements. So here I proudly present the fashion graduates who showed their final collections in the former ship yard NDSM Loods in Amsterdam North on 6 June 2018.

Galatée Martin
Antonina Maria Paw lowicz
Tatiana Quard
Nikola Cemanová
Lieselot Elzinga
Sonia Witwitzka
Anna Myntekær Sørensen

And the brilliant remake of the entire March Issue of British Vogue, fashion detox style, with Rietveld students and teachers in simple white tee and jeans replacing all models, by fashion graduate Sonia Tet in collaboration with Graphic Design graduate Line Arngaard.
Yes, ‘yours truly’ had the honor of modeling in ‘A March Issue’ too….

PARTS PROJECT The Future is Female

Tuesday, November 19th, 2019

Artist and writer Twan Janssen contributed his signature intimate musings to the exhibition The Future is Female, curated by Francis Boeske and showing 13 female artists, and I had the pleasure to help him finetune and translate the copy which featured prominently in the exhibition as well as in the catalogue. A beautiful way to learn more about the chosen works that were on show in Parts Project in the Hague (27 May – 15 July 2018), by artists Lucia Tallova, Yael Davids, Rose Wylie, Annemarie van Splunter, Roos van Haaften, Karin Sander, Aase Seidler Gernes, Danielle Kwaaitaal, Sister Corita Kent, Katharina Grosse, Rosemarie Trockel , Sylvie Fleury and Lily van der Stokker.
